LSP_Kevin Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is simple rigging i.e.. EZ line or fishing line okay? Yep! While it might seem that a commercial product like EZ Line might be outside the GB parameters, you can't really treat it the same way as aftermarket resin or PE sets. It's more like a raw material, much like sheet styrene and the like. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 When can we start the topic? Right now! Yes guys, I just flicked the switch, so start firing up those build threads! I'm really pleased with the positive vibe that has grown around this Group Build, so I hope to see a lot of build threads, and even better, a lot of finished models!

xmh53wrench Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well folks here is the kick-off. Very glad to be a part of this GB not only as a participant, but as my maiden assignment as one of the moderators. I have high hopes for this GB, as it is right up my building style and I have accumulated more Mustangs and Spitfires to add to my collection. At present I have 7 kits in my build cue and I am sure I can accomplish them all and maybe a few more given the 12 month timeframe. My Cue.... 1/24 Airfix P-51D-5NA Mustang NMF, 334th FS, Lt Robert Dickmeyer "Jan" 44-13956 circ. July 1944 1/24 Airfix Spitfire MKI 1/32 Revell P-51D Chuck Lyford "Bardahl Special" Reno Air Racer N2869D circ. 1965 1/32 Revell P-51D-25-NA Mustang NMF, 334th FS, Lt. M. Arthur "Blondie" 44-73304 (Don Allen was Crew Chief and painted nose art) or possibly something else with a bit more O.D, on it 1/32 Revell Mustang II RAF colours, markings and Malcolm Hood (2) 1/32 Revell Spitfire MKI Good luck guys, HAPPY A-OOB BUILDING!!!!

seiran01 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 delighted to be able to join - my queue starts with the Pitts S2C already posted. After that, possibly a Wingnut Wings kit or a Fisher resin kit (September Fury looking likely!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmann352 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wrench, Can you do one of the 1/24 Airfix kits please? Thinking about getting one or two, but would like to know if they're worth it. Would like another choice from 1/24. I like the Trumpeter that I am working on, but I got that in a trade -- they are usually out of budget range. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Dave Dave, I hope to do both of my Airfix 1/24 kits. Both the P-51D (that I have already posted up as "Jan") and my Spitfire MKI that I am leaning towards an early camo, and hoping to find photographic evidence to show an underside scheme of Sky with 1 Night wing. My Galloping Ghost was an Airfix kit as well, I have liked them thus far, although they dont just "fall" together, and need a bit of finessing, and the older kit's plastic was very very brittle.

LSP_Kevin Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Can I have the 'Star of Africa' moved to the GB? Done! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyforgothispassword Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) G'Day folks, I'm planning on joining in, I'm thinking of doing a Trumpy P-47 Bubbletop but I have a couple of questions; 1. Is it heavy enough to need metal gear? 2. Is it legal to use replacement l/g or will I be forced to lift my fingernails with bamboo slivers if I use them? Shane p.s. Yes, I pushed the big green button. Edited July 4, 2012 by Smokeyforgothispassword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I would say, as to your questions.......... G'Day folks, I'm planning on joining in, I'm thinking of doing a Trumpy P-47 Bubbletop but I have a couple of questions; 1. Is it heavy enough to need metal gear? No. Its a great kit, and the OOB gear work really great. Besides the SAC option is just a copy of the OOB gear in soft metal, with less crisp details; dont bother. (not sure if G-Factor make an option here) 2. Is it legal to use replacement l/g or will I be forced to lift my fingernails with bamboo slivers if I use them? Not sure it it quite goes to the fingernail lifting zone, but its definitely in that AM / not allowed catagory. Dont worry, you wont need them anyway, the Has bubble top is a great kit OOB IMHO. Shane p.s. Yes, I pushed the big green button. Edited July 4, 2012 by Out2gtcha Smokeyforgothispassword 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyforgothispassword Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks Brian, I'd only seen the SAC option and was wary, happy to know that the kit gear is up to the job..No off to ebay to get the kit:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So I have a couple of kits to choose from for joining this GB but have a quick question which could narrow it down further. Scratch building and kit bashing have been given the all clear but what about substitution? I have a kit I'd like to enter but it comes with a coil of stiff wire to build some long straight piping on the external tanks. I would like to sub in some straight rod instead so that it's at least straight. Would that be allowed? If not, I'll go with one of my other options.
