Ventora3300 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Sounds like a great idea long overdue - I am in, thanks. I originally only did three Frog kits that I can remember and still to do one this second time around. Plenty have been 'collected' since so I will ponder on which to dig out...

Hi Yes you are correct, details from Scalemates below https://www.scalemates.com/kits/161541-encore-models-1009-bristol-beaufort-ii Can we pencil this one in instead, or put you down for both ! cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have mentions of Blenheims the Beaufighters in your signature, surely you need a Beaufort to complete them ? Just a thought cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I was asking for that! That would be Airfix anyway - although if I wanted to start building car models, that might be what I’d go for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really great choices, I will try to put a list together when we get started. Yes please note, positive vibes on the 2019 vote even at this stage ! Of all the Frog / Novo / Revell et al kits so we can replicate the Matchbox GB which has achieved an amazing variety of builds for the existing catalogue cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Me too please Pat. Only a couple remaining in my stash at the moment (most have been built ) - Spirit of St.Louis or S.6B. Cheers Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Count me in Pat. Maybe a FW Ta-152 if no one else is building one. Or an F-4. Don't mind really! Cheers Dermot Edited February 1, 2018 by Dermo245 picking a kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Has anyone offered the Hotspur yet? I have a bagged Novo one that I ought to do, before I lose any bits from it and no props other undercarriage Wells etc to worry about. Blackbird Models did some decals for the Hotspur, Master and Magister and so will be using some of those I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Martin The Hotspur will be a very welcome addition, especially after they beat Man Utd the other night (COYS) yes ok I get it ..... Seriously, great idea and thanks for the tip on the decals. I have Novo versions of these kits all of which would appear to need replacement decals, so I will look out for them. Edit, found them http://www.blackbirdmodels.co.uk/raf-non-combat-types-pt1-72-1108-p.asp cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Count me in Pat.. after all the fun that the soon to end Matchbox GB has produced and the highly anticipated Classic Airfix GB later this year - I’d be mad to miss out on this one. I won’t commit to any particular project just yet, however I still remember not buying a Frog Oxford when I was about 10, and then after a 2nd re-think went back to buy it - but it was gone!!! This GB might rectify a 37 year old mistake. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Count me in. Not sure what to build just yet but more than one subject is a definite. Would the FROG Penguin range fit the criteria? I have a few of those in need of full restoration that would make for an interesting rebuild read. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tony You are very welcome and the FROG Penguin range definitely is included as that's where it all started. Ive never seen one in the flesh so seeing one or more being restored would be brilliant. I'll check with Enzo about the 25% started rule but you definitely have my vote cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remains of both versions of the Penguin Blackburn Shark, wheeled and Floatplane. The models are both incomplete and need a few bits and pieces scratch built or copied from the later FROG kit, or even the original plan. There's also a fair bit of warping of the primitive plastic to sort out along with trying to salvage what I can of the original markings. The models will be taken back to component parts and rebuilt from there. The thought of it terrifyies me but a GB is just the boot up the jacksie needed to get me going here.

Hi Tony Thanks for the photo, I think I have a spare Shark, not sure it has decals but will look, pm me your address and it's yours. I'll check with Enzo but seeing these restored to their former glory would be terrific but I also fear no small undertaking cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixII Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Pat, if your still taking vict.......er, volunteers! I'm in. Know I've got a NOVO FD.2 (original FROG versions go for silly money) and IF I've still got it, may even have a go at the Rufe. As an aside, when their built, if any are in Coastal Command colours, bring 'em to Telford, they can happily sit on the Coastal SIG stand.
