Sundown Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, can't wait to get started! Can anyone tell me the overall colour of the cockpit? It looks a lot like admiralty gray to me. Edited September 3, 2010 by Sundown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabspat Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Ok i have modellers block again i thought i cured it with my Harrier GR.7 and then went onto a Phantom and bam i hit a wall. So i was looking through what i can do and i thought what better way to get over the wall than a GB. So if i can i will be doing a OOB 1/72 Bucc, if it ain't too late to sign up?

I have no problem with you joining in. There is plenty of time before the end of the group build and often a nice simple build can help restore your modelling mojo.

Mark M Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 well, my mojo has gone i cant even be bothered to look at a kit at the moment, so my builds are on hold, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel, there is a hawk staring at me, so i may give that a go soon and hope for the best, anyway there is no way i can compete with the standard of the builds on here WELL DONE, so ill keep plodding on, increasing my stash sorry guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I've got a Matchbox Buccaneer that I started back in the 1980's but I'm not sure if it qualifies under the 50% rule. This is where I'd got to before the build stalled; If it doesn't qualify for the Bucc GB it could make an appearance in the KUTA III GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
