Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I will do something with a Finnish flavour, perhaps a Revell C-160 in Finnish Air Force Markings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well I've had a thought about making an EB-52 Megafortress from the Dale Brown Patrick McLanahan series, with four engines and a range of ordnance for it, but I will have to do something as I imagine that will be a scratch building project, I have no scratch building experience.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm in. Hopefully with a reasonably logical BAC Sea Lightning, with technical justifications for all design decisions. No promises though - it may end up as a Martin Baker MB-5 in Western Desert colours, depending on time available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch K Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm feeling very pedestrian - there are some seriously wild ideas here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Still plenty time to come up with ideas and practice the scratchbuilding skills gang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm feeling very pedestrian - there are some seriously wild ideas here! I'm being rather careful with my choices here Mitch.

Dermo245 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 With other stuff that's happening, I might have to drop the Super-twin-FW190 build I was considering. But looking at a Ta-183 Huckbein instead and maybe a Lynx Mk8 in USCG service... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I know I've mentioned an shown my plans for this GB, a Turbo-Prop Swept wing Ar-234 night fighter, but I have something else stuck in my mind that I would like to do. I found this fantastic art work on the Deviant Art web site that has just caught my imagination. It's by an artist called "comradeloganov" and his drawings and stories to go with them are fantastic. So I am thinking I might do this one these instead as I have the all the bits required, depends on how much time I have. And no I don't think I could do two projects at once, will have too many on the go already! please note these images are copyrighted to comradeloganov, here is the link to this site http://comradeloganov.deviantart.com/gallery/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Jim Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Think it might be time to re-attempt my build from What If I, the Queen of the Skies.... most likely in the easier to build 1:144 scale though.... as I dont have the space for her in 1:72... not at the mo at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Well, if nothing else this gives plenty time for my right arm time to fully heal!! My enforced break from modelling (no pun intended) meant I was unable to complete my entry in the E E Lightning GB. .. As for this one? Hmmm ! Tough choice. Narrowed it down to a few ; Spectrum Archangel - Replacement for the Angel Interceptor using the Revell F-16XL 1/32 as the basis. Spey engined Mirage IV(K) using the Heller 1/48 Mirage IV. & parts from a wrecked but salvageable Revell Phantom FGR2. Might be feasible to combine the Phantom intakes/cockpit/nose with the Heller fuselage. Remember the old weather Herc? Long overdue replacement by the A400 Atlas W1 BAC Hyperion ( Greek - meaning "The High One" or, "Watcher from above") using Airfix 1/72 Concorde. This would be a job I'll probably bottle!! By bottle, I mean drinking about three bottles of Jura in the process!!. Anybody who has tackled this slightly problematic kit will understand!! Antonov/Airbus A-450 Titan.

JOCKNEY Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi everyone Really undecided about this one but have narrowed it down to either a tank busting BV194 or Arado 555 Hope these are ok to be included Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think my plan might be on the back burner for a while, not sure I will be able to get the kit necessary, my missus has said no more models till I finish all of the ones I've got.....

Unfortunately hiding my stash is impossible as i only have a small house and my workshop makes boxes very easy to see. Plus the missus takes all the parcels in as she is at home when the postman comes. Still i'm going to try and work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickpadwick1801 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 All it takes are some well-chosen decals to make something into a whif, in a pinch. I have absolutely no clue what to build for this. I was originally going to modify a B-52 into Dale Brown's EB-52 Megafortress (4 engined version) but now I'm not sure. I need to come up with some kind of interesting idea though, i will have to think about it. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Or a B-52 in Raspberry Ripple scheme....mmmm My first thought was anti-flash white overall or with grey/green uppers but it's your model and depending on which variant it represents may dictate a timescale.

pabbi Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi all, I would like to join this GB, I am thinking maybe.... What if Me-262 had been the world first passenger jet airplane ? With seat for 8 passengers ? or something else 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
