Dave J Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 With most of the guys getting to the business end of the Revell Bf 109G-6 Review Build Off, we are starting to look at the next kit that could be next on the Build Off Review table... So what would you guys like to see us hit next? We would love to hear your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 ...if needed... You're supposed to enjoy the hobby. Mustn't be a duty! I'd like to build an F-84G and an F-104G because my father flew those in the '50's and '60's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 So no Armour Kits that you like??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkranias Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 So no Armour Kits that you like??? armor never really lights up my fun button. however, will always be willing to give armor a try, really no preference as long as it is a good kit and or interesting subject.

Jamme Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So no Armour Kits that you like??? Hi Dave. If you want somebody for an armor Group Build Review, I'm in. Didn't build an AFV for sooooooooo long. Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 AFV Review Build-Off is okay too, in my opinion. I just think (sorry if I'm wrong...) that there's more interest in aircraft than military vehicles on LSM?... Just regarding the number of posts in the Aircraft, AFV and GB sections...

Artful69 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Panzer Vor!! no ... seriously, anything is good! ... I'm loving all the different simultaneous POV's on the Revell G-6 (I may even buy a second one - when I have finished current procurement targets!!) I take it you guys will be building something newly released? ... Well ... * Dragon has something out every other month week day so why not from them? ... * Or the new Cyber Hobby Bf109E-7 ... * Or you could go HPH 410?? (although not everyone has the same budget allowances that I do!) ... * Or wait for the new Special Hobby Tempest (while a few of the Group Builds die down)?? ... * Also ... Academy has a new Pz.35(t) out!!! ... and the in-box review looks ok!! (I'm due to get one of these on the next 'stash procurement list') Just a few ideas ...

JeffH Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I could do a CyberHobby Emil or the Tamiya Birdcage....but I'd have to finish the Dora first. I only work on one at a time. How do these types of GB's work? I had thought of this idea a few years back but I figured the logistics would make it near impossible. That's assuming everybody follows the same sequence...but I assume you guys don't do that right? There's also the ZM Uhu I know Rog has it (what doesn't he have lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 ... There's also the ZM Uhu I know Rog has it (what doesn't he have lol) ... ha ha ha ... I bit the bullet and got one while grabbing another ZM and Tamiya kit as presents for a friend on a forum - the postage was only incremental, so I thought, stuff it! ... upon opening the darned thing the other day, I immediately uttered an admiring expletive - and promptly ordered a Mustang and TA-152 (This one is the 'anime' version as the original is now discontinued and sold out!)... to answer your question I still don't have a Tamiya kit though - plus, theres a few Panzer & Luftwaffe variants still on the "spreadsheet-of-dreams" ... along with a bucketload of AM correction and detail sets! There is that 'budget concern' I mentioned, when considering it for a GB for the experts, though! ... ZM kits are not on the cheaper side! ... and it's not exactly on the 'new-kit-out' list anymore - so fat chance of these guys scoring a 'review example' ... hell, we're already getting obscure hints as to their next release!! ... One things for sure - I be paying a lot closer attention to the next issue than previously! Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Though I've got CH's new 109E-7 Trop, I'm going to kick and scream against another 109. I've somehow, despite being ambivalent toward the type, managed to build four of the bastards in 1/32. Need to do other things for some time... lol ... P.109T.S.D - thats a new one! ... well - I have seen that you are good with armour - so maybe give that Acadamy Pz.35(t) a crack? ... whatever you experts decide I'll enjoy going along for the ride!!

One-Oh-Four Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Guys, how about a Meng Me 163B Komet Review Build-Off? Could be followed by a Kawanishi N1K1J Shiden-Kai Review Build-Off. To my eyes it looks as though the Komet doesn't really need aftermarket. Because of the strategy of Hasegawa to make an outstanding basis from which one can take it a step further it may be better to wait what the likes of Eduard are going to produce. For example; the BigEd for the Ki 84 Hayate is quite extensive and really takes thje base kit up a notch, while the plastic sure is already excellent!

One-Oh-Four Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Fair enough! Looking forward to them - whatever they are! However, I know that Huub (a friend of mine who also reads here and posted the EuroMilitaire 2013 photos) has ordered one. For such a project I would like to do that too, as it seems to be a project one can oversee (if that's correct English...) So maybe there are some more contenders?
