These are the two wing nuts kits to choose from...I will let the winner decide which ONE he or she wants



My Sopwith Camel, however, is off limits

[MarkVerploeg]

Well this is not with absolute certainty but i would be in if i can find the kit i want
After a bit of searching i found one online at a shop that is fairly close by but you can't order online over there so i need to pay them a visit
Wich will be tomorrow so then i know for sure
As a hint
It is only made by Revell in 1/48 and it has moving wings

You have just walked into the highly coveted

#13 spot
So many wish they could be that #, but it is all yours.

Ps if you are superstitious, I will change you out for another #
Awesome to have you aboard
We are getting some really high class top end modellers joining...I may have to up my sloppy work

No problem with the number what so ever
But it is a quite specific kit i want and there don't seem to be a lot out there anymore
But now i finally have room for that thing and i had one years ago
That one sadly took a nose dive and didn't survive

[DBMiller]

im deffo up for this, got a b-52 left over from the 'i heart tamiya' sig. ive been waiting for a chance to build it, and you have answered my prayers young man!

A B-52! Yes! My dad flew in them in the early 60's - the 'C' models with the tall tail.

your dad flew them?! thats pretty damn cool! mine is a D model, shame as i couldve done it in your dads colours. not sure what scheme ill go for, i like to do something a bit different when i can.

if youre doing the kit i think you are, i had one a few years back as well, its huge! sadly mine took a nose dive too, it was hanging on a wall but ended in bits on the floor. maybe all those kits are cursed?

He wasn't a pilot. He was a tech Sargent who specialized in pneudraulic (hydraulics and pneumatic) systems.

i see, so he had to work for a living then. still very cool to have worked on them, and lets face it, they wouldnt have flown without him!

[MarkVerploeg]

Well Chief i don't know wich one you are thinking about but the one i have in mind is big indeed
About 90cm or 3 feet in lenght and nearly as wide when you fold the wings out
I bet i can do a better job of it this time
The old one was handpainted with enamels
No varnishes ,no washes and no idea of what the h*ll i was doing

ha ha! that sounds exactly like mine, i had no idea what i was doing, just thought it was so cool looking and massive. and it had moveable wings!! oh to go back to the innocent days when we didnt give a f.... lol!

[DrSprue]

Wow, what great prize possibilities!

[Twokidsnosleep]

Wow, what great prize possibilities!

Ya, I have a few ideas in my noggin
How about a Favorite Nose Art Competition....post a nose art in a purposed thread and we draw for another prize.
That gets us up to prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, a random draw prize and a nose art prize. Hmm not bad for a Canuck, Limey and Auzzie

[Fridgy]

Ok due to much badgering by certain un named canadian, i shall try my hand at a 1/144 rockwell B-1B...... considering funds are tight and i cant find a 1/48 kit....

Badgering??? I would think it is called Beavering for Canadians
You are in with a 1/144 or the other one we talked about if need be, ok.

A most awesome Australian Captain Fridgy @ #14

[Fridgy]

Also.... just because i would be a sucker for punishment... and well as an on rd technician, whi has plenty of time between jobs, i will bravely volunteer to help scott with the running, organising judging etc....

Alright that sounds great, I have two helpers
Judges will be determined at a later date so no worries there.

Howdy,

I am all the way in on this SIG, gonna be building my Monogram B-17G.

I did say on New Year’s day “No new starts until everything is finished” but then you guys lay down some sweet tasting corn that I can’t help but peck up!

I’m very excited about this

[DBMiller]

This is what they looked like when my dad was at Westover AFB. That's an awful lot of gloss white and metal to paint!

B52C by Donald Miller, on Flickr

(From the Westover ARB Facebook page 285862272883.147054.273805187883/101529 ... 84/?type=3)
"Boeing B-52C Stratofortress is on display at an early 1960s Armed Forces Day at Westover. This aircraft is parked by the DC Hangar, called the isochronal inspection dock for today's operations at Westover ARB. This B-52 was assigned to the host unit at Westover Air Force Base at the time -- the 99th Bombardment Wing of the Strategic Air Command. The shield of the 99th is visible by the nose. SAC's 24-hour airborne ("Chrome Dome") alert missions, in addition to regular proficiency missions, kept the fleet busy throughout the 1960s with thousands of flying hours. These early models of the famous bomber, built in 1953 and '54, began to be retired in 1971. (HIstorical information provided by MSgt. Andrew Biscoe; photo courtesy of Stan Lukasiewicz)"

This company sells decals for various B-52 versions - including a set from Westover.

Well the B-1B Lancer was sold out
The shop doesn't keep an up to date stock on their site (hooray for being lazy )
So instead of that 90x85cm bohemoth i bought this one

20180122_153941 by Mark Verploeg - Flickr2BBcode LITE
Wich is still a bomber and it is the best looking bomber of WWII if you ask me
Allthough i will still be on the hunt for the 1/48 Lancer
I still want one of those

Well the plan was to get a 1/48 B-1B but no shop has them
But i am currently talking with someone who has one for sale
Even the same edition that i used to have and for a decent price
So i could still be entering the Lancer instead of the Heinkel
That is even bigger then the Heinkel too

Lovely to have you aboard, Sir
There is a bit of time to clear up those other projects before the sig starts

You are the all important, hopefully middle of the pack #15 for Captain Mylightweight

I am hoping for about 30 actual builds so we are half way to my goal

I am really looking forward to this one
She is a really beautiful piece of destruction
Can you imagine sitting up front with all that glass exposed as fighters come at you.....yikes!!!
What was the German Bomber in the Raider's of the Lost Ark Film where Indie is fist fighting the big German guy???
THAT would be cool to see built.

It was a fictitious BV-38 flying wing Scott

Here is a concept clip from a wesite by Peter Garrison. I guess they cut it down to 2 props for the final release.

A note from Air&space:
The BV-38 is a fictitious aircraft, albeit one that Raiders production designer Norman Reynolds extrapolated from a number of real designs, most notably the Horten Ho 229, a jet wing test-flown by the Luftwaffe in 1943. Other contemporaneous wings include the Northrop N1M , which first flew in 1940, and the even stranger-looking Vought V-173, the U.S. Navy’s “Flying Pancake” first flown in 1942.

How cool is that Tony...you are like the guy who knows ALL!!!
Right down to the plans
That would be a really cool diorama, two figures and a rotating bomber, engine prop running...hmmm maybe one day

No I dont know all bud, you mentioned it in your reply to Mark and I just had to google it! Wow I really thought it was a real WW2 rebuilt aircraft too! haha! Man it does look cool tho!

Yea, its on my dio list as well (hmm... well my 1st dio that is!!! )

Yea, its on my dio list as well (hmm... well my 1st dio that is!!! )

My crazy mind is formulating the central pivot for the plane to rotate plus a little motor to drive the prop
I have made a sandy base before when I did the 747 from Mad max so that is no problem
Finding workable figures would be the hardest part.....and then they would dictate the scale of the whole build
Hmmm
Damn I cannot take on a huge diorama project right now, but I am adding that one to my list as well
You are a bad influence

I am a bad influence..... I jump around on this forum like crazy (and cant get stuff done.. which is my fault tho) and you toss Steven Spielberg at me, our love of all kinds of aircraft, spacecraft, this very interesting bomber build, diorama creativity all over the place, that I still dream about... No my dear friend you are a ......

HEHE!! But we love you Scott! Thank you my friend for making this website very enjoyable!

[Tay99]

Ok count me had to dig deep to find this amongst all the race cars.

Ahh I just like to help, even tho Im almost a toddler myself in the hobby. (I think Ivan calls it the newbee card, and I have one!, hehe) What you and ISM makes possible (tips, vids, recs, comments) for any of us is really quite priceless.

[ElCapitan]

I would love to take part - time permitting of course with the new little one due in a matter of weeks now! I'll keep an eye out for some bombers on evilBay just in case!!

So instead of that 90x85cm bohemoth i bought this one

Allthough i will still be on the hunt for the 1/48 Lancer
I still want one of those

I found 1 on eBay..... if you want to pay $280Aud for it

All right just let me know
You have some time to sort things out, get a feel for your life with a little one and find a kit.
I will have a spot ready for you when you say, just give me the word and you are in

Holy crap, Easter is April 1st...whoops, that was probably blasphemy
The car and bike GB ends April 30th.
So maybe a good start date is May 1st and run it alongside the cold war GB???
Just thinking out loud

[digger303]

Maybe if I can find a bomber somewhere

[Twokidsnosleep]

Oh I wrote a big blabbering PM to you already
I shall hold off on numbering you until you are sure
There is plenty of space my friend

Just send another message here when you decide mate

[MarkVerploeg]

At this point it isn't certain that i will be building the Heinkel
I am talking to someone who is selling the kit i wanted in the first place

No worries Mark, we have your spot reserved for whatever you build

Great
I actually bought the big *ss Lancer but i will be looking for some after market parts
The kit isn't that new to begin with
The Heinkel will be a back up plan or in case i actually have time left a second

[chief5437]

That looks amazing!
