Global Scale Modeller

I'm thinking of joining this GB but as my knowledge of aircraft is pretty much limited to: they fly. So does anyone have any suggestions for a kit? The only things I know I would like is something not too big, so probably 1/72 scale or a small 1/48 plane and that It is a propeller plane. As this would be more or less my first plane (at least in over 20 years, build a few with my dad when I was like 7) it should be a fairly well fitting kit.

So any suggestions?

Tamiya do a nice mossie in 1/72 and 1/48 or there is the J87 Stuka quite a few kits about single engine so not to big hope this helps.

Hi guys sadly my b-17 and dauntless may not be finishing in time as I'm busy getting ready for college maybe I'll try entering a 1/72 bomber

Only heard good things about Revell's recent release Ju88 in 1:72 scale kit number 04672.

New tool, excellent detail, should be readily available and very reasonably priced.

Check out some on line reviews before you make a decision. Note these kits no longer come with swastikas in the decals, so if you want them you will have to source them seperately.

Hi Guys,

My first GB.

I'm trying to do my best and hopefully i can learn a lot from you.

I'm going to Build a Revell 1/72 Heinkel He 177 A-5 out of the German Veteran Aircraft Gift Set

I dont know how good this Kit is, but we will see it soon

Nice one Alex

SUCH COOL IDEAS!!!!!*droool*

I'm at a bit of a loss on what to build, my fault, since my degree in History and love of bombers is getting in the way of being able to narrow it down! heh heh

What scale did you go for?

this might be a stupid question but how do you enter a group build do you just start a new thread
some one help !!!!

yep that is the simple version of saying it
here is how it goes:
go to the gb/sig you want to enter
once you clicked on that you get 3 options the chat/guidelines , the builds and the reveal sections
go to builds and start a new topic
then enter the name of your build so the name scale and the manufacturer of your entry
then you need the photo's of your kit as proof that it is in a unstarted condition so some shots of the sprues
then you are all set and just start building your kit

it is the idea that you make regular updates showing your progress and telling what you did and how
once finished place pics of the final result in the reveal section
and that is it
you could go to youtube aswell and look for coen c he made a video on how everything works around here
so i hope this helps
cheers Mark

thank you most helpful I will get on it tomorrow

Ive got a TU-95 "Bear D" nuclear bomber im thinking of building

Nice Id like to see that one dude.
