Hi there.
I'm not Tom but after looking at my kits on hand I think I'd like to get in on this too. I guess I'm going to have to buy a 2010 -2011 calendar so I can keep track of what builds end when. I am *SO* happy that Shawn got me to join this forum. I feel reinvigorated to finish some of those long ago started models of mine. Some of these proposed group builds sound really interesting and I think I'll get involved in some of them too.
Do I need to pick my Vietnam War subject now or can I make my final decision later?
Vietnam Era vehicles I have on hand include the Italeri M-110 Thunderbolt 203mm SPG, the Tamiya M-48A3 Patton,the Tamiya M-577 Command Post Vehicle, The Tamiya M-113 Fire Support Vehicle and a couple of Academy ex-Tamiya M-151A1 Mutts.
Thanks and cheers from Peter

Peter you have until you start building to decide what to build. At which point you need to take a picture of a newspaper dateline and the unbuilt kit to make sure you are starting within the timeframe established. Doesn't have to be a newspaper could be a screen shot of your computer with the date and time on it, just something that would include the date.

Hey there General!
Which M-110 kit do you have? Is it a1/35 scale Italeri M-110 A1 or is it the 1/35 scale Italeri M-110 A2 with the muzzle brake? I have one of each. If you need ammo for it AFV Club makes a really nice set of 155mm/203mm Ammo with some brass shells as well as the styrene shells and decals for shell markings.
Cheers from Peter

Hi there.
Because I got another 1/32 scale Revell Huey UH-1D Gunship kit I will be resurrecting an idea I had for a Vietnam Era diorama. This is an old idea of mine that was put on hold until I repaired my 1/32 scale Revell Huey UH-1D Slick. I was thinking that this would be a nice diorama for this group build since nothing for my planned diorama was ever done *EXCEPT* the Huey Slick. Could I build the new 1/32 scale Revell Huey Gunship kit for this group build but use the troop seats I salvaged from my busted Huey Slick? Or would that be a violation of the rules?

Yes they are a scarce bird now aren't they? I was really lucky at the hobby show Saturday (May 29) because I got the Huey Gunship kit for a whopping $5.00 becaue it is missing one half of the main rotor blade. I just happen to have the blades, from my crashed Huey Slick, that I can still use.
