The Rules

I know what I want to do, I just need the markings for a certain high-energy soft drink maker....

How well do 1/24 car decals match up with a 1/72 jet aircraft?

IME they are too large.  Are 1/43 decals available?

Superscale do some for a T-28 in 1/48, might work for a larger aircraft in 1/72.  The Red Bull decals will be around 5.5cm long

1/32 slot car decals might work too.

Tricky - would need a really big aircraft. 1:43 is much better, or check for slot car decal sheets - they come in 1:32 and there's a wide range available. I used such a sheet for my "Jägermeister" He 100 air racer (a rather small aircraft), and that worked fine.

I suppose in some parts of the world we are off ?

Revell did an interesting re-issue with new parts for their 1/48 B-25 with Red Bull decals. They turn up quite cheaply on Ebay sometimes.

LOL I was a day ahead of myself last night ( well, the wee hours this am anyway ) and thought it was June 1st. Guess I should live out this rainy Sunday before I go there though  Maybe as I'm a part of the commonwealth I can start mine when the Queen does 

I'm still thinking a civy B-17. I'm thinking clipped wings and maybe an engine swap, aero survey or somat. Maybe a sprayer or fire fighter...we'll see !

I take it there will be an in progress sub-board where we can all announce our glorious builds?  I'm all set.

That's where I'm going too. I have an old Memphis Belle Revell kit and a Rareplanes B-17D Vacform fuselage conversion. Good thing about the fuselage vacform is no glazing or gun ports to fill in.

Not sure what to do airliner or cargo.

It's been Monday 1st here for 40min, suppose that means I can make a start?

Crack on.

[Captain Canada]

I dug mine from the stash and it turns out it's the Revell Pro-model whatnot....I don't have the heart to chop it all up so on to plan B. Or C, or D.....

I think if you just go to the root directory of the GB (What if > Forum > GROUP BUILDS > The Civilinise/Militarise it GB) and hit "New Topic" you can start a thread for your build (this is how the last one worked). It will bottom post under "Rules" thread and when the GB is done we'll loft up the poll thread ... I think

Yep, just open a new topic as normal.

I think we need a big green:


GO!

Bench cleaned (yes really!), kits destashed, plumbing fittings purchased and all ready to go.
And then it was time to come inside and make the tea.
