Ragtag

What would that involve Keith?

Looking forward to seeing this one come together, I have a similar build in mind in 1/72 if the Cool Cats and Furious Felines GB makes it through the Bunfight

With a little fettling the 3D-printed parts seem like they'll do the job: Then the bedspring racks themselves were fashioned from styrene rod. I'll be waiting on adding the bomb carriers until most of the paint/decals are done:

Time is starting to look rather tight on this one. Entirely my own fault, I keep getting distracted by the Hurricane STGB. This is the current state of play: Quite pleased with it so far - there are definitely things I'd change for the next build but for a first crack at a vac-form I'm satisfied with how it's coming together.

That gives me a fighting chance at getting 3 of my 4 over the line

With Scouts stuff to do on 3 of those weekends (we're fundraising to take our scouts to Iceland) not great! I'll get 2 of the 4 finished, maybe 3 if I'm lucky

Oh dear... do I build a Sea King, an ASR Defiant, an air ambulance? All of the above? Count me in!

Not sure I have enough votes left for the bunfight, but if this one makes it through I'll certainly join in.

I missed this one completely until I stumbled across it in the gallery - love the build concept and very nicely executed too!

I haven't forgotten this one! Fellow britmodeller @marvinneko very kindly provided some assistance with a solution to the exposed engine face that will turn out far better than anything I could scratchbuild. I'm currently waiting for a friend to help with the 3D printing - hopefully I can get this one over the finish line before the deadline.

Not too much to report on this one - I keep getting distracted by the Hurricane STGB. I did however get the wings attached (quite a bit of filler still needed on those). Next up is cutting a slot to fit the horizontal stabilisers in place (gulp), then fitting the tail.

I've been very remiss in posting updates on this build, so best get caught up! The sprue shot - it's a relatively simple kit (I think this shot may actually be of the Sabre boxing given the black resin parts, but the contents are the same and I can't find the sprue shot of the actual AZ kit). First order of business was to get rid of those prominent ribs on the fuselage: I also disliked the 'shaped' wheel-well. I was going to fashion a new one out of plasticard the same way I did on my Heller-Arma hybrid build, but I had a resin replacement in the stash and decided to give it a try. This turned out to be a mistake as it required lots of sanding to fit between the upper and lower wings due to the thickness of the kit's plastic: It looks decent enough once fettled into place. Note the armoured radiator. The tropical air intake came from an Arma kit - while it needed a little filler it was a more convincing shape. The wing roots required quite a bit of work (still in progress in this shot) - or perhaps I've just become spoiled by the fit of the Arma Hurricanes. I also replaced the exhausts with some spare Arma parts of a more convincing shape. From here, it was hairy stick time. This is a very rough shot of me sanding down between coats. I'm currently working on the yellow leading edges so current state is a little further along than this, but not by much. The Vickers cannons are from the Airfix 1970s boxing -the overall fit and shape of the fairing is the same as the AZ parts but the barrels on the Airfix parts were noticeably finer.

Cracking on with this one. I was a little worried about getting the dihedral in the wings but it turned out to be relatively easy: The temptation to glue these assemblies together is strong, but apparently covering each of the sub-assemblies in tissue prior to gluing together is the way to go:

Calling this one done. Didn't realise until uploading the photos that it clearly needs a dust before going into the cabinet... I'm quite pleased with how the two-seat cockpit turned out.

Not sure what with yet, but I'll join in on this one. Probably either card or 3D-print. I do enjoy a Scalescenes kit so may well join @Enzo the Magnificent in that.
