Hi guys, I bought this in 2019, planning to build it for my father who was quite ill at the time, hoping it would cheer him up a bit. I only got as far as the cockpit before he sadly died. Since then I have not been able to bring myself to continue the build, but I guess this is a good reason. As this was his favourite aircraft and he liked the standard OG/DG/MSG scheme, that is the one I will do. Dave

Hi guys, This will be my second build of the GB (it would be easy to go bonkers with this theme), a wrap-around camo Hawk T1. The scheme was prevalent with all RAF strike aircraft in the 80's so to me this kit is ideal for the GB. The kit was a gift from a friend of mine who, being a Scotsman, was rather attracted to the roundel bars! Cheers, Dave

Hi guys, I will be building the old Heller kit as a Argentine example, using the Xtradecals Falklands set for the scheme. As with the Valiant (Ukraine GB), I will be starting this late due to the other builds I am trying to finish. Cheers, Dave

Hopefully a relatively quick one (for me anyway), but I couldn't let this go without completing a 602 machine. The Airfix kit is obviously not the best and I have a far better CMR example which I will build at a later date but it will hopefully be fine for the GB 🤞. Dave

The kit dates back to 1980 with a bit of a retool in 1988 (I think) to bring it up to date with the production aircraft. I can't see there have been any other major changes over the years and it still shows it's early roots. I am planning to do a Canadian machine as the first Hornet I saw in the air was from the RCAF at Church Fenton in the late 80's. Cheers, Dave

Hi guys, Since noone is building one of these and I really can't help myself I will join in with this if I may. I will be building it straight from the box and will probably do the Davis Monthan scheme. Dave

Hi guys, I couldn't miss this GB as I was 9 when all this kicked off and still have some strong memories of all the news updates etc. I am in with the Airfix reboxing of the Special Hobby kit, which apparently is not the easiest of builds so I will probably regret it! I also have the Xtradecals Falklands sheet so I may use those instead of the kit scheme. Cheers Dave

Hi guys, I have had this one a long time so it is probably about time I built it. It is obviously a SU-15TM, Pioneer (and PM) getting the designator wrong in accordance with mistakes made in NATO reporting. I have no idea how accurate the kit is and it looks pretty crude but it is a Flagon which is good enough for me. I have a set of Begemot decals which should improve things a little. Dave

Hi guys, After my year went to pot totally, I could pick from 15+ unfinished builds, but I am going to go with this beautiful old girl. If I get chance to throw another one into the ring I will, but at the very least I am determined to finish this one! Dave
