The One Man Red Aeroplane Group Build!

Postby Adam the Akrodude » Mon Sep 08, 2014 5:24 pm

I'm prone to biting off more than I can chew and this will be a classic example of this trait of mine. In a attempt to rev up my modelling mojo, I've thrown down the gauntlet and challenged myself to take on multiple builds at once. Is that a collective groan I here from the audience from those wiser than I who know this is doomed to fail?

Well, we need our mountains to climb and this is my self imposed modelling mountain - how else in the hell will I get through that mountain of models I've collected? :roll: I'm giving this group build a realistic 20 year life span - my body (if I live that long) will be too stuffed to model beyond that age - unless medical science can assist in this regard in the next few years to help failing eyesight, hands seizing up, etc, etc, etc.

The longest journey starts with the first step, so here it is folks!

1/48 Yak-52 for the A/CAM club display for Expo. Really shiteful kit it is too :evil:
1/48 F2G Super Corsair Racer
1/48 F-104 "Red Baron"
1/32 Zlin Z-126 Trener

I will add to this the 1/32 RB-51, as it has a lot of red down the track- only when I'm happy enough with my gloss red painting technique.

Feel free one and all to jump onto this red aeroplane build if you have any planned. Red aeroplanes go faster!

And being a 20 year GB I might even get my Super Corsair done as well. But I won't get too ahead of myself just yet LOL

What about a 737-800 in Virgin colours ? .............it's RED !!! Nearly finished also . :lol: :lol:

You just sneak in Knotty! The big advantage of you being on board is that this group build now has some chance of success with at least one completion! :D

Welcome Capt! And what a worthy entrant too! I have always thought all royal blue Spities look cool, but in red is awesome! Note to self - increase income 10 fold, purchase 1:1 airworthy Spitfire and paint it red!

Ah yes, well Ray there are a few A/CAM stickers around our house. Your "hearts and minds" program at Expo resulted in a few A/CAM stickers ending up on my kids clothes drawers in their rooms!
