Cargo Haulers Group Build *** Postponed until 2017 ***

[Old_Tonto]

Have we ever had one of those? I was thinking any transport aircraft but I guess cargo ships or trucks too.

Anyone interested.

6 week build time scale. Any scale. Land, sea or air vehicles welcome.
I will leave the poll open for 10 days.

Plenty out there to choose from so chalk me in

This sounds like a good idea, with a nice variety of possibles!

I might (I said might mind you ) get my Revell A400 out for this.....

(And then give myself a severe ticking off for being silly and put it away again.... )

Count me in

[JohnRatzenberger]

No, we have not had a Cargo-focus GB and it's a good idea, and a bonus if we open it to air, land, sea.

You know....how about instead I just consider the Junkers F-13 bush cargo plane already in my stash....

Put me down as interested.

Wow, a good idea. Not something I'm usually accused of.

I keep doing the exact same thing with my Revell C-160. It's a beauty of a kit but massive! That's what got me thinking about a group build.

Sounds like we may have enough interest to make this one a go if we can get a few more takers. So far we have:

OT (me)
VickersVandal
Kitaholic
Iggie
MarkyM607
Jratz (maybe)
Dwomby (maybe)
Clashcityrocker
TomW (maybe)

I was thinking of making this a six week build as some of these subjects can be on the large side. Would that be OK John?
We could include Transport helicopters too.

Transport helicopters? Better start fondling the Mi-26 again and pray for some mojo

Done that one!, it's a good kit although the windscreen was soft plastic and didn't fit well. Ended up cutting it into five pieces and adding each on separately. Otherwise recommended. Looks dominant on the shelf too!.
On a side note, I have the A400 plus a C-17 and an An-124 so I'm in!.

I imagine we could find 6 weeks, let's see how it goes.

Put me down as tentative, depending on timing. I think the few pure transport kits I have tend to favor passenger but that's OK, I'll find something in there.

Good man. Passengers are simply 'Specialist' cargo.

Or 'self-loading' (and in the case of the various Parachute Regiments, self-unloading as well )

[DavidWomby]

Depending when and how long, I could be up for this one. Lots of RAF cargo and passenger transports that never come to the top of the stash.

[Old_Tonto]

Ok David. I will put you down as a maybe. I will see how many have expressed an interest in this GB after this weekend. If we have enough I will put up a dates poll.

[Clashcityrocker]

I think if I applied myself I could finish something in 6 weeks.
Pencil me in.

Nigel

[Old_Tonto]

Good man.I will add you to the list.
