I haven't done any Group Builds here so I'm guessing this is a good one to start with. I have a Chinese made aircraft (can't remember name or designation right now) that I plan on doing in Pakistani markings. Aside form that, I also have a Recon F-4 Phantom in West German markings to do as well. I might even start both of these for this Group Build.
Give me a few weeks to get the bench cleared of some current projects; then I can start this.

Would it make you feel better to go and tase somebody? Surely, there is a perp that needs it. Find something simple and jump in. That was the advice to me - get started on something.
The people I want to take out my frustration on all work with me... although there are a few locals in my patrol area whose demise would put a smile on my face...
On my ride this morning I was going thru kits in my stash that would work. I have plenty that qualify. The trick will be to keep it simple and not give in to the over riding urge that I always get to improve things.
Put me down to be decided and I will figure something out...

Squadron codes are ok, theyre the smaller type, im wondering about the serial number more than anything. I remember seeing a list ages ago that had the heights and widths of all the letter and number markings used on spitfires, but i cant for the life of me remember where i saw it.
The serial numbers/letters were a standard size and format. But they were also somewhat confusing- for counter intelligence purposes I suppose. The letter combo prefixes jumped around, and the numbers while sequential, seemed to never start somewhere easy like 001 and end at a logical point before switching. If you are looking for decals, try Xtradecals, they make a comprehensive set of those in most scales.
Are you looking for a specific aircraft & unit?
N3277 Mk.1 Spitfire AZ-H Of 234 Sqn captured in Cherbourg France. Ive found a decal set on hannants, then i got a little click happy. Havent clicked purchase yet, but im cart is up to $120

Hi Lyle,
If I do an un-started Tamiya 1/72 P-47D 'Razorback' in RAF SEAC markings, can I start the build off with an Airfix 1/72 P-40B Tomahawk mk.I in 112 sqn Markings. The P-40 is slightly started (wings glued, fuselage glued, but not wings to fuse as I'm still working on the cockpit)? That way I can kick a build off next week rather than November.
Cheers
Stuart

You most certainly can. My idea of a group build isn't a contest (can only be so far along, etc.)...Never understood that. The more the merrier!

Thanks, Lucas! So far so good. Jump in anytime and we could use a few more builds.

Absolutely! Buxton was a city featured a lot on "North Woods Law" last night.
