fly boy · 03-04-2009, 10:37 AM

i'll get what i can for what ever but till september i wouldn't have much money for moddles

Heinz · 03-04-2009, 08:24 PM

Seems ok to me guys. I have a few kits that will cover most if not all of those catergories. Will clean my stockpile out a bit, which isn't a bad thing really

Lucky13 · 03-05-2009, 04:11 AM

True indeed mate, will give you some space to fill with new ones...!

A4K · 03-11-2009, 06:28 PM

Have the Pacific and Mediterannean theatre build details been finalized yet? what are the subjects exactly?

lesofprimus · 03-11-2009, 07:11 PM

The Pacific has been finalized, anything that flew in the Pacific from Pearl Harbor till The Big Bangs.....

The Med hasnt been finalized as far as I know, but would assume its any aircraft from any country that flew in the Med and North African Campaigns....

Im planning on doing an Hs129B and the B-24 Strawberry Bitch for the N. African gimmick...

Airframes · 03-11-2009, 10:48 PM

Yep Dan. The general opinion seems to be that anything that flew in the Pacific/ SE Asia campaigns during that time frame is OK, and the same for the Med/North Africa, including Sicily, Malta etc.

Lucky13 · 03-12-2009, 03:43 AM

That's the OOB....

I'm gonna try and sniff out another '88C-6 to do with my Beaufighter from No. 603 Squadron (I think it was that one) City of Edinburg. Both for the Med hullabaloo.....anti-shipping me think and MAYBE a Spit!

Pacific GB, already have Swede Vejtasa's Dauntless', only look to get a F4F-4 Wildcat for Mr Leonard's father and Midway...."Black 13".

Airframes · 03-12-2009, 10:57 AM

Sounds good Jan. I'll be doing the Avenger for the PTO build, FAA from Victorious, late '44. The MTO will hopefully be the 1/32nd scale Beaufighter. If funds permit, on top of other commitments, I might throw in another one for each build, not sure what though, as I need to do some for the diorama guide, and a long-term plan to have another go at converting two 1/32nd scale kits into a Spit XIV.

rochie · 03-12-2009, 11:13 AM

i've got an F4U 1-D from tamiya, doing one of the schemes from the box VMF 112 maybe, hoping to get an A6M zeke(zero) for the PTO build !

i'll worry about the MTO build later but might do a 109 F-4 trop and look at a P-40 or spitfire

GROUP BUILD – Proposed 2009 – 2010 Schedule

2009
Jan FEB MAR APR MAY Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
----1---------------------- Defence of the Reich

[/B]

Hey, I am new to the "Group Build". So I have some questions.

Does the entry have to have the Red/Blue tail bands for Defence of the Reich?

Are there any limits on scale?

Does the kit have to be completely unstarted to be used? Or can a partially done kit be used?

Are build in progress photos required?

Is a build in progress thread required?

Can two kits be entered?

In the USAF and Army Guard, we say that the only dumb question is the one you DON'T ask!

Thank You! I look forward to your answers.

Bill G.

lesofprimus · 03-12-2009, 04:29 PM

1. No they do not, but they need to have served in the protection of the Reich... My entry is a D-9 from JV44 which protected 262's during takeoff and landing...

2. NO

3. Partial can be used under certain circumstances... Explain ur model in question and the Judges will answer up...

4. Yes

5. Yes

6. Yes

Look forward to seeing what u have in mind Bill....

The two I would like to do are 1/48 Tamiya Me-262A-1a - Red 13 Oberstleutnant Heinz Bar III./EJG2, Lechfeld, March 1945. I know "Lucky" will know that one! I like that one because my SEN Teams radio call sign in Iraq was Kilo One Three. The kit has just been drooled and dreamed about. It is completely unbuilt. The many parts are still in plastic.

The other is 1/72 scale Bf-109G-14/U2 by Smer. Blue 11 Ofw. Franz Meindl, Pilot in JG11. The box says it is for Operation Bodenplatte. This kit is started. I have the fuselage together less horizontal stabilizers. The wing is together. No exteriot painting is done. I still have much work to do to get the wing and fuselage to fit together correctly!

I wait the Judges Rulings from on High.

lesofprimus · 03-12-2009, 05:19 PM

I would say since ur gonna do two builds that it should be OK to enter the partial build, especially since this first Build is over in the beginning of May.....

Bill G. · 03-12-2009, 05:55 PM

Thank you for the quick reply, lesofprimus!

I guess I had better get started! Now to take some pictures!
