English Electric Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Excellent!! Its bright yellow nastiness has been calling me for a while now, and all those rivets too... Was thinking of a Norwegian scheme for it, but could be persuaded otherwise... will get thinking!! Looking forward to it! In fact, having thought about it I have a plethora of unusual trainers and drones lurking around, so as well as the Harvard maybe one of the following, but I don't want to overstretch myself... KP CS-199 Bucker Bu-181 Bucker Bu-131 T-28 Fennec North American 0-47 Any of those sound appealing...

hgbn Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Okay I have made an decision. I'm going to deplete my stash of Hasegawa 1/72 P2V-7 Lockheed Neptunes and doing one of these. A DP-2E drone controller http://p2vneptune.com/v05d.shtml Using the Airmodel vac conversion kit. Decals is going to be made of bits and things from the sparebox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanflyer Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hmm...perusing the spreadsheet with my stash on it, it appears I have the following kits which would be suitable: A-10 trainer 1/48 Avro 504K 1/48 Folland Gnat 1/72 and 1/48 Harvard 1/72 Hawk 1/48 and 1/32 Jet Provost T3 1/48 Meteor T7 1/72 MiG 29UB 1/32 Starfighter TF-104 1/144 and 1/48 Tiger Moth 1/32 It's just a matter of whether I'll have the time to do any of them - got a busy time at work coming up over the next few months. If not, I have an idea for a Deanflyer Special which would fit in with the theme, but not sure it would be a neat fit into any of the categories already outlined...wait and see. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Chaps, I'm looking at a Revell 1/72 Fairey Gannet T.5. It would be built as a part of 849 Naval Air Squadron. Is this eligible? Rob. Hi Bobster, Just seen this: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/PSL72069 A new decal sheet for the Gannet and has an Australian T5 to consider if you don't fancy all that dayglo!!!

Supercuber Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Hi, A Polikarpov PO-2 , KP, 1/72 , Yugoslav Aero Club, 1950's is my choice for this GB. Count me in. Edited December 17, 2013 by Supercuber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I won't be able to join this GB, but I hope see to at least one Harvard. During the war, Ottawa, my home, had a flying school. My mum who was a teenager at the time told me that there were always trainers flying over. They were bright yellow, and the Harvards had a very distinctive sound. She told me that one of her neighbours painted their garage bright yellow and painted roundels on the doors. It has been said that for many Canadians, when recalling the war, they think not of Spitfires or Hurricanes, but of the Harvards. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan had flying schools all over Canada. It was said by Winston Churchill, I think, that Canada was the "Aerodrome of Democracy." Good luck, everyone.

Giorgio N Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I had not signed in as interested, but I might take part in this one. While I might start my Aeroclub 1/72 G.91T, I'm not sure I will have the time to tackle a vacform fuselage so I might take an easier route and build the revell/italeri Hawk in ETPS markings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have a kit of the all-black Jaguar T.4 in 6 Squadron markings used as an instructional airframe by the Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering, would that be eligible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazdot Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 just a thought how about a topgun a4e not planning it but just as a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 just a thought how about a topgun a4e not planning it but just as a question Will have to think about this but I feel its a bit doubtful. What do you think Enzo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 A quick stash throws up 1/72 Vampire T55 Swedish Air Force, MiG 29UB, Meteor T7 or Jag T2. Otherwise, it's a 1/48 Hawk T1, fancy the Spithawk scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Will have to think about this but I feel its a bit doubtful. What do you think Enzo? The primary role of the aircraft is as a combat aircraft. It doesn't count for this build even though it's with a training unit. Same principle would apply to Harrier GR.1s on the OCU. Sorry...

Procopius Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I got a "like" from you Enzo, but I wasn't sure if you were just impressed by my chutzpah, or if mine was okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I got a "like" from you Enzo, but I wasn't sure if you were just impressed by my chutzpah, or if mine was okay. Well... it's a two-seater trainer depicted as serving with a training unit. Okay... it's carrying squadron markings, but you've proved its role. Basically it's the modern equivalent of CliffB's Roleur. All sounds good to me. It's just a shame it's not carrying a maintenance serial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
