Lets see what you've all got up your sleeves then....

Nothing.... YET lol.

Hoping to find something at Yeovil model show.

As before If anyone is not sure if a subject qualifies please leave a question here or PM myself.

Post by **Tonygol** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:19 pm

Nothing here. Ducking out of this one to concentrate more on the Steel Rain SiG.

Post by **ScaleModelling1105** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:22 pm

Revell 1:72 B-17G Flying Fortress for me. I know this will probably be quite a popular kit for the GB but oh well for some reason it's the only bomber I have currently. I'm going to build it completely OOB and it seems like a great kit. I've done an inbox review on youtube if anyone wants to see it.

Definitely my 1/72 scale revell B-17. This will get all my attention since Im not participating in the steel rain SIG

Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 7:57 pm

i'm going with guppy's choice
just a different modelling show

Post by **chief5437** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 8:27 pm

I was thinking of doing this...

But at 709mm wingspan, there's nowhere for it to go just yet!

So I'll start with this horrible kit that's been making the place look untidy!!

This is what ill be doing

https://www.youtube.com/user/bnealuk · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 8:41 pm

B-17 all the way so far then lol.

Post by **patrickroos** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 9:22 pm

Cant decide...

Will the Arado Ar E.555 be ok?
Never flew

but a bomber...Project.
Or, Italeri 1/48 JU87 D-5, Italeri 1/48 Dornier Do 217-M1, Hasegawa 1/48 Arado Ar 234 C-3.
Was also thinking Revell 1/32 He 111 P-1, JU88 A1 or A4 but dont know, they are BIG and not sure I have the Place right now.
Hmmm...

Post by **ScaleModelling1105** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 9:26 pm

I assume that if they manufactured them then it counts? But you'd have to ask T3hGuppy,Lee or Paul as I'm not really sure if it counts.

Post by **Drazimo** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 9:38 pm

I will be doing this...

And possibly in this scheme...

Yes, I understand that the yellow scheme is the prototype, but for one I'm not a rivet counter I do it for fun, and second... I don't care, it's my model I tell you! However, it's not set in stone, I just want to do something from the 'typical' mosquito theme.

Im going to say no to the Arado Ar E.555

As they never built a prototype.

Prototypes are fine though.

Affirmative! and fair enough, it only flew on the drawing board.
(Cant blame a Luft46 Lover for trying though...

)

Hmm decisions, decisions...

I would like to jump in with an A-6 Intruder.

Post by **generalgrog** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 11:52 pm

I'll be doing a very famous bomber, built at the very same assembly plant where I currently work in Baltimore, Maryland. The Martin B-26 Marauder, called Flak-Bait. The cockpit of this plane is actually on display at the Air and Space Museum right down the street(about an hour away) in Washington D.C. I plan to stop by and take lots of pics for reference and will add them to my group build thread.

I purchased the kit off of ebay, as you can't get the Revell kit anywhere. It's in pretty bad shape, and raised panel lines, but I wanted a challenge.

Can't wait to start!!!

I will be build this kit an maybe this

Post by **Orbyn** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 3:06 am

I am going to build this. I believe it qualifies, I did an inbox review on it a couple of months ago but did not get a chance to start it.

Post by **patrickroos** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 8:49 am

Ok, have decided. Will enter with these two builds...

Sorry buddy this one wouldn't qualify for this GB as was designed as an attack aircraft not bomber.

Yeah a B57 is fine and a nice subject too

Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 2:46 pm

well plans have been changed for me
i was going to get my entry on a convention but i spotted some kits for this gb and for a future build aswell at a shop where i'm a regular visitor
so i'm going to get those kits because i like the subjects and the prizes that are beeing charged aren't bad
the kits i'm going for are:
1:72 he111 h-6 by italeri
1:72 junkers ju-88 by airfix
not sure wich i will enter maybe both if i have the time
and a 1:48 me262 b1 night fighter for the night fighter build in april
and maybe some other goodies who knows
but i'm looking forward to this as i haven't build a plane in a couplr of years now
should be fun (i hope)

Post by **profkb** » Tue Jan 21, 2014 3:41 pm

No problem nixing the A-6... Looks like I now have an opportunity to acquire another model! Haha!

I'll be doing the revell 1/32 heinkel H-6. (After building the extension to the house!)

Nice to see another one of Martins creations entering. There are a few B-57's at the Glen L Martin Museum next door to my workplace, let me know if you would like some close up pictures, and I will stop by.

Think I'm going to build the B-25J Mitchell that's been kicking around for a number off years I just hope all the pieces are there

Post by **Lee** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 10:47 am

I wasn't going to enter this GB as I thought I didn't have any bombers, but I've had this in my stash for years now and totally forgot about it until some one else mentioned they're doing a B-57.

I've built this kit as the Canberra PR.9 and for an old Airfix kit it went together like a dream. At 1/48 it's a big bird though

Looking forward to building it....

Old photo....lol

Hello

I definitely biuld one of them

I think I choose G4M1 Betty
Cheers

Post by **timmyw** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 11:58 am

I'll be building this one

Can't wait to get started. Unfortunately I am moving house very soon so it may have to wait till that's all done and dusted. For some reason the more things I try and pack the more my stuff seems to multiply and make it seem like my house exploded.

Edit: I am not looking forward to masking up that particular canopy (O)_o

Post by **DBMiller** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 3:41 pm

I've already posted this elsewhere (http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=207&t=4588) but here's mine! A ratty old kit I inherited from a friend's grandfather. I wasn't sure when I would ever build it. Now is my chance!

Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 4:14 pm

that liberator.looks cool and very well uuhhh vintage
would like to see such a classic come together
on the other hand i don't know how "classic" the kit for my entry will be
so good luck with all your entrys guys

Post by **ModelingMatt** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 5:34 pm

I'm going with the Airfix Dambusters Lanc. I'm sure there will be few more being done, it's a terrific kit.

Can i enter the 100 years of bombers GB with an BF 110? I'm not sure if it is a bomber or not

A no on this one as it was designed as a heavy fighter not a bomber.

Shame because I have one of these in the stash.

Post by **MikeyKb** » Wed Jan 22, 2014 6:35 pm

I do too, believe that I shall bow out of this one. I don't want to take on too much and I've still got a full bench.
Definitely in for the Steel Rain build though!

Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 2:34 pm

i could use some help
i posted i would either the italeri he111 or the airfix ju-88 but i also picked up a revell halifax
but now i don't know wich one i want to enter
the halifax look better in terms of quality and detail but is a lot bigger aswell and it has been a while since i build a plane
so if you have a suggestion one wich kit is best to start please let me know
because i just can't choose

I didn't even know there was an aircraft named Halifax. That's where I live.. hmmm, if I can track this down - I might have to change my mind on entering... 1/72? Is it a BIG 1/72?

Cheers

25 euros is about equal to $50 CAD - much appreciated Mark. Thanks for all the info.
My LHS doesn't carry it but I might resort to fleabay.

I found the Monogram 1/48 scale "visible" B17G in my stash yesterday morning. Debating weather or not to build it OOB or get additional true detail sets for it. Perfect time to start on it, this will be my 1st GB ever!!

https://www.youtube.com/user/bnealuk · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 7:31 am

Some fantastic entries guys

Post by **pedrofernandes** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 6:20 pm

Hi guys !!!!

Its been a while since I enter a Group Build... but I love bombers !!! What concerns me is the deadline ... since I can only start working in 5 of February...

but I will try my best and put all other projects aside!!!
And after reading the rules post I got really wound up !!! It's true the prizes are great ... and for that would like to thank the generosity of the sponsor Models R go !!
When I read that the most important thing is the posting and not the quality of the model I though I might have a change of winning something... since my models are really crappy !!
You all must be thinking "doesn't this guy shut up and tell us what is he building??" .... ok ok!!!

I'm going to enter this GB with the

B-58 Hustler 1/48th Monogram

I will try to do something different in the way I do the post ... like... something light and funny !!!

Stay tunned !!!
