Stosh65 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Hang on iid what scale? EDIT: just looked not for me an az 1/72 for 17.00 looks like my 1/48 iic hasegawa kit seems like a shrewd investment seeings as it was given to me just looked at the price Ouch!!!!! Hm, it was about a tenner last I looked. They had a special offer that seemed to have lasted forever. Just my luck if it's finished now.EDIT: Yup, just checked myself, MkIId no longer in the offer. MkIV it is then. Edited January 2, 2016 by Stosh65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Mind you if I use this thread instead of WW2 Aircraft to ask silly questions regarding my -possible- build? I'm tempted to go the easy way and grab a Revell Sea Hurricane IIc kit the next time I go to a certain supermarket that has them, and build it with its faults out of the box except, and here's the Mission Impossible part, would like to decorate her as a plane operated in the Mediterranean. Right. A IIc means a short period leading to Torch and ending before Husky, and even then on just three escort carriers and by three or four squadrons? What if I'd prefer one with proper British instead of quasi-US markings? Impossible, right?

Doug Rogers Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sounds ok to me, the bottom line is to get people building Hurricanes really, so I don't have a problem with what you're suggesting. Having said that I wouldn't want to see people suggesting Hurricanes in Klingon markings...be nice to keep it real. As always the hosts are available for guidance and final decisions.

JimmyZ Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi Doug & Neu (hosts). I don't know if it's necessary to inform you. I'm withdrawing from this GB, as I'm going directly from the P-47 GB to the Corsair GB. It's no fun when I have to rush to get a model done Cheers Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Neu- Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi, Michael! Thank you for the reply! I think the crucial piece of information that I managed to leave out is 1/72. I think Hasegawa is the only one that has it for this scale, but whenever I spot one I only see steep prices. Btw, I currently have Airfix`s 1/72 Hurricane with fabric wings and intend to build that in Romanian colours. It looks like a very nice kit and can`t wait to start building it. Unfortunate, but understandable... Wait... its not understandable. Why would you chose the R-2800 over the beauty of the Merlin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I wouldn't want to see people suggesting Hurricanes in Klingon markings... The Klingons were based on Samurai culture, so I think a Ki-61 would be more appropriate. Macchi Folgore in Romulan markings, anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Unfortunate, but understandable... Wait... its not understandable. Why would you chose the R-2800 over the beauty of the Merlin? You`re gonna have to walk me through the connection between the R-2800 and the Yugoslav built Hurricanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hey guys, hope i ll have some time to join this GB, got some plans in mind all 1/72, revell IIc (Karel Kuttelwascher JX-E), revell IIb and airfix I with rag wing (both in some of 310 or 312 czechoslovakia squadron plane) So lets see, anyway lets enjoy this gb with great theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The Klingons were based on Samurai culture, ... I always reckoned their culture was more akin to Viking warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Can you take one more? Would the "last of the many" racing Hurricane from 1948/49 be acceptable - not the 1/148th Hasegawa one, but a 1/72nd kit with aftermarket decals.. Philip If you're doing it in this scheme; The under wings numbers need rotated 180 degrees from what the decal instructions say; There is a copy of 'Flight' [iIRC] magazine with a clear photo of the underneath showing this.

Prenton Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 That's very helpful, thanks. All I had to go on were stills from the Pathe news of the race, so that's most useful to know. (not sure whether I will do that particular one, or the other race, but it will be one of them). Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My intention for the rules was very simple, it needs to be a Hurricane, vintage or modern is fine, no 'What ifs' please. Anyone planning to do K5083, the prototype? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 As I have looked into a couple of Hurricane kits for the Made in Britain GB, I realised it's probably time that I start one of these, this STGB comes at a perfect time ! I have the recent Airfix rag.wing, the Revell IIb and 3 Hobbyboss easy kits... should be able to build at least one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi, Awkward question time. As part of the BoB GB I started an Airfix 1/24th Hurri. Only got as far as one gun bay completed, Merlin half done and cockpit framework together. Then the nose fell off! Combined with my mojo suddenly taking a holiday it ended up being boxed up and placed on the shelf of doom. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234985100-hawker-hurricane-airfix-124th-scale/ Any chance I could continue the build in this GB or do you think it's over the 25% rule? As the nose will need buttoning up I'm planning on displaying the merlin separately. If no then it'll be the 1/48th Airfix or Revell's 1/32nd example Over to your good selves.

Doug Rogers Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Borderline...but it's a yes from me, in the interests of getting a kit off of your shelf of doom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So only a week to go before kick-off, really looking forward to seeing what magic you guys (and girls) can come up with. I'm planning on doing two in 1/48th scale, the last 'old mould' Airfix Hurricane I have in my stash, and a new Airfix kit. Probably going to do the new one on the ground and the old kit 'in a state of flying' on a stand. We have some very knowledgeable folk on here who know everything you can imagine ever needing to know about the Hurricane, so I'm sure they will be happy to help with any queries you may have.

PhantomBigStu Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 in the spirit of this, heres one I've just done for the made in britain GB will be off to my local model shop later, won't bet against me returning with another of the same kit for this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Anyone planning to do K5083, the prototype? Now, there's a thought. I'd done some research and barely started messing with plastic on a 1/72 Airfix rag-wing, so maybe this is a good excuse to pick that one up. As it happens it is within reach- I accidentally rescued it from the stash the other day! If not that, I'd go for a 1/48 Hasegawa in the blue "Last of the Many" scheme. And now that I think of it, both together would be appropriate. But I don't want to get too ambitious, as I usually do... bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Has there been a review or opinions posted of Plastic Planet Club PPD-72007 decal set that confirms all schemes are correct for the rag wing? regards, Jack Sorry can't help, but I was wondering the same thing. Right I'm going to have a play in this GB I'm hoping, with something unusual using a 1:72 Airfix Mk.1 Fabric Wing. Decals have just been ordered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
