FortyEighter Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hoping to join in with an F-RSIN Trident 3 (BEA) but that would mean three GBs at the same time early next year!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 So is this just things that were called Hawker or Hawker Siddeley, or would anything from the Hawker Siddeley group (which brings in some Avro and DH products to name just two)? Had a read of the thread but couldn't see if this question has been asked - apologies if I've missed it. Either way I'm in. Could be a Hurricane, Tempest, Nimrod, Hunter, 1st generation Harrier... plenty of time to decide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a Hurricane, Tempest, Nimrod, Hunter, 1st generation Harrier... plenty of time to decide. A good question and one that needs clarification before the GB begins in a couple of months. We did touch on it way back in post 29 but at that time it was only a proposal to expand the scope of the origonal GB idea to include Hawker Siddeley. So, anything that was built, marketed, or refered to during its service life as a Hawker or Hawker Siddeley product is good. This means all of your list is eligible since the Nimrod was refered to as a H.S. product as was the Buccaneer and Harrier. I did also consider including Sopwith designs due to the manner in which Tom Sopwith was one of the founders of Hawker but feel this may be stretching the scope of our GB a little too far as well as bring in strong arguments for the inclusion of A.V. Roe and Armstrong Whitworth products. Thus, to reiterate, anything which was refered to as a Hawker or Hawker Siddeley is eligible for this GB. Edited December 3, 2017 by Col.

Arniec Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hmmm a Buccaneer. That sounds interesting. Might do one from airfix in 1/48. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Greetings Chaps and Chapess's If approved I think I'd like to finish my Hawker Fury from HERE in this GB. If not I'll have to have a rethink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks Col I felt quite bad at not finishing it first time. At the moment things have settled down for the first time in years and may even stay that way for a while....he said hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tends to get in the way sometimes but thankfully our hobby can be a welcome oasis of calm and relaxation when we get the time to it. At least you'll have something of a head-start with this one when the GB kicks off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre_days Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 At this point, I'm planning to build an 801 Sqn Sea Hurricane I during Operation Pedestal in 1:72 (new-tool Airfix with AlleyCat conversion and DP Casper decals). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hi Col, I'd like to know if the following builds are eligible for the GB. They've been started already but not much as been done. 1.Airfix Harrier GR.3 In this one I've just taken the main parts (fuselage, wings, cockpit) off the sprues, cleaned and test fitted them. 2. Academy Typhoon Mk. Ib I've took the main parts (fuselage, wings) off the sprues and test fitted them. I've also painted the resin exhausts I'll be using in this build. 3. Academy Tempest Mk. V In this one all parts are still in the sprues. I've just painted the resin exhausts I'll be using in the build. Thanks for your attention.

I'll start my participation in the GB with the Harrier. If time allows, I'll add the Typhoon and Tempest and build them in parallel.
