AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Been looking through my option for this GB and I have the following: 1:48 Kinetic E-2C which would be built in E-2000 standard. This is my preferred build for this GB but it is time dependant. 1:72 AZ Models G-36A (Wildcat 1) 1:72 Airfix F4U Coursair in Suez markings 1:72 Italeri Rafale M to be built in 70th Anniversary Special scheme 1:72 Heller Mirare FIIIE Markings for 2 planes for E.C.2/4 with zaps Though this might be kept for the Mirage STGB 1:72 Airfix Magister Markings for two planes from EEVSV 1:72 Airfix Gladiator as K7939 '1' of 1Groupe de Chase 'Alsace' 1:72 Revell Mirage 2000 'Tiger Meet' but if built might wear different markings.

PaulT 876 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The Gladiator they took over from the RAF they had about 5 or 6 as far as I can tell. Its on my very long list to build. Glad to see decals out now. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get started you won't be able to hold yourself back and then you'll be scratching around for another subject - unless of course you subscribe to the Enzo school of build everything!

06/24 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Lovely, I DO like a Citroen DS Don't we all. Ebbro are releasing a new tool DS19 at some point, the test builds on their Facebook page looked stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Checked the stash and found several options.... - The Airfix Super Mystere that I had initially planned. As someone is already building one I wonder if it would be better to do something else to add some variety.. - Some Smer boxes of old Heller classics, including the De.510 and 520. The latter is quite crude, the former however is not a bad kit - A number of Mirage F.1s, that however are already supposed to be built in different markings (Gabon and Kuwait). I know they're French and allowed, but I'd like to do something in French markings - A number of Mirage III, as above - A Hellcat that would look good in Aeronavale markings. Don't have decals though - An old Airfix Skyraider... very bad model and would need some work to convert into the French variant. I have a decal sheet for these though - The Azur Vought Vindicator, French variant with French markings. Now this is tempting even if it's not French built - The SH 1/48 Maryland, again in French markings... very nice kit, plenty of plastic and resin. But would I be able to complete a 1/48 kit in time ? - An Airfix navy Lynx with French markings in the box... may need some work however to add the specific Aeronavale differences Hard to decide now. I know someone will suggest to build them all but I know I would need a 4 month holiday to just try.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The Airfix Super Mystere that I had initially planned. As someone is already building one I wonder if it would be better to do something else to add some variety Just because someone else is going it doesn't stop you giving it a go. I've been in GB's where me and others built the same subject not just the same type. It is always interesting to see how different people approach the same thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorbeck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Enzo and Wez,I've recently joined britmodeller, and would love to join this groupbuild.I would like to do a 1/48 Nieuport 23 in dutch markings. I already have the decals. (uhm, yeah, I just need to find the kit)I also have a 1/72 Revell P-47 with french decals in the box, but I don't know if that's acceptable because Jasonb13 has planned building one already. In my defense, mine is a bubbletop, not a razorback. Anyway, will find something suitably french if I may join, s'il vous plait? edit: well, while I was typing you answered the p47 question already. Now that is what I call quick service! Edited March 18, 2015 by Dorbeck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is what I call quick service! Dorbeck, You've already got the answer on the P-47, we'd be pleased to see it. Likewise your Nieuport in Dutch markings would be great too - so go find that kit! If you can't find the kit, anything else French will do nicely. Welcome to the GB and I see this was your 2nd post, so welcome to BM. Wez Edited March 18, 2015 by Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi all, I'd like to join if that's ok? Nothing out of the ordinary, just the Eduard 1/48 Mirage IIIC in 48 scale that I have had stashed away since first released. I will post a thread as I have a question re the colour scheme. Thanks FF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi all, just wanted to say how pleased I am with the proposed build threads we have already - 26 as I type ranging from biplanes to jets, cars, a submarine and now a figure, this is excellent and just what I wanted for this GB. Thanks to you all who've posted build threads already. For those of you that haven't decided what to do yet there's plenty of time to decide and there's plenty of room for you.
