TJTX Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Dont use all that junk on the inside of the Trumpy P-47 and it's an easy really good build. Only fit issues are the gun doors. I have a Has P-47 I may jump in with. I'll need to see what my schedule is like. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 7, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2020 Tony, that's one sweet looking ride. That's a scheme I thought hard about, but in the end, I want to be different and do NMF for the Razorback. Then do another and backdate it to an early C. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'd consider jumping in if I wasn't in the middle of my Mosquito build. Still got a long way to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I am already in the middle of 10 builds and can't take on more until April. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have a slightly started Hasegawa P-47D, only started working on the IP and painted a few parts on the trees. Then I have a Hasegawa Zero that I painted the cockpit parts on the trees. I also have a Trumpeter F-105D with a completed cockpit, but nothing else done. And finally, I have a Trumpeter F-117 that is all black and extremely low parts count. So I think I’m in. That gives me two weeks to finish the Marder I was working on. Speaking of which, when is the other group build done? I finished the Mustang, just never took RFI pictures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I might be persuaded into pulling my Ki-61 out of mothballs! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I am very interested in watching from the sidelines, and living vicariously through the builds of you all. I have enough started kits and projects to be getting on with. As my Mum would say... "Finish your Veges before you get Desert!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Love to join in but haven’t a 47 in the stash and really really want to finish my Tempest and Corsair. The Corsair has Ben on the bench now coming on nearly five years .......and the Tempest four years..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkranias Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Love the idea Ernie. I'll have to pass though. Right now I am focusing on wrapping up Fa330 project (display base) and a few fixes on previous builds (P40B windscreen, P47 Slick Chick wing repair after dropping tool on wing). Then I'm on to a few big projects. TAM Mossie and my first WNW builds. Frankly, not sure if I am capable of "quick build". I've actually tried mojo rejuvenation builds with little 1:144 Spits and knocked them off in a few weeks. Kicking off a 1:32 bird in a quick OOB type build? It just is not in my DNA. Model On! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mojo-restoring build, I'd say build whatever the heck you want just make sure you enjoy it! I think the ki84 tailplane angle issue in Dale's photo above is likely from not slotting the tailplanes together when inserting them into the fuselage. I wish I could say I never made that goof myself, but I'd be lying... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty44 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Pretty sure the original intent was OOB Hasegawa, then Trumpeter creeped in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three I’m looking at: Trumpy Razorback ‘bolt, Hase bubbletop ‘bolt, Revell P-51D-5NA My idea was to do a quick something so I could put something on the shelf. Just a mojo restorer I’d say a Takom FT COULD be done in six weeks, but it’d be tough. That’s a huge project 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
