SaintsPhil Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hope you don't mind a late-comer to the party gang? Would like to pull a kit from the Seafire stash again & the Sword XV in 72nd scale looks tempting for a straightforward project. Don't mind at all!

FZ6 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Welcome, no choppers in the GB yet if that helps sway you.... I'm guessing the choppers are in the Helicopter Group Build. In fact the Lynx could also qualify for the Spendid Cats Group Build. I guess I can do the Lynx to add variety unless there are any other preferences.....

usetherudders Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hoping to enter with a Hobbycraft 1/48 Sea Fury with some AM decals. Hopefully should make a start next week before my hols. Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Test fitting on mine indicates that its not really that great fitting, but not terrible either. It will take some shimmying it seems. The wings required a lot of putty. Its probably one of AZ's weaker efforts, around that of their earlier Spitfires (and even then I found that they were not that hard to construct. Started last Sunday, I see what you mean with the wings unfortunately... I should have started something else for a simple build ! But it's started, so I'll finish this. Pictures coming soon !

Plastic Bonsai Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ummm ... I got an Airfix Sea Vixen yesterday - could I join? Only stuck a few bits together and unstuck some again - should really read the instructions. It will be a quick fix OOB before I start yet another model.

Old Man Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Looking to join in with a Sea Gladiator. What i want to do is an 802 squadron machine on HMS Glorious in the Mediterranean in mid '39, but I have not got quite certain enough yet about the markings.... Query on markings in the 'interwar' section here has come through trumps, so this is a definite for an 802 Squadron Sea Gladiator.... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234943385-802-sqdn-sea-gladiator-markings-query/ Edited July 21, 2013 by Old Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phil, I'm not sure yet, I'd like to keep it simple - just to get something started and finished, but I'm not sure whether to venture out of my normal 'comfort zone' or try something different! Current thoughts are a Shar2 in 1/72........to start with. If I can get that finished and I find that long lost mojo, then who know's! I have to add, I don't have a particularly great GB completion record! Lets hope I can do better on this one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having quite a big soft spot for the Harrier an FA2 gets my vote, we've not got one in the GB yet either. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't get finished by the end if the GB, as long as taking part gets the mojo going again. I have about a 50% finishing rate for GB builds by the deadline so I can't complain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Xtrakit Shar2 somewhere, so may crosskit that with the better parts from an Esci kit (wings and centre section probably). I've also found some Airfix 1/72nd scale Buccaneer parts, given to me some years ago - and I have some left over bits from a CMR resin kit too...so that could be a possibility too.....hmmmmm We shall see!!

IXGR1 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Mmmmm -a technicality. I want to do the FAA anniversary GR-9 for this GB, but have been musing...........were there any GR-9's actually in the FAA ? I know there are many photo's of them in Naval markings......and 'Harrier Force' was a joint colaberation ? But (probably a 'Noob' question) were the AIRCRAFT 'Crab'/RAF machines ? Two points on this...........am I taking this too seriously, and MORE importantly should I change my entry for his GB ?

Two points on this...........am I taking this too seriously, and MORE importantly should I change my entry for his GB ? I would say that's fair game. I'm not sure the Harrier actually belonged to the FAA but JFH was staffed by both Navy and RAF pilots and support staff. Anyway I doubt very much anyone would complain with 'Fly Navy' plastered on the tail.... Edited August 2, 2013 by SaintsPhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
