EricP Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hi gents, is it still ok to enter this GB? I saw that the "Future GB" thread is closed. I'd like to do an RAAF Roulettes Macchi, from the Italeri boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Dear all Time is counting down rapidly. The GB runs from 2nd June 2012 to 2nd Sept 2012. Antony Robinson has kindly offered to co-host with me, so any questions, just drop one of us a PM, or use this thread. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the colourful models taking shape. We would still welcome any new entries! Less than a week to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 This looks colourful! I have just concieved a plan to build various 'Then & Now' display team models, and lo and behold there is a GB starting up! Please count me in with: 1) Frecce Tricolori F-86 (a 'then' to my already built 'now') 2) Turkish 'White Swans' F-86 (The F-5 'now' might follow, but I don't normally build that quickly!) cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just wondering are Display Teams (as opposed to Aerobatic Teams) allowed in this one? Was thinking of a Royal Navy Lynx from the Black Cats Team. If not, no worries and can pick something else. Cheers, Dermot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 If the same rules apply that was talked about before the GB got here it was: Military and cilvilian teams (and support aircraft) in addition to solos and what-ifs, as long as they are in special markings.

Paul J Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wanted to show photos of my entry but can't because Photobucket is playing up! Anyway I'm entering the Academy F-86 and its going to be finished as a Sky Lancers one of 1956 to complete the pair from the Leading Edge decal set.

Paul J Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Good news! PB works OK from my home lappy! Must be something to do with my work PC maybe?? Anyway here is a piccy of one of my planned builds: It'll be one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I really like the team's livery over the standard camouflage - really unusual. I look forward to your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Four days until smoke on! Dust those kits down and clear that workbench for an extravaganza of colour and variety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry to ask a dumb question but do special scheme aircraft count as solo display aircraft? I've got a few special scheme German Tonkas to build... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a few special scheme German Tonkas to build... Hi Thanks for the question. Antony and I have discussed this and agree that this GB is for Aerobatic/Demo team and solo aircraft and their specially-marked support aircraft, not those with special schemes that do not perform public displays. Some of those Tornado special schemes are great though! We hope you've got another model that you would like to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 That's a shame! Im trying to build from the stash, and I don't have any Aerobatic team kits! I'll still keep an eye on the GB though Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to add that the trim markings are actually red not the 'pinky-purply' colour as in the photo above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd like to enter if that's OK. Just pulled a 1/72 Italeri (Revell) Fiat G91 out of the stash with Freece Tricolori decals. I've not built one before, but it looks like a nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It has been a very long time since I proposed this GB, but I'm pleased to say that after all this time "holding", we are now running in for our display! My co-host, Antony and I are really looking forward to seeing the progress of all these colourful and varied models. Ladies and gentlemen, let the building commence and above all, let's have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
