Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 After consultation with Giorgio we have decided to extend the GB. It was actually quite short in comparison to other GBs. In effect this will be a Spitfire STGB, so it only seems fair to give it the same length as other STGBs. Therefore, the Gallery will now close on Sunday 5th June. However as with other Tribute GBs, the thread will remain open indefinitely so that anyone can continue a tribute build. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Narrowing down which kit or more likely kits build at least intially is proving tricky but going to go with, the az mkix using decals I have from the airfix one think I can finally pull off masking invasion stripes. Also the airfix mkii will make a nice easy build, built loads as a mkii but none so far in mkii config. Would also like to do a seafire, though no idea which kit.

Best option for a 1/72 Seafire would be one of the Sword kits. They are short runs but good ones, not too tricky. Alternatively you can try an Airfix 1/48 Seafire XVII or 47, both good kits Thinking about it, the Sword Seafire III is one of those kits that I've planned for this STGB. The Spit was not really well suited to carrier operations but the Seafire nonetheless contributed a lot to the war effort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have my AZ low back XVI ready. I was going to do the South African but the Greek option is currently in poll. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Considering picking myself up the AZ joypack, and doing both johnson and skalskis options from the airfix kit I have, got two full sets of stencils as well. Knowing all the AZ's kits comes with various combos of spare bits, what are my options for the 3rd kit in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Mine comes with high and low back fuselages, round and pointed rudders and also two sets of exhausts. If I can pick up a cheap Airfix IX I may use the spare bits. Trouble is the Airfix has a bare cockpit..... Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm not sure I have the discipline to start and finish a Spitfire model within the allotted timeframe for a STGB but I am currently part way through an Airfix 1:48 Spitfire PR.XIX project, which I will continue to build in tribute to this great gentleman who shared so much of his vast knowledge with all of us over the years and in doing so enriched our enjoyment of this website. In a further tribute to Edgar, I'm going to town on this kit, with a plethora of Barracuda's excellent resin improvement sets, some Ultracast wheels, air scale instrument dials and mindful of my current location, I'm opting for a Swedish Flygvapnet S.31 Spitfire of F11 Wing, from the excellent RB Decals Studio set which I recently picked up in Stockholm. These Spitfires often flew reconnaissance missions over the Baltic Sea close to the border with the USSR. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Robertson Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Can I join with the Airfix Mk.1A 1/24 scale that I was bought for Valentines Day? Antony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Antony, of course, will be good to see a 1/24 Spit! Rules will appear soon, in the meantime keep choosing Spitfire kits from the stash! I'll attempt 3, may finish one hopefully.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 An excellent choice Tiger Mark. Flarpen kit bashed one a while back (and very well too!) I'm now set for my entry which is the Vc Gib to Malta direct flight which Edgar helped me out with shortly before the end. I hope he'll approve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I really shouldn't start another build anytime soon but no way am I missing this tribute to the great man,I don't have a Spitfire kit at all so I have a world of options to choose for in type and scale I,ll put the thinking cap on.

kwaterous Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think I'll be doing a Hasegawa 1:48 Spitfire IX. Apparently it builds nicely so I shouldnt have any issues waiting for me (fingers crossed) K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) As I mentioned I have no Spitfire kit and looking round for inspiration not only have I had a go at most of what's out there but have a lot on the shelves so I thought as I,ve never built a Seafire before and my 1/48 mojo is presently back with me I would track down one of the Airfix newish releases there's a lovely DSG over Sky scheme in one of the boxings.

Are you looking for the XVII or 46/47 kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Despite the presence of about 6 Spitfire kits in the stash, I've ordered a 48th Airfix PR. XIX from the Big H for this GB. It won't get here for the start of the GB, but that's OK because I got lots to finish first. Hpefully I can do it justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Are you looking for the XVII or 46/47 kit? I,m sure my LMS has both the newer releases in Col,I,m very struck by the Korean war schemed boxing I also noticed King Kit have a few of the releases from a few years ago which I seem to remember were well received at the time.

The XVII is no longer in the Airfix range so may be worth picking one up now if you are tempted but both are lovely kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
