Enzo the Magnificent 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??? You wait until the GB starts. Then you start a thread in the GB forum and document your build with photos as it happens. Easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The Hannants website is showing that Xtradecal have four D-Day decal sheets in preparation in 1/72: RAF single engined aircraft; RAF multi-engined aicraft; USAF (sic) aircraft and Luftwaffe aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Does anyone do a 1/72 cigar-shaped drop tank for Spitfires, as many seemed to sport on D-Day? Can I simply use a Hurricane or Typhoon one, or did the Spitfire version have a unique mounting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grumpylee Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Check out a company called Brassin, they do add ons for the Spitfire, not sure if they cover 72nd, good luck with the search Edited February 14, 2014 by Mr Grumpylee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Does anyone do a 1/72 cigar-shaped drop tank for Spitfires, as many seemed to sport on D-Day? Can I simply use a Hurricane or Typhoon one, or did the Spitfire version have a unique mounting? I'm pretty sure they would've been recycled Hurricane/Typhoon tanks - the RAF would always improvise adapt and overcome in order to use something they already had rather than buy something new (although I could be wrong). Of course, how it was mounted on the Spitfire would be totally unique to the Spitfire. It may be worth asking this question on the WWII forum, it's likely to get picked up by someone more knowledgeable such as the font of all Spitfire research that is Edgar.

HansReggelsen Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It seems that Revell is reissuing their 1/32 Mosquito B. Mk. IV! It's still the same old kit, but hopefully it'll trigger some of the aftermarket boys (or girls) to launch som goodies for it! As I still plan on doing the Mossie I'm crossing my little (well not actually little! ) fingers! Some new decals wouldn't go amiss as would some interior neither!

dazdot Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) have about 6 eligible at present and haven't a clue what to build. I'm thinking the Fairfax typhoon will be too much for a .gb so maybe writhe a Dakota. p47 beafighyer. fw190 a6 spitfire 9 or even a Sherman firefly Edited February 16, 2014 by dazdot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Here's my cunning plan for this GB. Last year I built two models of That Bristol Aircraft in an attempt to goad Airfix into releasing a new kit for 2014. Sadly that didn't work. We got Blenheims instead (not that I'm complaining... ) For this GB I will be taking one of my cherished Hasegawa kits of That Bristol Aircraft from The Stash and building it as a Mk.VIf. Hopefully the relevant Xtradecal sheet will be available by then. Okay Airfix... over to you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPaul Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Not just yet ta. I seem to have less and less spare cash each month, so I may have to join closer to the time, or once it's started, if that's OK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
