daz greenwood Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 As much as I love the mighty cat, I can't see the point as we have a swing-wing GB coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 a single type build instead of anything with swing wings, and it wont be until next year or 2013 anyway if the current calendar is anything to go by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 so it probably wont be until next year, but thats ok, I have plenty to get on with for now....anybody fancy a Tomcat GB? I'll host but need a co-host as well Great idea, for a STGB you don't need a co-host but one can be handy if there's a lot of entries. As much as I love the mighty cat, I can't see the point as we have a swing-wing GB coming up. No swing-wing GB on the calender Daz if you want a Tomcat STGB the date will be in early 2012 and will need five interested members, for a swing-wing GB you will be looking at a date of mid 2013 and need fifteen interested members and two hosts.

Giorgio N Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Although I'm struggling to keep the pace of the other GBs I've entered, this is a subject I love and I'm happy to take part in it ! What I'll build ? I have a few in the stash: a Hasegawa A with VF-154 markings, a fujmi B with twobobs decals for VF-103, a 1/48 monogram D with decals for VF-213 or VF-2... probably will be one of the 1/72, as an STGB does not take long enough to work on the monogram kit as I'd like.

jacksdad Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I was thinking about what to do and then I remembered a project I was gathering bits for. How about a 1/32 Cat just at the point where the wheels hit the deck, with wings, flaps, slats and spoilers all hanging out? Ooohh yummy. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...se_(CVN_65).jpg Steve Edited April 15, 2011 by jacksdad64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb13 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't know where I'll be in a year's time either, but definitely count me in for this. I love the Tomcat and it's already on my list of kits to buy & build. In fact, the hardest thing will be waiting 'til next year! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I would also be interested. Either a VF-2 Machine in OIF or a VF-84 jet in desert storm. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Like the idea of the landing 'cat....how would you attach it to the deck at that angle?

jacksdad Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Like the idea of the landing 'cat....how would you attach it to the deck at that angle? That would be telling. I once did a 1/35 Chinook on the side of a hill on it's rear wheels and it will be by a similar method. I am going to be posting pics of my previous builds so you will see for yourself. I also picked up a 1/32 section of flightdeck on ebay a while back that I will use. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
