2015 BIG Airfix Groupie Groupbuild...

Post by Manny1943 »

As I await the extensive (and expensive) set of PE and masks for my brand-new, new-tool, 1/72nd Dornier 17 Z from Airfix I was wondering how I could make my build blog any more exciting than it already will be...I mean it's hard, because how do you make a Manny WIP any more exciting? Well the truth is you can't... :FM:

BUTT then it dawned on me: I can let others bask in the glory of my WIP by including it in a GB and inviting others to join in...yes, I know, it's brilliant. :dancing:

Anyway, I'm opening up the GB to ANY Airfix kit and I'm putting out me feelers to see who all else wants on this freakin magical mystery blitzkrieg...??? :tank:

And counting... :writing:

1) Manny - 1/72 Dornier 17 Z with all the trimmings
2) Fermis - ?
3) VANCE - 1/72 Swift
4) JimD (Prof of Death) - 1/24 Typhoon
5) Portman - 1/72 new tool Douglas A-4B Skyhawk
6) CallSignOwl - 1/72 Bf110C w/ shark's mouth
7) Ksaarni - Fokker F27 Friendship 1/72 in Finnish Air Force colours
8) BlackSheep214 - 1/72 C-47
9) mostrich - ?
10) Borg - 1/72 Whirlwind
11) Lyle - 1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb

=======================================================================

Any Airfix kit, any scale...

Starts: March 15, 2015

Sounds interesting. Does Airfix make kits?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
