I'm up and ready to go see you in a few hours.

Scott

I too have never seen a 'live' Lightning not from what I can remember. So i think I shall be attending this event hope to see you there.

Scott

Thanks for sharing Rod

Scott

That box art is awesome. Got to love the Scooter. Shall be watching with interest.

Scott

You can do it Alan. I believe in you

Scott

That looks mighty impressive. I've never heard of using the 'hairspray' method. Might do some research into it.

The completed corsair looks stunning aswell well done.

Scott

That's a nice little collection you have there. I'd sure be proud of that

Ditto! I wouldn't have a clue what different marks to put together to make another. Will be watching with interest and trying to learn something.

Scott

Looks a nice build well done.

Scott

Humbrol all the way.

Take it you didn't see the Sabre do a brake test up and down the runway half an hour later then?

No. Unfortunately I had to get myself and my lorry back to London, so I left at about 1440.
Scott

I'm sitting outside in the lay-by and it seems to me like there is not much happening.

3 point turn ?

Would this count? http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/italeri-172-lockheed-martin-f-35a-lightning-ii/ & would it be a good kit? Might just get it! I had a look on a well known internet encyclopaedia and, according to them the F-35 will not be operational with the USN till 2019, it will als...

Just a mini update. Cockpit assembled and painted. Just waiting for paint to dry , then bang seats will be going in.

Agreed will be watching with interest

Scott

Well I wouldn't go that far but I will see what I can conjure up

Scott

Looks good to me. I had a few issues with decals from the BBD 1/24 mustang I built for a previous GB. Maybe Decals don't like going onto Mustangs

Scott

First thing. Whoever 'pinned' this post, thank you very much. I didn't get around to asking and someone did it! It's great to see you guys raring to start this one and great to have globemaster50 with us for the first time . It's good to have Logster back in the fold too . So, let melting commence ...

And a thank you to TomTwin for hosting

Scott

Having had this one in the stash since it was released a couple of years ago. What better time to get it on the go. I'm thinking I will finish it in the markings of No. 899 NAS aboard HMS Eagle.



Scott

Nice choice Alan. I think one was built and reviewed in the last edition of S.A.M. Shall be watching with interest.

Scott

Well seeing as I cannot find decals or a conversion kit for the Tigercat I guess I will play it safe and build the Sea Vixen. Also to keep Alan from losing his sanity.

Scott

Well I'm hoping my selection for this GB will be allowed. A F7 Tigercat. It did initially serve with the USN on carriers but was found to be unsuitable, so was transferred to the Marines. The trouble I'm having is I can only find decals for Marines aircraft. Any input would be appreciated. Scott Di...
