Caerbannog Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 At the size of the XB-70 I would not consider decals for the Thunderbirds design (except the Thunderbirds logo and tail numer with circle of stars). I guess you are better off with masking tape. This is how I would try it - but it would surely take me longer to mask than the GB takes ;-) Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's what I thought rene, just the stars on the tail, and the fuselage. Masking for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can send you a jpg file with the star circle, #1 and the Thunderbird logos so they would fit a 1:72 XB-70 as per drawing if this is of any help. You would still need to print it on clear decal paper. Please PM me if you need it. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) ... I started converting a Accurate miniatures P-51C into a what if with a Griffon engine and some Mustang Ia 20 mm cannon wings. I've been meaning to do a Griffon conversion for ages, but I was going to start with a Mustang IA, on the premise that they converted Allison airframes (with first-generation Griffons). Rolls Royce did consider the idea, but thought the Griffon was a bit heavy. They also encouraged North American to run with the idea, but NAA thought the Merlin a better prospect, and that adopting the (2-stage) Griffon would necessitate a complete (larger airframe) redesign. It would have made a hot-rod tactical recon aircraft, I'd think! bob Edited July 7, 2015 by gingerbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish my French Mosquito (I'm late finishing), start my BoB Spitfire (erm...I'm late starting) and then my Fleet Air Arm Sabre needs to get off the block too. Argh!

Fatboydim Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just ordered the paints for my what if. I'm giving Mr Hobby paints a go. I've never used them before, but hear good things about them. I've got the Mr Hobby leavening thinner to go with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just incase a few people were wondering why I didn't bring the Arado to this GB, it is a bit of a long term project and I wasn't sure I would be able to complete it in time for this GB. But I will be bringing out the B-51G "Tropic Moon III" project I've being talking about earlier.That one is a bit easier than the Arado, plus I am back on week on/ week off roster so will have a lot more time now for modelling!! Am soooo looking forward to this GB!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Another away for the first week. But the parts are all ready to go. Just hope I can clear the Tornado and Hurricane off my desk first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 14 days to go Whiffers! I'd umm... better get my act together and order some stuffs then. Although whether it'll actually get started, let alone finished is quite another matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 8 days to go now gang. As with most of you I have a kit selected and the basis of a back-story formed. I also have a rather cluttered workbench that really needs at least some of the many stalled or on-going projects cleared off it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckely one is already in the painting stages. Only the other two (B-24 and Hurricane) will give me a headache. I need more time for modelling. Luckely my project for this GB is already on standby.

Fatboydim Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My paints have arrived, so I've got all I need now. This will be my first What If, and I'm really looking forward to it. The back-story is all ready. I've put in some facts to go with the fiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
