Chuck, I have no idea where 60% of this year has gone to. In my mind it’s still around May.

The ‘77 Trans Am would be great, and I love the idea of an F14/Zero dio. Looking forward to you sharing ideas and seeing what you settle on.

Thanks, Chuck.

I know it sucks, but the things is I shall combine two scenes that are not meant for each other... It's an exothermic type o'thing and will lose potency if I tell about it now. Think about it as the pleasure in anticipation. Also I'll be so far outside of my comfort zone with this one, that I don't want to jinks it... Sorry but you'll have to wait for your Christmas young man...;)

Dirty Harry ! That has to be one of my favorite movies... and an iconic scene.

"Bein' this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it could blow your head clean off... You have to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky ? Well ... do ya punk ?" Clint Eastwood

I had a few ideas from a color movie called "Dive Bomber". Here's a few stills to possibly "influence" someone. A classic from the "Yellow Wings" era.

Someone can pick up the ball and run with it... 🙂

Aleks - I’m pretty sure that’s the first time the word ‘exothermic’ has found its way onto a modeling site. I’ll wait, but it’s not making me happy. And in terms of getting out of your comfort zone, that’s where the ‘magic’ happens.

Thanks for the teaser, Aleks!

The ideas this GB can generate are endless and more importantly, fun. Lots of fun.

David LS,
Now that is a very cool photo ! King Kong AND a Curtiss Helldiver... 🙂 Good one.

I had the thinking cap on, since I temporarily sat aside my aluminum hat, and came up with a few more ideas for someone to hopefully run with...

So here goes !

We had the movie "Pearl Harbor" ... This Zero was supposedly used in the filming. Wrong colors and all.

This full sized fiberglass P-40 mock up was also used in the movie. Ironically, it was also used in the "Tora ! Tora! Tora!" movie. It's supposedly the only movie prop P-40 example that survived. The rest were blown up during filming.

How about a plane from the "Battle of Britain" ? Here's an example that is still wearing the same colors from the movie. I believe this one was also used in the recent "Dunkirk" movie.

a Heinkel anyone ? Also from the BoB movie...

Remember the movie "Catch-22" ? Here's a B-25 from the movie...

What about "Midway" ? Here's a picture of the cast standing next to a Wildcat...

Last but not least, (and probably my favorite from this group) "The Great Waldo Pepper"...

This Group Build has a LOT of great options for ideas to build...

How about another 69 Dodge Charger... This time the one from the movie "Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry" ?

It's a shame what they did to this car at the end of the movie... it gets much worse than how it looks in this picture...

How about a Steve McQueen "Bullitt" fastback Mustang

or a "Bad Guys" black 68 Charger R/T ?

Here's a picture that Mopar guys will love... and Ford guys will not be so happy about. Notice the Charger is in front ...

This movie has the best car chase scenes ever...
