kpc7676 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hi guys. Would the Academy Polikarpov I-16 in 1/48 scale be accepted for this GB? Just curious, as I may give it a crack, depending on progress of other GB kits on the go at the moment..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 First flight 1933...you're in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 This could turn out to be one of my favourite GB's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Agreed Andy, there's certainly going to be a wide range of different aircraft types represented by the look of it. I've been doing quite a bit of research on my de Havilland Dominie build but the book that I really need by John F Hamlin is so scarce that even my local library haven't been able to find a copy for me! (though there's one for £80.00 on Amazon!) Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fu_manchu Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hi Can i join in with this one please? I have a Classic Airframes HE-51 in the stash, i could do with this as a kick to start it. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine coast Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 as promised.... one or two of these ........or it might be something else ...I have a few more boxes to look in yet !!! Regards Trevor ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wow Trevor...those Shrikes would be great but what tricky builds they are, especially the A-12! I keep trying to get a Flivver myself of eBay but keep missing out. Look forward to whatever you choose. In the same vein... My '30's civil roster! And finally some other possibilities!

sunshine coast Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 This GB is going to be fun ........ Must admit the A12 is top of the pile followed by the Flivver .......I am sure I have seen a photo somewhere of the Fliver and Spirit of St Louis next to each other at an airfield ??? or am I going nuts ..! Regards Trevor ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wow! What a lot of colourful aircraft. Ian - Yes, a He51 would be fine. Someone does a He51 floatplane in 1/48 don't they, think it's Special Hobby, must get that one one day. Trevor - Got to love that Flivver. Not familiar with Williams kits, they look great. Hoping someone will do a Geebee racer and a Travel Air Mystery Ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fu_manchu Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Cheers, I think there is a float version, which does look nice. But seeing as this will be my first ever bi-plane (not counting an Airfix Roland I built when I was about 12), the two wings will be complex enough!

Vulcanicity Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Doug, Thanks for the clarification (in the original thread about scribing). As my Heller Gladiator is permissible, I'll be building it for this GB as a nice silver machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine coast Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I notice that there are no "rules" posted yet..............?? not that too many are needed........ Regards Trevor .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabbi Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi, is it ok that I join this GB with a civil Dragon Rapide ? ps. I like that there is no poll, all are winners !

Doug Rogers Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yes that's fine pabbi, welcome to the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Interesting GB to start with - some eclectic choices coming out here! Having said that, the time period the GB covers is generous and there are tons of worthy candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Not long to go now guys, the boat sails at midnight on Saturday. I've not been around much TBH, partly by design because I know you all had passion and enthusiasm for the GB so didn't need prodding and poking by me, but also partly because life got in the way as usual, so apologies for that. Been some great builds, the gallery looks like my idea of a dream museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Indeed, the gambit of subjects got rather nicely covered in this one. We've had airliners, a float plane, plenty of biplanes, a collection of military aircraft (some well known, others not so much), an influential engine, civilian aviation subjects and even a trio of subjects that hinted at who major aviation players might be when hostilities once again broke out. The large number of builds that have been finished is also pretty nice. It has certainly given me some inspiration for subjects I might try next time.
