discussion What to build next....

[Guest]

I'm coming to the end of a couple of builds and I've been staring at my stash and various instruction sheets all afternoon, so from a shortlist of 5 candidates, I'm going to let my buddies here decide what they want to see... if they want to, that is...

Revell Canadair CL-13 Sabre 1/48

Academy FlakPanzer IV Wirbelwind 1/35

Hasegawa F6F-3 Hellcat "CAT MOUTH" 1/48

Italeri Fw-190 D "Langnasen Dora" 1/48

Hobbyboss M4A3 Sherman 1/48

Of course if I suddenly get a rush of inspiration I will overrule :tongueout2:

Hey Stuard,I am a little bias to the CL-13b as it was used be the SAAF, but I will post you a pic of a SAAF Sabre that would make a rather unusual subject, not bare metal but cammo in green and "yellowish"

No presure ! ;-)

Hell No man!

Now I need to go and get one aswell!

I might get the F-86f30 to go in SAAF korea collours with the F-51(group build between us maybe?)

Thanx for getting me into troubel STUARD!!! :-D

I went Hellcat and was surprised to see that I was not alone. If you think doing a single colour scheme is easy I can assure you gettting the blue to look suitably well maintained yet subtely weathered is not that straight forward.....ask me how I know!!!

Someone did post a nice F6F here not so long ago,sorry I don't remember who.

Cheers

Had to go with the Hellcat to as I am doing a simultaneous Hellcat and Seahawk build..... Having said that, the Sabre would be nice.

Interesting camo there Theuns - I have a Mirage III being done in SAAF markings, however I may succumb to doing another i have German and US markings in the box for this one!

Just under 3 hours remain - what will this Sunday evening have in store for me.... stay tuned folks!

I've completed the italeri FW190 it is a nice kit and goes together well, but i like the Flak panzer.

Can I change my mind? The SAAF Sabre looks very cool,even if it is a jet.

Haha I was surprised to see the Flakpanzer take 2 late votes, I guess noone likes Shermans lol - HELLCAT IT IS!!

Photos on a seperate thread - keep a look out!

Thank you very much everyone for your input, it's interesting to see how the population split their vote!!
