Rob S Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Oops! Looks like I've fallen foul of the Rules even before I've started! I was going to attempt a "Paper Plane" in a "What if" scheme but Rule 1 is 'in Commercial service". I'll have to go back to the shipping cartons and unpack something else! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach Turtle Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hello. May I join the GB with a build of the Minicraft 1/144 Pan Am Pacific Clipper NC18609? I would like to depict it at Trincomalee, on "the long way home" from Auckland to New York after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.I started the kit some time ago, but I'm sure it's less than 25 percent done -- fuselage and wings roughly assembled, but no filling or painting done, and no details added. I don't have pictures at the moment, but trust me, it's not very far along. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Great to see so many have joined the GB. We have over 60 entries at this time with 4 finished. Well done chaps and keep the updates coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I've been overseas for the past few weeks and finally been able to find a phone signal. I'll be returning tomorrow and will be able to get stuck into my builds. From a brief look at the group build so far, there's so many builds I want to follow there may not be enough hours in a day to do both. Until later, Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 We have over 60 entries at this time with 4 finished. Well, that can't be right, 'cos airliners "aren't that popular"! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in OK Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Don't think we could class that as an airliner Thanks Why would the Hindenburg, which completed so many successful passenger flights across the Atlantic, not be considered an airliner? What else could it be considered? Just wondering... Greg in OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg in OK We had a discussion and decided that it couldn't be allowed.I would class it as an airship and probably not an airliner.Thanks Edited August 20, 2016 by feoffee2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in OK Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 As it is not an airplane I can see your point.. Thanks Greg in OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's interesting, but Wikipedia gives DELAG as the world's first airline, they flew airships. Just out of interest https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_by_foundation_date Best regards Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have come up with two Lockheed types I may well add to the GB. Decision yet to be confirmed but I have lined up a Revell Connie to 1/144 and Nordair decals. And a 1/72nd Special Hobby Lockheed Lodestar and Draw Decals for a Mid Continent shiny silver machine! Pics to come. But I won't start until after I get back of my hols in mid September. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My next choices time permitting. One or the other may well get completed within the time frame.

alancmlaird Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'd like to join too please.....Newish member and not posted anything at all yet!I'll need to read the GB rules, but does '25% started' include opening the box, holding two fuselage halves together and making engine noises? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'll need to read the GB rules, but does '25% started' include opening the box, holding two fuselage halves together and making engine noises? Close but so long as you didn't do any take-offs, landings, or banks or turns you should be under 25%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
