Lee's Rocket/Missile GB, Oct - Dec 2024 Welcome and chat

[Andy T]

Thanks Andy. Might be too much for me

And me lol

Maybe I should have checked first :tears-of-joy:

309 according to the Revell box!

Not bad for a 1/72 lol

I think half of those might be tyres.... :tears-of-joy:

I find these giant Russian trucks incredibly attractive. However, I have a "zero tolerance for vinyl tracks and wheels" strategy (I've had far too many bad experiences with them!) and so it would be very, very expensive to build such trucks. The resin spare tires usually cost a lot more than the whole kit.

Long story short, I'm looking forward to admiring your build.

I've been browsing possible models for this, currenly i'm thinking of one of these but as we have a lot of time, I might find more
as I keep looking around for potential subjects to do. I am quite excited about this GB.

[Andy T]

I'm digging the first two. No one does an ugly truck like the Russians :tears-of-joy:

Hey Lee, Great idea for a GB and the time frame is perfect too. I have a kit I want to build, but it's not really a rocket or a missile. It's one of these,


It had a pulse jet motor and had to be launched by a catapult to achieve the speed needed get the pulse motor operating for flight. It was sub-sonic, with a speed around 450 MPH. It's your call and that's why I wanted ask first...

I'm hoping to find a Napoleonic Royal Artillery gunner with a Congreave Rocket system - will this comply?

You got that right but some how I’m attracted to them lol.

Maybe I should have checked first

Yeah but the temptation seems to always rules out. I’ve done it may times.

The resin spare tires usually cost a lot more than the whole kit.

I hate when that happens and you really want the Resin but you say to yourself are you crazy it’s more than the model price.

I'm looking forward to admiring your build.

Oh he’ll put a good spin on it for sure he never disappoints.

I am quite excited about this GB.

Dang Steve those look awesome! Don’t break the bank or get in trouble with the wife on my account Lol. I’m glad you are excited about this GB. I know it’s a wide target for Subjects but the bigger the target the more than likely you will hit it. Take your time picking your victim.

I'm digging the first two.

Me too Andy but the third one look interesting also.

It's your call

Your safe! I always thought these were kinda considered a “Rocket” I have something like that in mind too but launched from a German Aircraft. So I’m giving you a big fat YES. I thought the time frame was good too everyone will be done with the current GBs and if they not too exhaust they might join in and have something to do at the start of winter.

P.S. just done a quick research on it the V1 was a Cruise Missle so was the V-2 that’s the take away I got from Wikipedia. So go for it.

will this comply?

Sure will Steve. Very old lol and should be very interesting.

We love it when you talk dirty.....................

He does that from time to time doesn’t he.

I've still got the Rapier unit from the Firing Line which I never got round to doing for the Falklands build.Perhaps I could pull my finger out for this GB.
Jon.

[Lee Drennen]

Rapier unit

Jon it been a long time since I’ve seen you around of course come join us. I’ll add you to the list.

[Allen Dewire]

Thanks Lee and you can add my name to the list. I have wanted to build this kit, but not with all the the ramps on it. It almost a meter long and too big to display anywhere in my apartment...

[Lee Drennen]

can add my name to the list.

Yes I can just waiting to make sure you want me too. That’s a pretty a pretty good size model. I’m starting to lean more to the small scale also because I’m running low on space.
