dmthamade Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Wondering what the next subject will be, would like to gather up anything needed. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe66 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 How about NASA and or Experimental subjects ? I think it could be quite interesting. Joe nichenson, cib2265 and Menelaos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What about a WWI GB to celebrate the centenary of the US entering WWI or a Pacific GB to celebrate the 75 anniversary of the Battle of Midway? David Big Texan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Nothing has been mentioned as far as I am aware, I spose we could take some suggestions. Just keep in mind kit availability in 1/32 when making a suggestion. Not picking on you Joe, but experimental aircraft might be hard to do as a GB in 1/32 as there aren't a lot of choices. Granted, more than there was 10 years ago, but it's still limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 We still never had one of the "continental" topics- "Africa" or "Sub-Saharan Africa" and "Central+Latin America". Plenty of flying stuff there. Stringbags, props, jets. Also a good way to build a lot of Italeries Mirage IIIE. Do you know how many countries at both continents operated the Mirage III/5? If we do not cut out the WW2 in North Africa we even could have German, Italian, British, US and French stuff. Latin America also offers the opportunityto add a bunch of british Harriers from Falklands war. Central America also allows to drop in some Migs from Cuba. Just saying...

DeanKB Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Perhaps the impatient amongst our ranks can have their own little, individual group build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards - dutik I like this idea - I ran an 'African Air Forces' GB over on ARC a few years ago which was well supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe66 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Fair enough Brad...it would be limited from a "kit" based perspective.....maybe I will do a scratchbuilt FMA I.Ae. 37 and cover both bases.... hehehe. An experimental prototype built in Argentina ! Joe Edited April 18, 2017 by Joe66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimb Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 How about a WW1 themed gb? That would be stupendous Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Texan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Ha Ha! How about a Group Build on just one plane and one manufacture? I'm thinking, building the Revell 1/32 P-51B, OOB. NO PE, NO Resin, NO Scratch building, just aftermarket decals allowed. Built straight OOB! Some may view this as torture, but it sure would be interesting! LOL! I only think of this due to all the "lamentations" on not having a decent P-51B! Who knows, maybe this sacrificial build to the plastic gods may merit some manufacture to take pitty on us builders and make us a great P-51B! LOL!

R Palimaka Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Ooh...building the Revell P-51B out of the box!!? That's too high a price to pay for a new kit lol! Edited April 18, 2017 by R Palimaka Rick Griewski and Big Texan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) How about the 70th anniversary of the formation of the USAF? I know some of you like to do unusual markings and aircraft, but stars and bars would be different for some anyway. Maybe the 1947 onwards would be too limiting? There was a 90th anniversary of the RAF group build but I guess that covered a longer period and more varied aircraft. Just a thought.

Nic C.D. Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 How about building a diorama with a 1/32 aircraft? Can be simple: a jet with all kinds of equipment around it, or a WW2 aircraft with the crew contemplating about their mission while looking at some bullet holes in the rear fuselage. We've had a lot of good ideas from the "aircraft transportation" topic too. Or a factory scene, maintenance, landing mishap, a WW1 aircraft in a tree, a Navy jet landing, ... Could be good to try out some new techniques too! Maybe? Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
