spike7451 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I second what Doug said, it would help greatly with getting the right duration.Stephen I may be if the seller can keep it for me till I start my new job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Although there's a 24th scale SHAR in the stash I'll likely enter one of various 48th or 72nd scale kits depending on duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'd like to do one of my 1/24 kits, but I will more than likely be doing a FRS1 or 2 in 1/48 as I don't have the room to store anything bigger at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 My plan was a Hasegawa/Revell GR.7 with Aires cockpit and exhausts in winter-whitewash. Nothing too fancy... Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've got another 1:24 in the stash but the rate the 1st one is going it's a non-starter. I thought I'd do a 1:72 - possibly the 11/61 trials aircraft. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4rk Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 More than one Harrier on my build plan so I would be keen to join as well. Most likely a GR.7/9 but definitely 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Hi Doug and Mish, Please can you just clarify something? Doug, in your 2nd Jan 3.01pm post you mention that "Mish has suggested that we could make this a SIG build rather than a GB". What do you mean by SIG in this context? I see that a few of the names who've signed up are or have been IPMS(UK) Harrier Special Interest Group (i.e. SIG) members , but none of them have said anything about this GB to me or others in the Harrier SIG. Of course I'm happy for you all to be building Harriers, and look forward to seeing the results, but would like the 'SIG' aspect clarifying for all concerned. Many thanks, Nick Edited January 3, 2011 by NG899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, Nick nick mish is altering the gb processes there are normal gbs and short ones for a single aircraft, i.e. harrier, tonka ect i think this is whats ment just a mix up of terminology i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks Mark, I hope Doug and/or Mish confirm the same. As SIGs (Special Interest Groups) are already established in many areas of modelling, I trust that another acronym will be found for single aircraft GBs; mind you SAGs doesn't sound too healthy! It's quite a list of builders and models being planned, it's a shame they'll probably never all be seen in one place in the plastic rather than as pixels...

Col. Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Perhaps we could call it a STAG - Single Type Aircraft Group-build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nick Hi Nick, Yes exactly as Mark has said, the intent was for it to be a one off, sort of condensed group Build. As our Group Build schedule is proving so popular these days, we were looking at a waiting time of something like 18 months for a Group Build. Please be assured there's no intention of trying to encroach on your fantastic established Harrier SIG, perhaps we should call them SIB's, special interest builds? Can I interest you in joining the build Nick, your expertise would be most welcome? Hi guys, I'm a newbie here, more a lurker. But I'm very interested in joining this group build. Hi there, yes you're most welcome to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi Doug, Thanks for the news. I'd be happy to join but my build deadlines are mainly Nov 2011 - GR9, T12, P1127; plus 2x FRS1s for mid-Feb - all in 48th. The SHARs are started and just need final painting and detailing; though I appreciate they may not qualify as having been started last year. It would be good if between us we could arrange through the IPMS(UK)'s Exec Cttee for as many as possible of the SIB models to be displayed at SMW in Nov, alongside the Harrier SIG's display. What do you think? (I must warn you now that I'll be way too busy to help you set-up and man the display if it happens, but will help as I can; sorry!) What do the other builders think? If it's a go-er, I'll approach the EC on the SIB's behalf. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Couldn't of put it better myself Doug. SIB was my first choice, but the GB Massif seems to have latched on to SIG makes no odds to me on the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nick Sounds like you're a bit busy then Nick Like the sound of the Harrier display at SMW in principle, I'd better leave the mods to consider whether it's a goer politically seeing as were not IPMS affiliated etc... Mish - Perhaps we should refer to it as a SIB in the interests of political correctness in this instance...where's Greg, isn't he the expert in this field?

ChocksAway Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Kirk - err, STDs, I'd like to steer clear of them myself, but each to his own. I gather there are a lot of interesting variants out there in the "wild", some of which stay with you for life. .. if you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
