Col. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 As for the Stirling, I'd be inclined to include it if no one else has any objections. Age alone gets it a qualification really I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 They're mine! :lol:But seriously... Airfix old tool and Matchbox. Monogram Typhoon Issued 1968. replaced by Hasegawa.Airfix Dauntless. DittoAirfix Hampden Issued 1968. Replaced by Valom.So they're all in!As for the Stirling, I'd be inclined to include it if no one else has any objections. Age alone gets it a qualification really I'd say. Thanks Enzo/Col, I would like to build the Stirling (another one beat me years ago) and possibly the Dauntless as a bit of a warm up! Rob.

The dragonborn Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I consider doing one of these: Airfix: f-16a/b Swordfish (old tool) Hasegawa: Harrier gr.1 a-37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) I have a FROG Dornier Do17 and was thinking OOB with Battle of Britain markings. Would that count?All the Dornier Do 17Z kits seem to have been released in 1968. Nothing since then. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. However, I'm going to say that the modern RS Models Do 17P is a suitable replacement! So it's in. Edited September 3, 2013 by Enzo Matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowler0000 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Has this GB now started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Steady Penfold! The start date is 14 September. I'm busily clearing my rather messy work area. I think that, like you, I've a lot started but little even near finished.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Of course the organised of us, have paints required all ready, a build plan and schedule mapped out, showing photo opportunities to log the work in progress with dramatic shots showing superb detailing. Alternatively we can have a mad panic on the day it starts and not know how to upload photos, find the damn kit in the first place or better find its incomplete despite the numerous times you have checked it previously No prizes for guessing which one i am ! Ps Rich is the rough tough man from the outback really posting about using nail files earlier on in this thread ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Hi All, I'm a newbie here, and would like to participate in this GB. Stash-wise I'm a bit limited and feel it is a choice between a Monogram 1:48 scale Hawker Typhoon, a newly bought Airfix Dauntless, Airfix Stirling (does this count as Italeri are releasing a new Stirling soon?) or an Airfix Handley Page Hampden.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Here's one of my entries. Airfix Skyraider. Plus an awful lot of resin... Not shown are the QB pylons set and Rob Taurus replacement canopy. Is it actually worthwhile actually chucking that amount of good resin at this obsolete kit? I dunno... it may be a waste. But it's my kit and I'm gonna do it anyway. Just try and stop me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 That takes me back.... I could never decide if that or the landing Lancaster was my favourite box art. Aye when I were a lad...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paganpete Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You go for it Enzo! I think I must have the easiest kit of all of us at the minute - the base kit is about 22 parts!! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I thought I could beat that but I can't. Lowest is 29 parts. When will the work thread be set up so I can post some piccies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 When will the work thread be set up so I can post some piccies?

Black Knight Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks. I've got me two kits sorted, except I've lost the canopy for the Starfix Spitfire, Do you think anybody'll notice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Blimey it's nearly time then. I'll dig out my Novo Beaufighter and make sure I have all the bits! Has anyone suggested a new one in the Airfix 2014 thread yet? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarLos Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'll enter also with the older Airfix Whirlwind fighter. I probably must rob wheels from the spares box, but the rest with be bettered only with plastic card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
