Revell 1/72 🇩🇪 Starfighter - COMPLETED
RJ-WobblyHands replied to theplasticsurgeon's topic in NATO 75th Anniversary GB
Very nice 😁 ! a completed build before I have started ( though I am on vacation / working away). -
Haha my 1/48 modern jet collection expands the area of interest to include anything I see I would like to build at some point- not many military bases in the modern jet age in Essex anymore. A Harrier from RAF Wittering, F-15E from Lakenheath , A-10 From Bentwaters , something from Alconbury all are not too far from Essex , too many bases have closed over the years . 1/72 WW2 collection is still USAF based in Essex - next build in that collection will be the Eduard Wine Women & Song B-26 Kit as part of the 80th D-Day GB

eek only a week or 3 weeks for me (not starting until end April due to work travel commitments) to decide - easy build, hard build, easy build, hard build hmmm choices ... Keep leaning towards the Eduard Limited Edition Harrier GR7/9 to test my patience and building skills otherwise it will be one of the new Airfix , Tamiya , SWS , Meng offerings !!

11 days until the GB start , I am away on business until 23rd April (my GB Start date) .... I still have no idea what i am going to build : S-2B Bucc (a Pink One) , Harrier GR 9, F-15E out of Lakenheath, F-35B (617 Sqdn) , Shackleton, Tamiya A-10A , F4-E too many choices !!!! or buy a MIG-21Bis with Croatian markings (my country code)

add me to the list please . I need the fill to fill my office / modelling room up with more big beasties

During the war there were 17 Squadrons were posted to Bradwell Bay at some point , but I think every squadron that flew from an East Anglian base will have landed at least one aircraft there during WW2 , even though it was not a designated an Emergency Landing Ground , it was often the 1st friendly runway pilots saw , Lancasters and B-17's were seen there with various states of damage !! I forgot the damaged JU-88 that landed there instead of in France ! ( If I had thought about that I could have made that my WW2 1/72nd scale model theme .. )

Its 2024 - my return after 18 months of RL fun will be a Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito Mk II Nightfighter -- I need to find if I can make all black look interesting 157 Squadron spent a few months at RAF Bradwell Bay so the kit fits with my - 'In Essex theme' for WW2 aircraft.

This sounds fun !!! .... not for me though I see it says 'for experienced modelers' on the box , and I also like the face , perhaps it was auditioning for Pixar Films Planes ?

Add me to the list please - my 1st kit was either an airfix spitfire or hurricane around 1975 - I vividly remember the lesson from my dad about not trying to catch the scapel / modelling knife if I dropped it - health and safey !! . Obviously I did catch it one time and nearly 50 years later I can still see the scar ! I would have been a blitzbuild with more glue and paint on me than the model lol!!
