In the Navy GB question

[ILuvMigs]

I understand the GB is for navy aircraft only, but do USMC aircraft count as well, if used on navy vessels? Examples, AV-8A/b, OV-10,A-4, E/A-6, F-4, F-18. Thanks.

I would say yes personally, any other opinions on this? Feel free to share

Since the SiG is limited to aircraft, my opinion is yes. As long as the airplane in question is shown to have been deployed in a joint effort by a navy carrier. The more builds we get to see the better.

As the USMC is subject to the Department of the Navy when it comes to acquisitions etc, troops and equipment deploy on ships and their history, traditions, nature and language are naval, I'd think it fits.

In terms of planes they also have Navy Build Numbers.

I'd say yes, marines are part of the navy, simple.

Sorry all, This is my first GB and want to get started. So rereading the GB rule it's a "Build and share any Naval Aircraft that was produced and in service from any country, conflict or non-conflict." Doesn't have to be deployed on ship. Getting lots of support, so is there an administrator or judge to rule on this. USMC aircraft counting as Navy aircraft?

Ok ill say yes its allowed

[ILuvMigs]

YES!

[chief5437]

So what are you going to build?

[ILuvMigs]

Academy's 1/72 OV-10A or D from VMO-2 either in green, grey and black or two tone brown Desert Storm. Fujimi, A-6E from VA-36 Desert Storm or EA-6A from VMAQ-2 and if I can fit it in AV-8A from VMA-231 in Winter camo. If I can get enough references I may even whip up an RCN F2H-3 Banshee from Hobby Craft.

Hi mate, welcome to the forum this thread is from an old gb. There is a 'if it floats' gb going on at the moment. It's in the gb/sig section if you fancy joining in!

Indeed, and better yet, your cutter just needs to float and you're in!
