You know you wanna Steve. It'll be good for you and us as well.

[modelcrazy]

OK, guys, I'll jump in because of the nicest the two Joes I know.
I'll let you the crew decide which one though.

The Revell 1/32 F-8 with some nice after market




Or probably a better kit, without the AM. Eduard 1/48 F-8/R2

This is gonna be epic!!!!!

Without a doubt…..the Eduard offering. I’ve got three of these in the stash and one I have built. The hitch about these kits is they are designed to be built opened up so buttoning them up is fairly difficult. But MAN do these look so good opened up.

Gotta second Joe there. Go with the Eduard. I am immensely excited to see you join in Steve. It will be wonderful to build along with you again.

[modelcrazy]

Yeah, I can build the Eduard. I have never built one before.

This, my good friend, is very exciting news.

Alright. Time to count me in. Considering how much fun I had when Joe sponsored the first one on FSM and seeing the amount of participation ramping up for this one I figured I had best not miss out. I have been reluctant to join since I already have built an FW 190 and I have dozens of other kits of subjects I am dying to build. Then, it occurred to me that I could build a Ta-152 which I think is one sharp looking aircraft and, as such, would satisfy my desire to build something "different". With that, I will build the Dragon 1/72 Ta-152H-1 with some AM extras as of now. Really looking forward to this GB just for the shear amount of participation.

IIRC you did a F-8 or 9 back in 2013. Ether way it will be cool to get some of the original "band" back together along with so many new and over the top talented builders here.





  Anyways my little friend gave me a list of demands... I mean a want list for this GB





We will be doing a 1/32 Hasegawa FW 190D-9 and will be opening the entire thing up. Aires engine, wheel bays, gun bays and radio bay, Black Dog flaps and tail wheel, HGW rivets and belts, Quinta cockpit, Aims compartment openings and a few more surprises that ole little grey man Herman has up his plastic sleeve

This is gonna be a lot of fun in watching you put this one together Brent. You've got a TON of stuff planned out for this one bro. Most certainly glad to have you in the Butcher Bird II GB.

It will indeed be a real treat to build along with you and Herman once again as well as some of the old acquaintances and several new friends. I am definitely looking forward to your epic D-9 you have planned.

Cripes, the FW GB is down on page three!!! Forum has been active. Love it.

I'll get on top of an update, Joe!

[disc0stu]

I'd like to join.  I'd have to decide between the Tamiya Dora or the new-tooled Eduard A8, but either way I'd love to take part.

It'll be great to have you aboard Stu!!! Let me know which way you'd like to go and we'll put you on the roster buddy.

[disc0stu]

I think I'm leaning Eduard.  Go ahead and put that one down.

OMG! LOL! How did I miss 6 pages of this? I'll be in. I have 3 190s in the stash, so probably one of those. But I may buy another one. I'm like that, ya know.

In the stash (all 1:48):
Tamiya A3
Eduard OT A8
Eduard OT D9

[Green KreationZ]

Can you also add Eduard FW 190A-7 1:48 for me. I plan on doing both.

[Green KreationZ]

I’m pretty pumped for this build. I have 1 more thing coming in, and then I’ll be all ready for January.

We'll sure do it Keith and I'm just as ready as you are to get this all started.

With any luck, I'll be wrapping this Vette build of mine up by the end of December. I still cannot believe how long an auto build has taken me.

You can do it!! 

I am hoping to finish my two current builds by mid January. Guess time will tell. 

[eaglecash867]

The Z-M finally came in again at one of the vendors I was watching, so I snagged it.  Its finally on the way!  Woo-hoo!!!

I've got two ZM kits and am just waiting for a good time to bust out with them. I see a GB theme already for 2025 that should take care of one of them. lol

[dean48ws]

Count me in on this. I cocked this up and in a blond moment posted it in the wrong place. Don't ask how, I'm not sure myself. It will be the Eduard 190A -2
