Fifer54 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I fancy having a go a this. I've got a Revell 1/72 Lancaster, but it's the Dambuster version- strictly speaking, that's actually a minelayer, not a bomber(!) Would it be eligible? My alternative would be the Revell/Monogram 1/48 B-25J Mitchell, but I want to build it as a USMC PBJ-1J. Love those blue bombers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNG, check out this blue PBJ, made from an ancient Revell 1/64 kit. I hope it is an inspiration for you......................

I hope it is an inspiration for you...................... PBJ Cheers, ggc That's super! It is definitely an inspiration... I've actually found a picture in William Green's "Famous Bombers of the Second World War" which appears to show a PBJ-1J without wingtip or nose radar pods, making the "conversion" a simple repaint... And it's a loooong time since I've seen a Revell display stand in that style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 MNG, thanks, I modified a bomb for the nose radar pod. This particular scheme came from an Aircraft in Profile illustration. The later engines are sourced from a similar scaled Monogram B-25H kit. The fusalage gun paks came from the spares box. On this particular kit, one of Revell's first, the clear part framing was on the inside of the part...so I used thin tape to replicate all canopy framing.

wkennerley Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I am still in for this but I have changed my build to a 1/144 Hobby Craft B-36D 'Prop-Jet' - doing the metal finish is gonna be fun Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jephcott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I am going to confirm my type tomorrow at some stage - I will need to nip to a shop first due to my absence of a Stash in this house! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGol Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I may have a go at this GB. Thinking of doing the Ilyushin Il-28 or the Harbin H-5 as I have them sitting here. This will be my first GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jephcott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 OK... the decision has been made on the kit. It's going to be... The Monogram 1/72 B-52D Stratofortress. Yes, I'm crazy. Yes, I have no space left in my house. But yes, I have lost SWMBO to the allures of Switzerland... and so... 76.2cms wide by 50.8cms long, this could be fun!

gcn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Cliff mentioned earlier in the thread that a DH.9a would be suitable but I didn't see it on the list posted in the official forum. Is this A/c still ok for the Group Build ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darson Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi all, I'd really like to get on board with this group build with a kit which has literally just turned up on my desk. I'll be doing the Tamiya 1/100 B-52D Stratofortress I know nothing about this kit at all and it's in a bizarre scale but I remembered a mate had one when I was a kid and I've always wanted one.

Paul Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't think I'll be able to enter this GB after all as I'm somewhat over committed at the moment. My Vulcan will have to wait for the V bombers GB. Sorry folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
