JOCKNEY Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd let you just so you could finally get around to finishing it!!! Just looked at you build thread...completely mad!!! It would have been easier to scratch build it! Though like the work you've do so far, you do have to finish it....KUTA VIII??? Spooky "Resin obi one" I was going to make virtually the same post ! Seriously come on Caerbannog, you could quickly finish the Macchi and and then build something else not as difficult, how about the coliseum out of matches for example ?

But there are so many GBs at the end of this year I doubt I will be able to get the Macci though. I fear it will be a stop and go project for some while now. But it will be completed some day ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers René Great link, so come on don't be a tease, what are you planning to build ? Cheers Pat Not sure yet - I have the following matching kits in stash: 1. Special Hobby Breda Ba 65 2. Taurus Models Mc 202 with some aftermarket bits and 3. Classic Airframes Cr.42 4. Fly Ansaldo SVA with custom decals I wish I had something more easy to contribute :-) My favorite is the Breda, the easiest will be probably the Ansaldo. Whish I had another Macci Racer...

JackG Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks! Yea, I put that up as a possible promotional poster/badge, but by next year might try something else. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Hmm, I have a Tamiya Macchi 202, a Hasegawa Lancia Stratos, a slightly-started-but-only-undercoated Fujimi Ferrari Dino and a copious selection of Tamiya Ducatis. Better put me in. Further checking reveals a brace of Italeri Saharianas. And a Fiat G.91. And a surprisingly large quantity of Tornados. I'm sure I can find a subject that appeals on the day.

trickyrich Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 welcome aboard, nice selection to choose from! Hopefully someone well build a Stratos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I'll build it then trickyrich, but I'm not sure how well. Edited February 27, 2015 by Rob G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Now this would be nice, an opportunity to build some Fiat 500s as a counterpoint to this year's Renaults and Citroens.

vppelt68 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I found a Heller 1:43 Benetton F1 kit in my stash. Deep in there, actually. Gotta check whether the actual F1 team was Italian or British... or is it eligible anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hmmm it does have to have an Italian connection to be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I found a Heller 1:43 Benetton F1 kit in my stash. Deep in there, actually. Gotta check whether the actual F1 team was Italian or British... or is it eligible anyway? Tricky one.... Benetton raced with a British license from 1986 to 1995 included. From 1996 included to 2001 they raced with Italian license. Personally I'd say that a car from the latter period can be considered Italian, even if the chassis was built in the UK. Cars from the earlier era are a more complicated matter.. the team was UK based and raced with a UK license but was owned by an Italian family. What is the more important aspect ?

Cars from the earlier era are a more complicated matter.. the team was UK based and raced with a UK license but was owned by an Italian family. What is the more important aspect ? See I knew someone would know the answer, even if it caused more confusion! The idea of the build is it is either Italian, was used in Italy, or have some positive connection. So in this case Giorgio is correct in saying 1996-2001 would be ok, otherwise.....maybe the Italian family is not quite enough. I found a Heller 1:43 Benetton F1 kit in my stash. Deep in there, actually. Gotta check whether the actual F1 team was Italian or British... or is it eligible anyway? This GB still has to get past the voting stage (well actually to the voting stage) so I wouldn't get too concerned yet about the one you have found. By the time we get there you are bound to have found something in your stash........or acquired something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks Giorgio and Rich. I can build this in the Racing GB should that make the vote... The Heller kit appears to be Benetton F1 from 1988 season so definitely British :-) V-P Edited March 2, 2015 by vppelt68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think this one needs a bump. Common guys!!!! Just 2 to get this one on the list. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Gosh I got so side tracked on other things I had forgotten about this one!. As Arnold mentioned we just need 2 more votes to go through to the voting round! The subject matter for this is as big if not bigger than that of the French GB plus a h#ll of a lot more sexy!! So come on people, I bet most of you have something Italian in your stash, dig it out and come join the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I don't know how I missed this one. With the success of the French Fancy GB, this one seems like a logical next step. Please count me in. My choices would be an F-104S, a G-91 and a Ferrari formula 1 car. But I've also seen an interesting scheme for a P-39. And wot about Harriers and Tornados? Ooh! Ooh! Savoia-Marchetti SM.79... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
