John Masters Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks Col...I think I found the WiP earlier and also a kit review on Modelling Madness that laid out some basics about really fixing it up right...not too much to do, really. Shorten the landing gear, some other small bits. Augmentations more than corrections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury, Demon, Hart, Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest, Sea Fury, Sea Hawk, Hunter, Harrier, Hawk, Trident, Nimrod to name a few. You mention Hawker and H.S. 'designed' and I am wondering whether an Avro designed but Hawker Siddeley built 748 Andover would fit in with this theme? I have a Welsh Models that I could do.

In the end I guess it depends on how deep you need to get into adding detail to satisfy yourself but certainly a cheaper option than hunting down the Revell kit at the moment! 30 minutes ago, bootneck said: You mention Hawker and H.S.

Mike An HS 748 Andover fits in fine and will make for a lovely subject Mike As well as Hawker and HS designs anything which was marketed by or identified as a HS product during is life counts. So the Buccaneer and Nimrod are also eligible for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I received an email this morning from a certain well known retailer. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse, so they have one less Sea Fury in stock and I have my subject for this GB. Naturally, it will be green or silver with nary a hint of EDSG or Sky!! Andy Never knowingly straightforward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've decided on the HS.125 for my entry. I'll probably save my other two options for later GBs: Buccaneer (60s NATO) and AV8-A (Brits Abroad). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'm in the original list at no.24 I'll pop in when the Matchbox GB is done I'm thinking of a Buccaneer; a certain one, about 3 minutes before it crashed into an office in Belfast in 1972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Way above Tempest MkII was mentioned. With the MDC conversion still around are there any accurate drawings available as the rear fuselage will need 'amendment' (not my preferred word). With all that resin avoiding errors and getting the detail right would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Dermot If you are building a Spanish AV-8 then definitely yes as they were built in the UK, not sure if all the USMC AV-8's were built in America or even if this matters to @Col., it's his GB so he has the deciding vote. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
