PeterB Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) To go with the FJ-1 my family bought me for Christmas, they also bought me this for my recent birthday- I could only get the Marines boxing but I assume that will be eligible? It will be interesting to see how it compares with its big brother, the Banshee. Pete Edited April 30 by PeterB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't tell the Navy that, or the Marines for that matter.But Marines livery is always welcome. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I don’t know yet if I’m going to do a full build for this GB, despite wanting too. I’ve got a couple USN WiPs that I’ll likely work instead. 1/72 F-14A, 1/72 F-8E, and a 1/48 RA-5C. Hopefully I’ll at least have some new completions for the inspiration gallery. But I frequently don’t do the “smart thing, so there may be something yet. We’ll see how much time is left after the NATO GB. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I think I can finally start my 'Tomcatters' kits that I have been collecting Initially I was just planning to do VF-31 jet age aircraft starting from F9F Panther - but a Buffalo with VF-3 Tomcatters markings found it's way to my stash recently, so I might start there. We will see how I feel when I get started. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Looks like there are more than a few worthy candidates reini. You may have to utilise the executive decision apparatus (toss of the coin). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenSharp Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 I dare say Colin once plastic bits start flying about in earnest, this place will be a chatterbox of the who, what , where, when and why. Which almost sounds like a solicitors firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a sidestreet called Malthouse Passage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Apocryphal Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I haven't participated in a GB in ages, and I've never actually completed a model during the GB timeframe, but undeterred, I shall throw my hat in the ring in the form of an Academy (ex-Accurate Miniatures) Grumman F3F-2. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Then it's about time.Finishing the model's not the goal,though an admiral trait. Having fun and seeing what you can come up with is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Loren, I wasn't one of the original signatories for this GB, but I hope that it is not too late to join in the fun. I am sure that I could find a couple of small but colourful subjects to fit the bill. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
