HOW TO STAY ON THE ROAD :)

[Martinnfb]

Gentleman , 

Here are the very few rules to follow, the rest is up to your imagination, interest and creative skills.

• Eligible to enter is any subject that is using two propulsion units, that can run separately from each other in one vehicle / vessel / airframe.
• Scale free ! 
• Started entries are an OK, although they shall not be built further then approximately 25%
• Starting date January 25. 2024, End July 3. 2024.
• there will be a little beauty pageant run on the side, the prize will be ICM's marvelous B-26 ( staff members are not to be eligible to snatch it)
• HAVE FUN !!!

Or this one

I’m liking it!  I have this ready to go, with only slight work done….

Its sat for years and has quite a bit of hanga rash, so this’ll need to be revisited a bit.

 

 

 

[telepatu]

Woohoo, it's on! I'm in, maybe this will provide enough motivation for the Revell's big bug to move forward. It should be less than 25% done.

I think you’re good to go in Europe, so start a build thread and have at it!

I'm in with a Tamiya 1/48 F-14A Tomcat with the brilliant Furball set for VF114 The Aardvarks. 

 

[PanzerWomble]

Choices choices ....currently ....I have all in 1/48 stash 

.....Tamiya F14A that I threatened to build for the get it wet GB before moving house 

...an ICM Ju88 just because I fancied building one

...and Airfix EE Lightning ..because I've built lots of them over the years and it is truly the bestest airplane ever in all history IMHO

 

Definitely will pick one of the above ..and maybe think of a 'left field' entry too .

I'm with Mark and liking the Lightening.

Does scale matter?  Does it have to be 1/32 or larger for planes?

[ScottsGT]

Wow!  That was fast.  I’ll join in just for fun if I can get this TWIN ENGINE F-4J PHANTOM done asap.  I think it’s a little further along than 25% though.

Mike

Shouldn't as I'm in with a 48th scale F-14.

 

[Martinnfb]

No scale restrictions. 

[Landlubber Mike]

Thanks guys!

[CANicoll]

Ack!  I'm already a week late.  Choices, choices, now that Peter is in with the F-14... Arrgh.  I've been wanting to do a Vietnam Phantom for ages....  Still contemplating...

[RalphSarc]

Oh cool!! I had no idea. Maybe I’ll enter once I return from our Florida RV trip in March!!

[denders]

I've been wanting to join in on this GB but I didn't want to get into a deep modification, etc. because of all the other kits that I have started and would like to finish sooner than later. So, a few days ago, while seated in the 'thinking room', this came to mind. It's a twin.  I bought it last March when we were in Phoenix, and it was on the shelf at Andy's. OOB

That should be fun. I was looking at a TIE Fighter myself. 

[Martinnfb]

Sweet, always wanted to build one as well.

This GB is shaping up so well , such a collection of interesting builds going on. 

[DocRob]

Found this today and was wondering .

Cheers Rob

[CANicoll]

Is there a 'Better Late than Never" category in this build?  

[PanzerWomble]

Yup I blew it .

Story of my life. 

[Martinnfb]

OK, gentleman, the group build is officially over, however , a few of you are still working on your projects. Should we go for a little extension? What do you guys think? 

Cheers

Martin

[Peterpools]

Martin

I vote yes, go for the extension.
