Fellers,
group builds are supposed to be fun! - There aren't any prizes for making a model, nor penalties for not!, so don't agonise about what & if you make one. Life is stressful enough, without self-inflicted woes!!

Made up my mind on this and its going to be a ( hopefully) easy build . Its the Eduard Yak 3 , bought at the Cosford show a good few years back for the princely sum of £2 . No decals , etch, instructions or resin and the spinner was missing . AM decals , a spinner from the spares box and downloaded instructions from Eduards website and all is good . I’ll start a proper thread tomorrow.

Sorry guys but I’m going have to pull out of the GB I have way too many things going on at this time and I want to focus more on the Model Railroad Layout’s

Squish over a bit guys, room for a little un arriving late?
Tupolev SB-2 "Katyuska" Bomber.
Picked up one of these on FleaBay and just waiting on arrival to get going!

Normally pics of the sprues, decals & instructions, to kick it off, them posts, with pictures of your progress - you can put in comments about the model, history, reason for building................

I just want to check that this is a suitable victim for this GB.

It seems to make all the right noises but since my knowledge is woefully lacking I wanted to be sure before cracking open a build thread.

It's next on my build list anyway so thought I may as well join in if it fits the criteria.

Thanks

Andy.....that is in many ways arguably the most appropriate kit you could have chosen! I would like to do one of these one day!!

When I get a minute, I'll update the list!

Oh and welcome aboard!


Andrew

[Andy T]

lol, that's a relief. Thanks Andrew.

I've opened the kit, had a look at the canopy, and instantly ordered my first aftermarket masking kit :smiling5:

Oh do I know that feeling!!

I know they can be expensive when compared to the price of cheaper kits but they are worth their weight in gold IMHO. I have done DIY masks but they are so painful....especially for planes with a lot of glass!

Personally I try to by in bulk to save on P&P......as you can see below......and this is just a small selection of the masks I have......oh and I'm also about to press go and an order for another eight....

That's a lot of masks! :flushed:

I don't think I've had that many aircraft in total over the 4 or 5 years I've been modelling lol.

I ordered a big montex set which includes masks for some of the markings, since I dislike Tamiya decals so much.

Opening up a store?!?!

No way...... Just have far too many wingy things in stash...... And that of course excludes all the profipack kits I have that come with masks!
