Yeah. The one I told you about. It is a rescue which I have totally dismantled and will rebuild. New decals from DRAW on the C-5A Patriot Wing. I figure the quickest way for the kit to be re-issued is to try to save this one. Man is it big.

Hmmmm my 144 stash seems to have dwindled to the contenders below.



I fancy doing the Stuka and its fiddly diddly bits of etch and seeing how I get on so that will be first up.

All the best

The Stuka is a very good choice. I found the etch very good and well worth the effort. I baulked at the masks, however.
Decals work a treat.

OK. I'm in with a Minicraft PBY-5A.

Nice kit, Dai. Biggest problem I had was painting the framing on the glassware.

Thinking what to do next, what to do next...

Okay...probably my last AZ Model Fokker VII/3m. I've done 3 of these to date, including a Polish military example. I fancy an Avro 610, with a nice blue fuselage and silver wings.

I've also got a TSR2 and a set of 1/144 617 Sqdn. decals, intended for a Tonka...Mmmmmm.

I also fancy a couple of easy Aeroclub builds, so I'll get my Thunderstreak and Thunderflash done together.

That should keep me busy for a while.

Although I wasn't planning on taking part in this GB temptation got the better of me and I've bought a Revell F-14D.

[MerlinJones]

Good Man.
It'll be done by next weekend and won't take any space on youir shelves.

[MerlinJones]

Has this GB really only been going for 10 days?!?

Seems like an age.

How're we doing out there?

You're having a blast, clearly! Planning to average a model a day?

Done the Avro and Thunderstreak. The Thunderflash turns out to have Thunderstreak decals and I really wanted the Belgian scheme, so that one's on hold, wilst I try to elicit a response from 'JohnAero', over at BritModeller.

I still have the TSR2 winking at me, although I'm trying to decide between a Pit Road and a Big Bird...

I think I have 3 more Anigrand Bonus kits to build...

...And EE sent me a Mikro Kit P.37 Los.

What to do, what to do..?

[MerlinJones]

It's been my intention throughout this GB, to introduce to those of you relatively unfamiliar with the scale, just what is available.
To this end, whilst I'm obviously enjoying the chance of a shared modelling frenzy, I am trying to be a little more varied in my choice of kits. Please do not take my productivity as a challenge to rise up against, nor feel any pressure to rush to complete whatever model you're working on. There's still lots and lots of time to go. If you finish and fancy another, all well and good...but NO pressure.
This is supposed to be fun, after all.

Merlin how many have you done now going to run out at the rate your going arent you and if you do the TSR 2 are you still planning on the 617 Sqn idea you mentioned earlier?? this is one scheme ive thought about doing myself in 1/72

[MerlinJones]

I expect you'll have time to do the Dr.1, btw.

Ooooh yes! A metal triplane, in 1/144, will certainly be different.

Can I play as a late starter? I got this today just for the GB.
