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

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...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

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.

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

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!

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'
