Night Fighter SiG

Post by aur0ra145 »

Howdy folks,

Posted on the Facebook page and now I'm posting here. I'm seeing how much interest there maybe for a night fighter sig. Non-official but if there is enough interest I'll provide some prizes.

I'd want to limit it to prop driven purpose built or modified to be a night fighter aircraft. So stuff like a P-61, Bf-110 G-4, etc.

I'd be looking to start around early to mid February and would 3-4 months long, possibly longer.

Any input please post here. I've participated in GB's and SIG's here but never started one. So I really have next to no idea what I'm doing.

Cheers

:banana: I have a "UHU" sitting in the stash that I've been to scared to start :eeek: Your SIG would give me a boot up the arse to start it. Due to a busy bench, can I ask that it runs for at least 4 months? (Preferably 6 months).

Sweet. I'm going on a two week long thing for work. When I return, I'll hammer out details and get this started.

I have already expressed my interest, it just needs someone to take ownership of this?

If you can do it, go for it! Work got super busy since I originally posted this. Which is taking a heavy toll on my bench time. I don't think I've done more than 30 minutes of bench time over the past 3 weeks.

Ok here's the deal. We can set up a Sig if we get around 25 'expressions of interest' otherwise I'll kick this off as a buddy build. I'll let this run until 31 May and see how many are interested.

Looks like being a buddy build so I'll start a new topic in the 'Buddy Build' area.

Edit: Maybe not, looking through the Buddy Build rules you need ten interested people.

I've got an Eduard 1/48 Bf 110 G-4 Profipack and a Tamiya 1/48 He 219 with loads of aftermarket, so am keen on this idea, but am going for surgery soon, so Ill probably have to give this a miss....
