Arniec Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Might be, but I'm hoping to get Heller's offering so it should end up in 1:400 unless....I don't know how it looks like, but I have got the Scharnhorst in 1/400 and that looks ok to me. I have a what if idea for that one as well.The Dutch were looking for some battle cruisers in 1939 for the Dutch east Indies and asked the Germans to get the plans for the Scharnhorst class. In the end the invasion of the Netherlands prevented it to go further. (This is a true story) It would have had almost same hull and main armament. The difference were the engines, different bridge and secondery armament. take a look here. http://www.werkgroep-kriegsmarine.nl/pdf/Slagkruisers_1_www.pdf It's in Dutch. Sorry for that. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormodeller Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So... What is the rest of the gang going to build. Lets get sone ideas rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I will go for something simple like I made in What If III. Another Fleet Air Arm subject, maybe a A4 Skyhawk or a FRADU Folland Gnat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hmmmm........ it's a bit early to start thinking about this as I'm bound to have changed my mind a few time before then, but....... There is a very strong possibility that the He-477Z "Amerika Bomber" would/will make an appearance in the very near future....this year or if I could wait for this GB then it would be a real possibility! will need a bigger bench for this baby! Or I just go just go 1/48th with the last one....would need a huge bench for that one! Cost wise about the same as the last one and that was 1/72nd! I still have a strong desire to go 1/48th with the B-57G "Tropic Moon" beasty...just extreme cost of base model is stopping me! But there other variations of this design that intrigue me.... or I just come up some other bizarre beast...turbo prop Ju-188 anyone???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm thinking French Aeronavale Sea Harrier. For the moment at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't know if Enzo already put this GB in the list for the 2017 voting?! But if not, please do. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well, I can't wait for this to come around- I've started a WhIf already (don't worry, I've got other ideas). I'll try to work up a backstory and get something on WiP in the next couple of days. bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormodeller Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm still thinking about my Tirpitz battleship but that might become an unlikely build for me. A GR.11 Harrier might do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Count me in! Swing-wing F/A-18 if I can get the bits to work.. Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptormodeller Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Count me in! Swing-wing F/A-18 if I can get the bits to work.. Dermot Sounds fiddly. I see a Tornado on the horizon for this one... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Considering how well your fixed wing Tornado came out Dermo, You'll no doubt blitz it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I may well do a FAC Balliol 'somewhere in Malaya'. Camouflaged grey/green/silver with 6" RPs slung underneath. Trevor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fids Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Oh yes. Seeing as I'm a rotor head I'm thinking at this very early stage a RAF CH53 circa 1982, Bravo something or other 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Well, I can't wait for this to come around- I've started a WhIf already...

Arniec Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I am thinking of doing a Fokker D23 in 1/48 with either a single pusher prop (merlin engined) and sort of P-38 nose or with both engines replaced with merlins. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have a few ideas which may last until this one gets a fixed date. If those ideas go or are worked on I'll dream up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
