Great. Now I REALLY have to clean up my work area and decide which partly finished builds I finish and which I put aside to work on bit by bit.

The hardest part of this is picking which kit to build.

The hardest part of this is picking which kit to build.

Which conflict would you prefer to do ?

I think I will do Vietnam era.

[DBMiller]

I have a few kits that could fit this build - Viet Nam and Gulf war in particular - B-52, F-105, F-4, Tornado, F-15, A-10, etc.
Also, it's a bit (quite a bit!) of a stretch, but I have several that fit the "Cold War" conflict - if that counts. More B-52s!!!
But the one I like most is my newest purchase - The Pucara!
It is 1/48 scale so it could go for my 1/48 drop in if I go with a different kit for the main build.

One way or another it will be built this year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

While I have participated in many Group Builds (GB's) in several other forums, I think it is high time I play here too. Consider me in on this one. Here are some of the ones I'm most eager to start building right now, which one should I choose for this GB?

1/144: F-18 Carrier Launch

1/35: M270 MLRS

1/32: A-10 Tank Killer


While I'm still building my 1/350 Yamato for another forum's GB and normally only build one model at the time, I will be happy to add one of these for this group build. Perhaps it will test my ability to multi-task (smile).

Happy New Year once again, and please help me pick one of the models listed to start in this GB.

Sorry Ben but you have to build for yourself and make up your own mind...

Ps....I'm thinking of building a Ontos

"Cold War" conflict - if that counts.

This is probably one for the philosophers but I'm going to say the "Cold War" as an overall umbrella is out of bounds for this one as it's not technically a conflict in its own right - although any of the conflicts that took place within the CW Period obviously work fine.

Hope that makes sense but let me know if anyone has any strong feelings the other way and we'll take it to review

I agree. It was just brain storming. Anyway, we already had a cold war build.

The A10 in Desert Storm colours would be appropriate I think?

OH, yes! They used to fly out of a base not far from where I worked. They were replaced by F-15s. I miss the Wart Hog.

[DRUMS01]

I just noticed something, my A-10 is the twin cockpit / all weather variant and it did not participate in the sandbox. I will have to build something else. So I'm going to build a 1/48 A-7 Corsair as it fought over Vietnam, Greneda, Lebanon, Libya, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. I think that will qualify for this GB.
