CliffB Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've probably said it before (but not in this thread ), that I'll be doing Monty's Miles Messenger. The 1/72 Aeroclub vacform kit. Flew into theatre around D+5 I think - must do more homework! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolwe82 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Reading through the upcomming GB´s, i know i cannt miss this one if you have free spots yet (i m still quite new on BM so no idea if there is some limit ). I cannt say what it ll be, but chosing from typhoon, spit, swordfish, mosquito - i want to find some plane which was actualy in the air at the day so it kind of depends for what i can find decals options 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish fairey Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Your place is booked Wolwe82, the Swordfish sounds like a good idea, but I'm biased, welcome onboard and enjoy the build.........................Smudge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 hah thanks i have ordered the airfix swordfish but did not decided what camo to use on it, so this could be nice oportunity to try to find some d-day decals for it (and i guess there are tons of other "bismarck hunters" anyway all around ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 one thing that intimidates me is invasion strips, this seems a good time to go for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Happily, in 1/72 Tamiya tape is exactly the right width for masking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Happily, in 1/72 Tamiya tape is exactly the right width for masking them. Witch width?! I now 4 different sizes. Cheers, Edited January 23, 2014 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 one thing that intimidates me is invasion strips, this seems a good time to go for it Don't forget that these stripes were painted on by hand, 48 hours before D-Day, and not 'factory finish' so you have a bit of leeway on the finish Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Grumpylee Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 GB!? What's it all about? Never done one before! As dense as it sounds, what's to be done? I've got Miniarts Daimler (I think!?) In my stash and Tascas Firefly both '35, both I believe fit the timeline. What am I to do??? 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Fantastic news, that's for the support Ultimate Modelling Products. Had a good think about what to go for with the build, was just checking out aircraft while drinking beer, and it hit me (not the beer). What about a Spitfire IXe beer carrier. Eduard or Italeri me thinks, does this qualify as a D-day build, its got the strips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
