USMC Group Build *** Complete & Archived ***
I was wondering if any of you would be interested in a group build focused on the USMC. Aircraft,armor, vehicles,hovercraft, figures......you name it as long as it was or is used by the Corps.
Obviously any scale and manufacturer. Any time frame included.
My father was a career Marine and I grew up on a Marine air base so it’s a bit of a heritage for me. I’m just testing the waters so to speak. I’m curious as to the interest level of you guys.

Re: USMC Group Build
I have a number of 'tweener Yellow Wings aircraft to get to; I'm sure some of them were eventually handed down to the USMC
OTOH, maybe an opportunity to go look for a figure - I'm already making notes..
So, pencil me in - time dependent as usual.

Re: USMC Group Build
I may do that. I haven’t been down there in nearly 30 years. The last time I basically drove thru it on a weekend trip to the beach. Didn’t even have time to stop.

Re: USMC Group Build
I’m 350 west of Richmond in Bristol. So I’m afraid I won’t be making that drive. Did it many times though when my daughter was at VCU. It’s a beautiful city. Just to much of a drive for me

I suspect I have a couple of suitable subjects so would be up for this

Re: USMC Group Build
No I’m not Jack Reacher, but I think I may have to get some of those books and give them a read.
So we have myself and 3 others. Any more?

Yep, this sounds like fun. Might have to do a Phantom, but will look for options first.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

Re: USMC Group Build
Funnily enough I was just looking at the Airfix AV-8A Harrier and thinking I need to build it.
So count me in.

Count me in. Possibly with a Phantom or Skyhawk but I will have a looksee through the stash before I decide.
