Cheers Jaime I like that a lot Jaime; very nice Nice font, good colours and very balanced. It gets a positive vote from Mr. TTiger. Well done TT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's the Broadway font, created in 1927 and it's an Art Deco creation, right from the golden age of flying boats: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_(typeface)?wprov=sfla1 Cheers Jaime 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've now added the logo to my signature. Those interested in using it, just copy the link location of the image. It's also uploaded to the GB banner area: I had to resize it slightly smaller, as the initial version was a bit oversize for the signature restrictions.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I've looked at all the proposals for this GB. I'm really impressed by the superb biplanes and vacforms which will be built. By comparison, my proposals are boringly mainstream. I hope to build two Sword kits in 1/72: the Arado Ar196 and the Curtiss SO3C Seamew. I remember building the Airfix Arado when I were nowt but a lad. I enjoyed it and always wanted to build another Ar196. Well, now is the time. My reasons for the Seamew are twofold: I like Sword kits and the Seamew looks a bit weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Enzo, You may consider your choices as "boringly mainstream" but I have to disagree I always liked the Ar196 and been looking for a good kit of it. Thanks for calling my attention to the Sword offer. On the other hand, the Seamew is a really interesting subject! I really like all this variety of shapes and forms of seaplanes! I'm still undecided but I'll probably do either the Italeri Do 24 or the Eduard "The Boat" boxing: they weren't biplanes, had minimal rigging and they come already with all the needed extras.

What a great stash of floaty wingy things! Just build all of them.. I built the Junkers many years ago; the corrugated surface provides an interesting modelling challenge; filler and sanding has to be mainly avoided. It builds up quite well to be honest. The Heller kit has the edge, but all Auntie Ju kits are fun . Sunderland ! Sunderland.... T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 My Build for this GB will be a Sunderland, an RNZAF one My apologies for photo links, using Google Drive - still rescuing my myriad of photos from PB, and have not decided on any other photo sharing site.

Sunderlands are always very welcome! I have the Italeri's in the stash but don't think I'd be able to finish it within the time frame of the GB, especially because I'd like to super detail it with Eduard's BIG PE set. 14 hours ago, JOCKNEY said: Definitely the Vulcan floatplane, quite possibly one of the greater "What ifs" in history I'm afraid "What ifs" are not allowed But a Vulcan on floats with be an amazing sight Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jaime Hi Jaime, Sunderland is my all time favorite aircraft, having grown up on an RNZAF Sunderland base I have had a Mk III build underway for some time now which you are welcome to read through though Photo Bucket have dealt to my photos, will have to go back at some point and redo the photo links (you can still view the photos by right clicking "View", then when the photo bucket page loads go "Control F5" and the photo will appear) FWIW: Some of the Eduard sets are nice like the inspection stands etc, but the rest is actually bogus (as in doesn't exist) on a real Sunderland. Porthole inserts for none opening portholes and fuel tank covers etc - plus the Mk III Sunderland has additional tanks not shown by the Eduard sets..........

Kind regards Alan Hi Alan, Thanks for the link. I'm afraid PB is blocking all the images even when I click "view image". F5 didn't show the images either but I'm using Firefox and I'm not sure if you used that shortcut with this browser. Regarding the Eduard sets, are they completely wrong? Is there a reference source which allows us to check what's wrong and what's right? Thanks Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
