  1. I’m in. I have a hornet (de havilland not McDonnell Douglas) that’s perfect to go with this build. Would be an ideal follow on to my ww2 mosquito (once work, kids and the wife give me time to get to it in the ww2 twins GB)…
  2. Priming success! Quick shot of the plastic before I get started:
  3. High velocity into the bin. My attempt to salvage and strip the enamel primer resulted in the kit plastic melting and warping. I think I made the potion too potent!
  4. Due to an unfortunate primer incident The aircraft will now be built using the Tamiya p-51D 1/72 kit as the base model. Luckily I have one in The stash. Just annoyed at myself for ruining a kit with primer applied on too hot or humid a summer morning… bugger.
  5. Placeholder for my build which will be a 1/72 P-51D built as Mustang IVa CV- <> KH677 of 3 sqn RAAF in 1945.
  6. Research reading and building. The best parts of the hobby! I’m sure yours will turn out great😊
  7. Count me in. I have a few heller kits in the stash that I could do.
  8. Yes please. Sign me up! Many eligible kits in the Stash. Maybe Airfix will see this GB and give us the new tool 1/72 Manchester in 2025 we (ok I) want…
  9. Great choice! Looking forward to your build and seeing your Ventura in an Aussie Squadron’s markings.
  10. Following. Love a beaufighter and interested to see how the weathering comes out.
  11. I’m convinced. Given my next GB isn’t until March (I can do this he says)Placeholder created. I’ll play it safe with a Baltimore (I have 2-3 lurking in the stash) just need to identify a suitable aircraft.
  12. I’m convinced. Place holder for Special Hobby Baltimore 1/72 to be built as a 13 Sqn RAF, 454 Sqn or 69 Sqn aircraft (research and serial codes to be tied up to confirm aircraft to be built)
  13. I’m trying to contain myself having already committed to a mosquito, with a week until I’m home and able to begin, I’ve been inspired by the other aircraft and builds appearing and I’m tempted to (over) commit and dig out something else (Beaufort, Maryland or Baltimore) from the stash to see if I can get two builds completed within the dates of the GB. There’s also a Bf 110 I’ve been thinking of (with some RAF roundels if it’s permitted)…
  14. Love the look of the Maryland and a great choice for the colour scheme!
  15. I have two in the stash will be interested to see how your build goes as I’m looking for an excuse to build one or both of mine!
  16. Looking forward to this build. One of my favourite aircraft and will look forward to seeing yours.
  17. Placeholder for the first of my builds for this Groupbuild. A 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito VI.
  18. Please count me in I’d like to build something suitably jet powered and British .
  19. Look amazing Bob. Like @modelling minion keen to know if you’ve made any progress or see any updates you might have!
  20. Looks great so far. I’ve been humming and ahhing about 1/144 kits but seeing the main parts of your build go together so quickly is inspiring!
  21. Just wanted to say thanks for a most enjoyable Groupbuild. It has been a lot of fun adding an (elderly now) Hasegawa Hurricane IID to the finished side of the 2023 hobby ledger. Good luck to those still building I’ll be watching the builds and gallery with interest!
  22. 1/72 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane IID HV663 ‘U’ 6 Squadron, RAF, 1943 Base model 1/72 Hasegawa Hurricane IID ‘fox hunter’ detail bits from Pavla Hurricane update set (Tropical filter and Cannons) seat with harness and wheels pilfered from Fly models 1/72 Hurricane kit.
