Was it that new model kit smell......PM

YES!!
We should bottle that scent and sell it at market. We could possibly might make a profit.

You guys are a "Hoot!" I'm like "Glacial Guy", I have to finish my Skyraider and have an F6F-3P I've promised to a Veteran next on the bench, but I promise to be watching and learning about group builds.
What a great Forum! Thanks for expanding the experience!

Build On!

This was yesterday on our airfield.

Welcome to the GB. Lot's of fun to be had I think. Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

I'm being delayed by shipping. My kit isn't scheduled to arrive until next week Wednesday. That's okay, I'll watch and steal ideas

 

[Down Time]

I think I have a Dauntless in the stash, if I do I'm jumping in.

Come on in!! The water's fine.

Come on in!! The water's fine.

Dive through withering fire, good drop, the water is fine for the enemy sailors and for the ships embrace.
Looking forward to get back into my main interest, WWII U.S. aircraft in 1/48.

I just built and posted my SBD Dauntless 3 don't know if you saw it?.

This will be the thread for the dive bomber group build. Any dive bomber is acceptable. The only rule is there are no rules.
No start date has been set yet so there's time to get kits if you want to join.

 

[BarleyBop]

don't know if you saw it?.

Yup... That's what I was talking about ...

Beautiful build.
Inspiration for the dive bomber Group Build taxiing to the runway!

.... and for those who missed it, a link to a fantastic build!

I think that means you win. Your prize is nothing, other than a WTG!

I did see it. Very nice build.
