AnonymousFO98 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi Blimp gobsmackinliplickinsalivadroolinheartthumpin stash you got there Patrick- thanks for that- at my usual speed of build a weekend is a bit optimistic but am slowly converting to acrylics and as there are so few colours might actually be able to get this done within the timeframe might even start thinking of a second build in Republican colours in case i can finish quickly!

blimp Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 actually guys , i was toying wiyh the idea of thinning some of my stash . maybe i could donate to the gb if thats ok . i sadly realise i'll hardly dent the other stuff you can help yourselves , i'd rather they were built than gather any more dust .

AnonymousA667 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 maybe i could donate to the gb if thats ok What a stunningly generous offer. Any takers before I dive in?! Seriously blimp, are you sure you want to do this? I'm sure folks would exchange folding wedge for kits, or donations to a favoured charity even? peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyverns4 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 no money . if people can pm their 1st and 2nd choice sort of thing i'll try and share 'em out evenly . Hi Bimp, If you are totally, utterly and completely shre about this I would love to build the French aircraft under the Academy Fiesler Storch, in SCW markings of course! This is an incredibly generous and kind offer, thank you! I'd be happy to pop a cehque into the post for a charity of your choice, swap kits or buy pints...

blimp Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 great builds patrick , i love the '59 with the cannon ! and yes , the azur nid-72 kit is far superior , the original heller/smer can be reworked into the later metal winged type , but it is extra work . i picked it up cheaply a few years ago (hannants second hand shelf!) the azur kit made it redundant . - anyone for a chato/he51 dogfight combo ? i think i have at least three of each !

Seamus Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 This is not really my main area of interest, but just had a little rummage through the stash and found an Airfix Henschel Hs 123. God knows how long it's been there, but this GB seems as good a reason as any to build it, so I'm in with that. Should also give me some much needed practice in the art of modelling biplanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B (Sc) Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 OK, I'm in for a Spanish Civil War GB. Not sure of the rules. (Haven't done this before) Are we limited to a particular scale? Is it one person per type? If so, has anyone bagged the I-16 as a machine to build ? I wasn't sure reading quickly through. John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Seamus, John B, you are both duly added to the list. Good on yer for joining up! So.. anyone got a banner sorted yet? Nope, if there are any arty types who fancy having a go feel free. Once we get sub-forums set up we can start a banner thread for storing them. OK, I'm in for a Spanish Civil War GB. Not sure of the rules. (Haven't done this before) Are we limited to a particular scale? Is it one person per type? Who needs rules?! The only rules I would set is that your model must be a type that was a participant in the Spanish Civil War. Any scale, any kit, definitely not one person per type but with lots of lovely colour schemes to choose from let's try and avoid duplicates of those. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Frampton Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi Guy's I'd Like to join this one, still involved in the fall out from my move, but should be ready for this. I love this era, have plenty in the stash. I would love to take some of blimp's stuff off him (what a collection), but my scale is generally 1/48th. Eyesight deteriorating Will try to come up with something exotic. by the way, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda to all at the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
