Col. Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 This one I think pretty much defines the boundaries for our GB Arnold. I'm inclined to say yes but by only a narrowest of margins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) This one I think pretty much defines the boundaries for our GB Arnold. I'm inclined to say yes but by only a narrowest of margins. Thanxs Col.This rocks I was in doubt myself so I think better ask first. I will try to make it a little bit more black. Now we need to get this GB trough at the end of this year.

Radleigh Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Few Black aircraft (and helicopter) at some recent shows for some inspiration.

Ray S Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hello, I would like to join in when this goes ahead, preferably with a ship if I can find any black ones. I know that a number of British destroyers were predominantly black (they were easier to see than lighter coloured ships at night by the Germans by some paradox). Chorozy Modelbud did some mainly black German torpedo boats if I get stuck. If not, I do have some aircraft that will qualify anyway. As for the coroguard problem mentioned earlier on the All Black's plane, grey is just a paler shade of black anyway! Sorry, I'll get my coat... Look forward to this going ahead. Cheers, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Black...does that mean the whole model has to be black without any other colour . Are some stipes or a white rudder for example allowed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ray S, as a worst case, there's always the Lockheed-Martin Sea Shadow as a black ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are some stipes or a white rudder for example allowed ? So long as the subject is mainly black it qualifies. So yes a white rudder or some stripes is fine.

vppelt68 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Time to enter my AMT F-117A Stealth Fighter then. Though that's so wrong in dimensions I could've built it in the SciFi or Whif group builds too 😅. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I've got a Collect-Aire F3D-2 Skyknight that would be perfect for this build if I don't build it sooner, it's such an awesome model!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 modeller Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Can you add me please? Looking at a p-61 black widow, at least, without pulling my stash apart to check all the included decals.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'll be building a Beaufighter night fighter. Original, eh? If I can work out a way of doing the nacelles properly it will be a Mk.II. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cool subject Matt. You're on the list fella. I'll be building a Beaufighter night fighter. Original, eh? If I can work out a way of doing the nacelles properly it will be a Mk.II. Perhaps Airfix or some enterprising aftermarket producer will save you the trouble before this one kicks off? Sure that would be a popular conversion kit.

The Beaufighter was also on my list of posabilaties (and that is already growing). But than a Original Tamiya one with the Bambi drawing.

rob85 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I too may have a cunning plan with a beaufighter in black... But will have to see if it pans out OK Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm1did1 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Anyone bagged the old bit worthy Italeri Do217N-2 All I can find tho is the N-1..was I imagining it I wonder...? Built one years ago but haven't stumbled across one for sale for...lets say a while..(hence the ? to the sub-mark) ...maybe I have mentally cross-kitted with the Revell-Monogram 48th scale N-2 Edited October 19, 2015 by dpm1did1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer54 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Count me in for this! I'm usually an aircraft modeller kit assembler, but languishing in my stash is a Revell 1/25 1957 Chevy hardtop- the kit includes parts (although not instructions) for a drag racing Gasser, with lifted suspension and a front beam axle. I can see it in a sort of "Two Lane Blacktop" black primer finish . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
