PhantomBigStu Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Had both a hurri STGB and Hunter earlier in the year, but as we have a dehavellend GB in 2017 why not a hawker one in 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I always like the "maufacturers GB" as they give the rare types a chance :-) Count me in please. René 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Only if it'll be after the new Airfix Sea Fury is released. Although I imagine that with the state of GBs at the moment, this one may not get a slot until after Airfix release their new tool 1/72nd(!) Sea Fury (that's a joke, in case no-one gets it. Airfix haven't announced a new 72th Sea Fury (yet)) Put me down. At worst, I have Hurricanes (in 2 scales), Harriers, a single Hunter, a Hobbycraft Sea Fury (with resin bits) and probably others that I can't recall right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Certainly lots of possibilities and Hawker designed and manufactured some great looking aircraft. So yes please count me in. Cheers Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

René Hawkers certainly had a few oddities in amongst the classics of their back catalogue.

I think, now that you have mentioned it, the forthcoming Airfix Sea Fury will be a popular subject for this one Sounds as if we have a range of similar subjects in our stashes, Hunters and Harriers make up a surprising builk of my one, so I'm sure we'll have no shortage of options 7 hours ago, Basilisk said: Certainly lots of possibilities and Hawker designed and manufactured some great looking aircraft.

Perhaps all the talk of GBs for the forthcoming year has subconsciously inspired me to think of even more ideas. They certainly are popular events and a great oportunity for us to get together enjoying an otherwise solitary hobby in virtual company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have a barely started Fury from the Lesser Built AF GB that I'd finish here if allowed. Otherwise I'd better poke Mark at Miliverse about his 48th Singapore Hunter sheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any photos of how far you got with it? Although if Miliverse are doing decals for a Singapore AF Hunter that does sound rather tasty as well.

PhantomBigStu Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Grey area on the hawk, the early production ones and the prototypes are eligible may be better to rule it out entirely, as whrere to draw the line is tricky, a 1978 BAe Hawk T1 is no different from to a 1977 HS Hawk T1, but things start changing once the export hawks come about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
