Voted for all three and I have plans for builds in two at the moment, should be no problem to come up with something else for the third Group Build.

Reengine - yes, yes, finally, yes.  Need to get the model.   :wub:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Re-engine it. I have a Monogram 1/48th F-80 that could get the Skyfox treatment! Euro 1 paint scheme armed with Mavericks or South Vietnam markings with rocket pods.

Re-engined and the 60s GB have my attention  ;D ..considering what I really wanted wasn't picked annoyed me quite a bit but thinking of the re-engined GB got me quite excited..so so many options there 🙂.
The 60s Gb will be armoured for damn sure..plenty of tanks in the 60s and I've got a few to play with 🙃
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

You can still build it.  Just not for a GB.

And why not..there a crap load of armoured vehicles built during the 60s and a lot of them are still in service to this day ..or did ya kinda forget that the Vietnam War was going on ? .

With the right backstory anything can be made to fit any GB theme (Kits first law pushed to the extreme).

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

That's absolutely true

Actually it's Kit's Second Law, his First Law states that "Any aircraft can be improved by fitting shorter wings, and/or a reduced fuselage", or something like that. ;)

NOTHING like that, the exact opposite in fact  ;D
