Crikey Mark; there's a few to choose from there!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Large *Scale* Plane (leisurely) GB *** Aug - Oct ***
I, for one, would be keen to see one of the 21st Century kits on the table...I've always thought that it was a shame that they were so poorly-marketed; they were worth the price of admission purely for the crew figures and decal sheets; the screw=together aspect of the models needed a little work but nothing excessive...Titan wrote:Yep I'm still in, just gotta decide on which one to build from this little lot....... still I've got a few weeks to whittle them down....

Slow on the uptake as always, I've only just found this thread. I'll obviously be in as 1/32 is my favourite scale and I have a Revell SIG table to fill in September so this has come at just the right time. I'll be doing the Revell 1/32 McDD F-15E Strike Eagle as you can hang an impressive amount of things that go whoosh and bang from it.
Cheers
Al.

Re: Large *Scale* Plane (leisurely) GB *** Aug - Oct ***
As of the July 11th, we have 14 sign-ups and two that haven't indicated either way.
Sign-ups are always open to others.
The "rules" ...
A leisurely large scale planes GB running 30 July through 30 October, 3 months.
Large scale means 1/35 or larger. Size does not matter, scale does.
Planes means wingy-thingies of any era, markings, etc, to include sci-fi, real space, and whiff in that range.
Also any media - styrene, resin, vac-form, card, wood, etc.
Previously started projects will be allowed depending on the degree/lack of progress.
The list of players
jRatz - Yes
SJPONeill - Yes
iggie - Yes
FredK - Yes
rob_van_riel - Yes
timet10 - Yes
DazDaMan - Yes
K5083 - Yes
TobyC - Yes

I intend to open the forum next weekend (16th or 17th) to allow two weeks for threads to open, box, sprue, instruction pix to be posted, questions asked, references provided, chest-thumping, all that good stuff .... after all it is a leisurely GB so we'll treat it that way ...
This gives me a week (or so, who's counting) to make my final(-ish) choice ....

I'm still up for this I reckon. Got a few big'uns purchased in a fit of enthusiasm so might need to do a poll!

Re: Large *Scale* Plane (leisurely) GB *** Aug - Oct ***
Mojo has been somewhat absent for a few months, but seems to be making a comeback... so assuming this continues in the same vein for the next coupla weeks, I have a few 1:32s stashed...
Got a Revell Hawk T.1A in red plastic, but have some nice-looking decals for a wraparound green/grey scheme - I'd probably go with that - OOB apart from the decals.
Put me down as a 'probably'
