SPA Modeler

Okay, I'm in with a few possibilities. I keep running into aircraft that I'd never built before in my scale or any other. It looks like my Air Forces will be dramatically increasing next year.

ATTENTION ALL CHERRYPOPPERS

I choose the P-39 Series.
Vintage 1/48 kit.

Situation- There are multiple members here who have never built a kit of a particular mainstream aircraft type or from certain mainstream aviation nations in any scale.

Mission- Build an aircraft kit, in any scale, and correct that shortfall

Execution- Beginning at 0001 Hrs Zulu 01Nov2021 or soon thereafter, begin construction of a type of unstarted scale plastic model aircraft kit that you have not built before. Ever. Finish to your own satisfaction within your own timeframe. Construct another or more if you feel so inclined.

Command & Signal- I will ramrod this thru, no need for any chain of command… All communication signals will be conducted via the SPAM forum

Service and Support- You’re on your own sons. Finance is by whatever your situation and the kindness of others allow. The internet is a superb reference source for those questions that may arise. Support your local hobby shop if you’re still fortunate enough to have one. If not, support your favorite online retailers. Dial 911 for any unfortunate workbench injuries…

Does it have to be a aircraft? I got several ship kits that have been staring at me for a few years.

Yes, this GB is for aircraft. I think next year I’ll run a GB for all other subject types.

Well, it looks like I've screwed up in this GB twice and I haven't even started a kit yet!

I do know beyond a doubt I have never built an Avro Arrow and it is definitely in the airplane category so the 1/48 Hobbycraft kit will be my entry!

Oh very nice! You have a true rare one off there John! One of aviation’s great “ could have been’s “ like the TSR-2 or Valkyrie. That kit fetches a pretty penny nowdays

I also have the original kit, I'll have to compare them and see what the difference is with the new tool.

I’m looking forward to seeing this project of your John. The Arrow was an incredible aircraft.

Can't wait for that. I saw the nose section at the Canadian AF Museum its a biggin
