hgbn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Something we never discussed. Do we want a poll in the end of this STGB or should we just enjoy the session without pressure? I'm neutral on this so its really up for you gang to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaning dolphin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Really looking forward to this group build and the variety of types available, nice to see they won't all be grey Mk6's (Not that there is anything wrong with a grey Mk6!!). As for a poll i would be happy for one. Cheers now Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 As am I Bob, Looks like it will be quite a colourful GB so far. With regards a poll I not fussed either way: I will go with the majority on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/SH-3A_HS-2_USS_Mahan_1967.jpg Build this one ages ago from a Fujimi kit. Still have it but it need a new tail rotor. 3 blades are gone awol.. Oooh well might steal one from one of my 5 Heller/Airfix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If time and other GB projects allows ( intend to stay focused on my new years resolution. Only enter with one entry at the time in each GB I signed up for. then I can start a new entry when that project is done) then I will build a HH-3E Jolly Green Giant in SEA camouflage from the Vietnam era.

hgbn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My SH-3A mentioned before has entered the repair dock. Lost 3 blades from the tail rotor during our house move. Located only 2 them in the box. Decided to steal one of the five blade from one of my unbuilt Heller Sea kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgbn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have read somewhere that if a word or say a flag have the right amount of either letters or colours, but is having a wrong combination. then the fault can go on without noticed with a lot of people. Like people often recognize the individual elements and the brain is somewhat cheated to a extend. Might be the same reason obvious errors occur for those who actually makes the mistake.

Wafu Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If we have a poll can we include a poll question on the reissue of the old Airwaves products for the Sea King? I'd love Mr Hannants to reissue the cabin door, six blade tail rotor and the partical separator ( sand filter) in 48th, Please. Any OOP parts/decals you'd like?

hgbn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Same reason I declined every thought of ever being a judge at a model contest I know myself enough to know that it would end up as me looking after errors done by the modeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I found this whilst rummaging in the stash last weekend, it's the old Fujimi kit RN/RAF markings boxing. Started by my brother quite a few years ago. It's not eligable for the GB due to it not meeting the 25% rule. However I'll build it alongside my other build and I'll post progress pics in the WIP section. As the kit represents an SH-3 I'll build it as G-ATYU/XV370 the first of a batch of four Sea Kings to arrive by ship into the UK in October of 1966. The reference pic, I have in Fleet Air Arm Helos since 1943 only has a B&W pic. So I'm assuming it's in RAF BG, as the US Engine Grey had by the time been superceded by White over Gull Grey. That is unless someone has other info. The cab carries minimal markings UK civil reg on either side of the nose but to brighten it up the yellow US style TR warning band is applied around the tailcone.

moaning dolphin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Can I start in British time and finish in Canadian time? Those 4 extra hours may be priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi, anyone out there got any interesting pics of the AEW cabin interior fit? the Revell kit parts won't do the job. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi Colin, I don't really know what I'm looking for but I have the wings and wheels book that may have something you need. I can have a read to see if AEW jumps out at me and take some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi, thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten I had it, stuffed away on the bookshelf. Anyway, had a look, naaathing. I'll find some external detail though. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So out of the available Sea King kits, nobody has picked the Cyberhobby kit. I wonder why? Yes the HC4 is suspect on the nose but what about the other versions? I wonder can some cross kitting be done with the HC4 and a Revell kit? Just a couple of thoughts.

moaning dolphin Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I never thought about cross kitting, would be a $$$$$$ way of getting a Mk4 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
