Ron's Reconnaissance GB: Chat Thread

Me made a mistook. Its not a Scorpion, its a Sheridan.... that rules that out...

You got me all excited for a minuet Ian, but looking on line there is a 1/16 Scorpion kit out there from Spyker Workshop. a bit pricey though.

I've been looking at the smaller and much more affordable AFV club Scorpion as it happens

That is a really nice kit, and of course, so is the accompanying Scimitar. (If you find a Revell Scorpion, that’s exactly the same aside from the box, instructions and decal sheet, BTW.)

How so? Officially it was the M551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle.

I had confused myself with the animal antics GB's lol. You just go for it then Jakko

[Guest]

Me? You were the one who suggested the kit But if you’re willing to pay for a kit for me to build, I’ll certainly consider abandoning my M114 for this one

I hope this qualifies as it's been an on and off try I have lost the tail wheel gear so it's likely to be wheels up.

[Dave Ward]

Seeing Peters' post - I'll put this up............
I'll be obviously doing the PR version!

[Ian M]

Ah! I had just found one of those in the stash as well. I will find a different version than that is in the box. Or some thing else...Cant have this turn into a Mossie GB. lol

[Dave Ward]

Ha, I was going to do the MPM Spitfire PR XIX, but when I opened the box, not only had I started it - but I had also lost some bits!, So the first reserve, the Mossie was called up...........

Before I post my choice I have found out that I had started the kit not much so I just want the go ahead before I start.

As hardly anything has been done it's fine by me Peter.

Unless anyone objects that is, then I will be forced to write 'Sorry, No!'

It’s your GB Ron, so it’s your rules.

[spanner570]

It’s your GB Ron, so it’s your rules.

The rules of all G.B.'s state - No building until the start date. But I think Pete's is an exception, (and the only one) being an honest mistake, forgetfulness, call it what you will.....

I hope all participants are happy with my decision.

I seem to recall another GB where we had the same issue and it was, after a considerable discussion decided that if it had just a couple of parts started is ok. A loose figure was put on it but I cant recall what it was. Under 10%?

Personally I think it should be new and not started.
It could be an idea one day to have a"shelf queen" GB, where all the unfinished builds can be dug up and sorted.....Even I have a couple of those these days.

I am not saying No to Peters entry, just pointing out that others have been judged out.

[SimonT]

Hi Ron - I have way too many builds on the go so may as well add another to the pile

Have a couple of Miniart Dingos so will drag one out.....
