This is a GB for the USAF "Century Series" Fighters, which seems to be the F-100 through F-106 - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings.

This GB started from a thread here.

The GB runs from March 1st to 31st; your GBL is TobyC who will fill in any other info and arbitrate just what is or isn't a Century Series fighter.

It will be a century series, probably the 106 but enough kits are in the stash to make it a decisions, decisions sort of deal. :lol:

Does anyone have a spare canopy for the Monogram 1:48 Delta Dart? It's my last 1:48 Century jet to build and it didn't have the clear parts when it arrived.

Ill have to find my F104G first. I should even have two. Mistake on the data base, neither is in the box that it says one is in.

That should provide me with a good opportunity to exercise NMF again with 1/72 Hasegawa F104

I almost bought a suitable kit for this GB at Yeovilton yesterday. I stood at a stall with a 1/48 HobbyBoss F-100D in one hand and £20 in the other only for the vendor to ignore me while he continued to bump his gums yapping to somebody else. I stood there like a lemon for 5 minutes until I realised that this guy clearly wasn't interested in selling kits, put the Super Sabre back on the table and walked off. The other "customer" didn't buy anything :roll:

That's the way to run a business, eh?

Several reasons for this -
The kit was free = walk off with it without paying
You were invisible = walk off with it without paying
He was blind = walk off with it without paying
He was an idiot = walk off with it without paying

I won't be taking part in this build as I am being good and not buying kits just to do group builds. I have enough un-built kits it seems.

Will drop in and check on you guys from time to time. Good luck all. :lol:

I think I have an F100 in the stash so might be able to play.

It would great to have you aboard. I don't think anyone's totally committed to a Super Sabre yet.
