keefr22 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Not too late at all Keef, of course you can join in. A Hurricane is of course entirely acceptable and splendiferous for the purpose of the GB and the Best of British display for SMW 2008.As the matter has been raised - and for the benefit of anybody thinking they may be too late - I'm happy for anybody to join the party at any time up to the close of the GB provided they can reasonably expect to complete a build and get it to Telford. Says he, who hasn't actually started anything himself as yet... peebeep Ta muchly peebeep! I shall start it with the Spit for the BofB group build...!!

Nev Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thinking on a bit more, I see both the ideas that I had originally (1/24 Spit and EE Lightning) are being done by others, I am tempted to do something a little different - using the Masterbox 1/35 Commandos set. I would have the Tamiya Centaur rolling past them, but I don't think the Cromwell qualifies as "best of British" So maybe just a little vignette?

AnonymousA667 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Really Luke, nothing Best of British in the stash?! Outrageous! Assuming something suitable could be found, what might tickle your fancy? Wingy thingy? Tanky tready thingy? Floaty thingy? peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Bill, you're late mate! Never mind, join in the fun and games, only four months to build something for the Best of British hallowed tables. Even I reckon I should be able to finish something before then.

chadders Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Is it to late for me to submit my intension of an Airfix Mk1 Spitfire in 1:48th? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Is it to late for me to submit my intension of an Airfix Mk1 Spitfire in 1:48th? Of course not! I was beginning to think I might have to do another one myself! Just as a reminder for those who have pledged builds, start your own threads up in the appropriate sub-forum, air, land etc. And although SMW 2008 may still seem a long way away it would be nice to see some more builds up and running.

Tim B Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Can I change my mind and do a 1/48 Airfix spitfire F22/24 instead of the meteor. I'm getting a bit bogged down and need a sanity build at the moment. Sorry to mess you about. and I have just realised I have never built a Spitfire!

Heraldcoupe Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm thinking about a Mosquito too, (see here) which is obviously British and brilliant, but in a fictitious scheme, from a brilliant British comic Would that be OK? As I suddenly found myself twiddling my thumbs instead of being at RIAT, I started building a Revell 1/72 Hurricane IIb. I've thrown in an Eduard Zoom set which was in the box, and I'll probably finish it as the Red Death's-Head bird from the Johnny Red stories. Would this be acceptable for the group build? Should go nicely with the Mosquito if Eastender goes ahead with that one, Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took some piccies as the airframe went together today, not enough though as the build went rather quicker than expected! I'll put up an in-progress thread tomorrow, I might even get some paint on by the end of this weekend, Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Signing in - I've decided what I'm going build for you entertainment. Hopefully no turkeys in there! All 1/72. Xtrakit Meteor F8, Airfix Meteor F3, and Chematic Whittle Pioneer. I'll open a thread for each. As you can tell, I've got a bit of a thing for Gloster aircraft - surrounded by their heritage, as I am in the Cotswolds. Also, I did this http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1331 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 More good stuff from theplasticsurgeon! I was going to do an Xtrakit Meteor, but I've been trumped. Never mind! How can I be vexed with such serious signs of intent in evidence? Three build threads! BTW is that a Marlin in your avatar? peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brews Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hopefully no turkeys in there!All 1/72. Airfix Meteor F3, and Chematic Whittle Pioneer. The FROG E28/41(?) Whittle Pioneer, which is the origin of the Chematic, I should think, is fairly challenging scale-wise, though it at least is unmistakably what it purports to be, in much the same way as the Airfix Defiant can't be mistaken for anything else. The subject choice is excellent, I should say. The Airfix Meteor can be bettered using FROG Meteor F4 fuselage. If you like, I might be able to provide this.

I've not really looked at the Pioneer parts yet - but am not expecting much. Next door neighbours gave me this as a FROG kit when I was about 8 - a lot of years ago! I've already done a Frog Meteor F4 - which is quite likely to be in the Meteor box at Telford. Along with this NF-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 BTW is that a Marlin in your avatar? peebeep It most certainly is! Great that you recognise it. I built one from 1986 - and drove it ontil 1993. My photos pre-date digital cameras etc, and all I have left is a scrap book - and load of memories.
