Members Mikester Posted February 6, 2015 Members Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to the Spitfire Group Build. This GB will run from 1 March to 30 September 2015. Rules: 1. Any Spitfire kit 1/32 or larger is eligible for entry. 2. Entries should be no more than 25% complete at the start of the GB, I'll leave this to your discretion, if in doubt just ask. 3. Any amount of kit bashing, after-market and/or scratch building is welcome as well completely OOB, just build it! 4. Last but not least, have fun! 1
Wingco57 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Ahhhh, this is a nice one. I'm in ( now to solve the photography issues preventing me from posting pics). Cees
One-Oh-Four Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 1. Use PC or Mac to post pics instead of iPad. 2. If that not helps turn to someone NOT completely digibetic (like the goatee-chap who follows you around a lot of the time...)
Beychevelle Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm in also, with the Revell Spit...maybe a new prop and seatbelts, otherwise oob. @ Cees...when you have issues posting photos...inserting links. It's a Windows thing. When you click on the top left icon...the one with some sort of "n" in it...you can insert a link (copy/paste). Manualy put the in front and behind it and it will work. Hope this makes sense
Administrators James H Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Posted February 6, 2015 I'll throw a prize in for this...an exclusive, signed copy of my book, 'How to Build the Revell Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa' Well, it's the least I can do 4
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Posted February 6, 2015 Mehehehehehehe
Grant Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Sounds good to me! I would love to have been able to use the Eduard Royal Class Spitfire Mk. IX but, wrong scale. I'm determined to actually build something (or even two somethings) this year !!! That'll be a feat and half !!
Administrators James H Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Posted February 6, 2015 Is it signed Jim? Y E S
RalphSarc Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Count me in!! I've always wanted to build Revell's Mk22 Spit!!
Tarasdad Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 My Revell Spit Mk IIa build is too far along so I'd have to acquire another kit. Looking at the ones availalbe I'd most likely want to go with a Tamiya Mk IXc. Unfortunately the cheapest I can find one is right at $100 shipped, and Revell or HobbyBoss with aftermarket is only about $15 cheaper. Not too sure I can do that for a bit. Is there a cutoff date for entry?
Dave J Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Cut off is 30th Sep. To be honest... you really don't need any of the eduard stuff for the Tamiya kit. I would go box stock with some Barracuda bits and a am harness
Dave J Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I will jump in with a USAAF PR Spit with a Tamiya kit and Alley Cats conversion set.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 7, 2015 Administrators Posted February 7, 2015 Can i participate with a Tamiya spit MkIX with finished cockpit? Does that exceed 25 %?
Members Mikester Posted February 7, 2015 Author Members Posted February 7, 2015 Can i participate with a Tamiya spit MkIX with finished cockpit? Does that exceed 25 %? That's completely dependent on the size of the bribe you're willing to slip the GB coordinator! No problem, go for it! 2
Wingco57 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Does anyone know if the greymatter resin Spitfire engine castings fit the new Revell Spit? Talking Griffon here. I always liked G-FIRE Cees
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 7, 2015 Administrators Posted February 7, 2015 Nice book Jimbo. Cees Mwhahaha!
RalphSarc Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 So the GB coordinator can be bought!!! Good to know, lol!!!
wackyracer Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Hmm. Either a Revell mk2 (and I can use Jim's book as a guide) or a hobbyboss VB. Decisions, decisions!
One-Oh-Four Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Y E S You still need to sign mine, bought it specifically for that reason at last year's SMW...
Paulster Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 That's completely dependent on the size of the bribe you're willing to slip the GB coordinator! No problem, go for it! This usually works on him for me Jeroen. 2
Paulster Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 This would be mine as I already have everything in the stash. 2
Members Mikester Posted February 7, 2015 Author Members Posted February 7, 2015 This usually works on him for me Jeroen. LOL, the cheaper the better! If I'm corruptible at least it won't cost you much!
