PHIL B Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Nice one Mish I'm in with a 1/48 TIII - probably RR299 in its final 1996 scheme with D-Day stripes. My uncle started his De Havilland apprencticeship working on Mossies and retired from BAe at Hatfield in the early 1980s. I have fond memories of Hatfield's family days where I saw RR299 flying. I'll also never forget seeing it in formation with Comet G-ACSS although I think that was at Old Warden. How about a DH group build in future?

Still making my mind up about which one to do, but i've an idea or two... Edited January 1, 2012 by rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Revell 1:48 B Mk IV - no idea what markings, will work that out later. Wheels up to avoid the problems with the undercarriage on that kit, just need to find 2 pilot figures that will fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Mish I have a long term plan to do modify a 1/32 Revell into an Oboe BIX with some Paragon resin which I could bring forward to fit in as all I really need is the willpower and incentive if thats ok? Can't guarantee it will get finished or even be any good but the spirit is willing!! JohnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Sounds good to me, I've made this GB a bit longer as there is a few people threatening to build 1:24 Airfix Mosquitoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Mish, thanks for letting me co-host (I'm wondering what i've let myself in for! ) just a quick question I have a 24th Mossie which I started just cockpit and engines, with basic paint on them, could I use that one? or should I start one of my new untouched 24th Mossies? Regards Rob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Rob, you can use your stated Mosquito as it's under the normally accepted 25% rule, anyway you are the co-host That way you could send me one of the 1:24 mosquitoes to build and enter with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm in. But I recall showing interest when the idea was first suggested so look forward to this. Note to self:....Must resist getting involved in so many GBs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would be up for this. Probably go with a Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito with the Paragon Designs Highball Conversion. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'll have a go with a 1/72 Mk XVIII Tsetse Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) When: 26th May 2012 to 28th October 2012Hosts: Wellzy and Rob Hi All would any body have any objections to have this Group Build being move to the end of 2012 ,As the USAAF ETO 1942-1945 Commemorative G/B is running from July to October and I have pormised to co-host with Obi-jiff Kenobi,and would not be able to work on the two and give all to both.

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Well - the thought of digging out one of my Revell Mozzies is very appealing... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 More time to prepare and research ? I'm ok with that as I have just discovered how much I thought I knew from the several books that I have and how little I actually know ! A "situation normal" with me for most things sadly !!

rob Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've no objections, I suppose it gives me even more time to find more resin to pack into this monster, and to buy some white metal undercarriage legs to take the weight.
