Arniec Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 OK Gents, Just 8 weeks to go before we start. Those weeks will be over before you know it. I hope everybody hase got their kits and pieces together for this one. I know I do. If not then hurry up to get those last pieces. I will do a 1/72 Mustang III in 1/72 from Revell. This one will be in 122 squadron colours. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I plan on doing at least one Spitfire IX and possibly a Hasegawa/Academy hybrid Mustang III. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzio Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Oh sweet, I had completely forgotten about this GB (shame on me!). I received some goodies from Eduard and Brengun last week. First thing I will be in with is a Beer Barrel carrying Spitfire IX (think it was a c model??) in 1/144, I'm not sure on the dates an everything (yet) but it has invasion stripes so I am assuming it's okay. Failing that I have a Mustang III on order from HLJ. Bound to have something else floating around. Kind Regards Dazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 No, you haven't...... I've no idea!........... Your'e signed up now though.........Welcome aboard B.K. Smudge Oi thank ooo. If you don't know and I don't know... then I'm in trouble. What is the start date again? PS; if anyone is interested; BBC Radio 2 will be doing a D-Day special on Friday 6th June, 'Friday is Music Night', with people like Patrick Stewart [as W.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I might change my options for this GB. I was going to build a That Bristol Aircraft but as I built two last year, I might go for a Boston III instead. I haven't built a Boston in decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I was thinking of doing my Bronco Firefly V but I realised I've also go a Hasegawa Typhoon IB that would look pretty good in D-Day stripes, so I think thats what I'll be going for...
