USAF 75 Years GB *** Complete & Archived ***

Looking forward to this one, something multi-engined from me (of course)

Welcome aboard Ray!

B-52? B-1? C-130? A 1/72 C-5 maybe?

[Stuart]

Still looking forward to this one.

I have a lot of USAF stuff in the stash. At the moment I'm thinking of building the first and the latest Jets in USAF service - so the F-80C and the F-35A. But I might just as well do the Italeri Blackbird I have... Choices choices...

[H-bomb]

Me too. I've already got a Valom B45 tornado out of the stash
Cheers Howard

I need to visit the stash...

Now that's a cool choice!

This sounds rather interesting and I think I have just the thing.

Cool! Welcome aboard Darryl!

Yikes, I'm getting ambitious!
I would like to participate with the Hasegawa 1/72 RF-101C converted to an A/C version, with aftermarket seat and decals.
Is that permissible?

Cheers,

David

Yes sir, if the USAF flew it, it's allowed!

Woohoo!

Mind if I jump on board. I have a few kits that I have no idea why I bought them. Sabre, Blackbird and Mustang are the main candidates.

Hi Andy,

No problem - jump aboard.

[Stuart]

Just something to note - I'm actually going on Holiday for the last week of July and the first week of August. So whilst I'm still okay to be GBL during that time, and will probably take a F-80C kit with me to build and my PC, I might be more communicative during the morning and evening.

Still mulling over what to build - I have in the stash...

A-10A
F-4G
F-15A
F-15B
F-15C
F-16B
F-35A
F-111E
F-80C
F-100D
CH-53
SR-71
C-130
T-38

And probably others that I've forgotten.

Sorry, folks, but I am not going to be participating in this one after all. I will enjoy watching though!

Just wanted a clarification on a few questions that came to mind:

1) What about Air National Guard aircraft from that period? I have some ANG subjects that would fall into that category.
2) If not, what about Air National Guard units that were federalized for certain operations. For example a Alabama ANG RF-4C from the 106th TFS or New York ANG F-16A (Boys from Syacruse) that few in Operation Desert Storm 1990, or one of the units federalized for the Berlin Crisis of 1961, Vietnam, In addition, you had Air National Guard KC-97s supporting USAF units in Europe for 10 years during Vietnam.
3) Finally what about prototypes? I am thinking about the Lockheed XF-90, North American YF-93, and McDonald XF-88 that are sitting in my stash.

Count me in in any case but I have this itch to finally build the KC-97L that has been sitting in my stash for some time.
