modelling minion Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 An excellent selection, the TA-4S would certainly be unusual but the other are all good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Seems like a good excuse to dust off one or more of my Tamiya 1/100s, so count me in please Craig. Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never built one myself but they look like they build into nice models, a Chinese Il-28 (Harbin H-5) would be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've got a 1/48th resin Su-15 already to go for this one, it'll be in the unusual camouflaged scheme rather than the normal bare metal finish. I really do hope this GB gets there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do hope this GB gets there! An excellent choice Rich, the Su-15 is a beast of an aircraft and looks great in the camouflage scheme, not that it looks bead in the aluminium paint either. I really hope it gets through too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asianairarms Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi Craig, Further to my post suggesting people have a look at our website http://www.asianairarms.com for further ideas, just want to say that we're now extending the region to include the former Soviet Asian republics, namely: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, plus the Transcaucasian air arms of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia plus the semi/non-official air arms of Abkhazia, Chechnya and South Ossetia. There must be something there to tickle people's fancies! These new pages can be found at https://www.asianairarms.com/sov-asia-trnscacsus-search. However, please bear in mind that this extension is in an early stage at present and I'd very much welcome input from those who know better than me! Corrections, a/c photos, model photos, accounts of air actions, additions and suggestions very much welcome! Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an honour for us to be your first GB @celt! GB's are a great place to get inspired and to learn and to have some fun too, there are some really knowledgeable and helpful people so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. And very well done for being number 30 on the list and getting us over the threshold for the GB vote! Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have reached the target of 30 people signed up this GB will be added to a list of others which have also reached their target and then there will be a vote (which lasts for a couple of weeks (I think) as to which GB's get chosen for next years program. As there are always more GB's than there are slots available only those with the largest number of votes go through so it is really important that when voting time comes that you remember to cast your votes otherwise a GB that you want to participate in will not get through. Hopefully that makes some sense to you! Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celt Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I will have to visit my LMS,as my linited stash has nothing suitable.My usual modelling fare is not 80s or Asia in nature.Still they say a change is as good as a rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change certainly is good for the modelling mojo. I wouldn't go out and buy anything for the GB yet just in case we do not make it in the vote, not that that will happen! What is your usual modelling fare? 1980's Asia was a heady mix of equipment from virtually WWII vintage to the most modern stuff available so you might find you have something after all, let me know what you have got and I will try and find something suitable from it.

The vote will be held in the GB section of Britmodeller where there will be a list of GB's that have met the required number of members signing up for them from which you can vote for the ones you would like to see go through (I cannot remember how many you can vote for off the top of my head). The vote takes place in November, if you would like I can message you to let you know when it starts. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I certainly hope this goes through - I have the perfect model for this: the boxart depicts the "1989 Special Mark" 301stSQ 5thAW JASDF! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Come on guys, we could really do with some (a lot!) of votes. Lots of scope in this GB for interesting aircraft, armour, ships and figures so something for everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
