AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Well I was planning to enter using Revell's 1:72 He 111 but I find its a H-6 and although it was in service during the BoB it didn't take part in raids against UK till early 41 Now question to members more knowledgeable than I. Would a H-6 pass as a H-5 or earlier? If so anyone know of any suitable After Market decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I haven't decided jet what to build. I think it will be something German and straight out of the box. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just had a thought about the He 111 the Airfix new moulding should be out by the time the GB starts, problem solved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlemaster Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 After changing my plans from an aircraft from the Bof B film i wou7ld like to do a small diorhama of Bf 109E-4 White 6 Wn1985 piloted by Heinz Schnabel which made a forced landing at banks Farm ,Aldington, Kent on the 5th September 1940. Hope to do this as the damaged aircraft surrounded by sheep useing the Eduard kit in 1/48 http://www.wingleader.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lca3samplepages.pdf Alistair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mish, as it's a rebox of the Hase kit, it may contain the parts for an earlier -H Heinkel; I'm not sure what sprues are or aren't included.

kwaterous Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 No idea what to build, I think the LHS has an airfix 109e in 1:48... I guess I'll just *have* to pick that up then K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgbn Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Haven't decided yet on what to build for this GB. Maybe a fighter that needed a fighter escort itself?. 90% chance on something in splinter camo, Guess there will be plenty of Spits and Huricanes from other participants in this GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm in! Not finished a wingy thing before and have a 1/72 Airfix Me109E from the starter set which has decals for Obit. Werner Pichon-Kalau von Hofe, III./JG 51 in France 1940. A quick Google search confirms this is fine for the Battle of Britain so I'm good to go. Also have some resin bits and bobs I intend to add.

RichardPrice Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ooh definitely has to be a Spitfire for my first GB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Even I should be able to manage something with this much notice and at least 2 months airbrushing weather. Possibly a PCM Hurricane but more probably a 1/48 Spitfire, on verra as we say in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Was planning on doing Helmut Wick's 109E-4 and 'Cocky' Dundas Mk1 Spit PR-O as a dogfight double, but that encounter didn't happen until mid November 1940, so I'll be doing them individually.

stevej60 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Definitely in with some 1/72 builds.Defiant( if released), Spitfire and Hurricane but want to put a local twist on a couple either north east pilots or Usworth/ Acklington based aircraft or 607 squadron aircraft.

Caerbannog Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I would like to do the Classic Airframes Fiat CR.53 but fear I will not finish it in time - so more likely will be the 1:48 Airfix Hurricane in markings of James Brindley Nicholson VC. Markings will be done with masks, canopy kept close and as OOB as possible this time. Even I should be able to finish this in short time...

Galeregil Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Would attempting my first 1/24 scale inbetween filming and camping be a terrible idea?Yes? Perfect!Give me a few days to consider, and then I'll confirm my plan. I fear I have missed a rules post; if I have done so, I apologise, but I must ask. Are dioramas accepted? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
