Welcome to the second GB of 2017 the subject being items produced by and in the USA rules and eligability are as follows: All models have to be made or boxed by Revell. All models have to be unstarted. A picture of the unstarted kit must be included in the build thread prior to starting the build. the picture should also show it's Revell heritage if it is not readily evident on the box. Whilst aftermarket parts and decals are permitted, the finished article must be at least 51% the original kit. The model must be of something that actually exist, this is not a what if GB. A new build thread should be created for each subject you wish to tackle, please display your completed builds in the Gallery thread that is pinned in this section. Any vehicle of any genre can be built, the limiting criteria is that it must have been PRODUCED in the U.S.A.. Items operated outside the USA but produced by them are permitted. (eg the M3 Grant, the N.A. P-51 etc) However items produced outside the USA but operated by them are not (eg Spitfire, Beaufighter, Mosquito). If a vehicle was produced by both the USA and under liscence by another country (eg F-104G Starfighter) than only those produced by the USA would be permitted and the builder would need to supply evidence of the eligibility of the subject matter. The G.B will run from 00:00 hours on 1st May 2017 until 24:00 31st August 2017. Times are UK BST. The scope of the GB is deliberately broad in order to be more inclusive, we hope you can join in, build something that interests you and enjoy the GB. Please create your own build thread(s) by starting a suitably titled topic within this GB section. |

I have a goodly supply of Blue Boxes in my reserve supply of unbuilt model kits; however when I checked out my spread sheet lists I have only 6 models which fit this GB. I thought I would have had more. I've also just ordered [well, yesterday actually] another kit suitable for this |

I am definitely going to join in on this one. I'm finishing up my last build for the Blue Box group build, working on the Jo-Han P-47 in my workbench thread and starting an a new group build on the Airfix board. A bounty of plastic! I have a good idea of what I am going to build and it definitively fits the Stars and Bars theme! Nigel is going to like it. I have to dig in the stash and see if I can locate it. Johnnyb |

With a poor excuse that I bought it for 'completion' I have purchased another kit which will sit nicely alongside the Tomcat. I'll not say what it is yet until it arrives. I will say its Revell, built in the U.S. and belongs to 'Dem Bones'  Steve |

I'll get a WIP started once the kit arrives as I'm a day or two away from finishing the Trumpeter Tomcat. Steve |
