Looking forward to these ! The Westland Sea King is one of those unusual subject that while foreign in origin is different enough that the British variant is allowed in this GB. For anyone else interested in this helicopter, only Westland Sea Kings are allowed !

Giorgio N Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Folks, the start date is approaching fast, time to start taking boxes off the stash or rushing to the shops to buy kits ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 When exactly we are suppoused to start? I have already started DH9 in Spanish colours, but I stopped and I hope that my advance is not more than accepted. Second is Avro 504 N in Belgian colours and third another Spanish Britt - Vildebeest... As were talking in Rome "omne trinum perfectum" ...

Wez Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I was looking at doing an Ajeet for this GB, however, whilst the Ajeet wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Gnat, does it qualify? If not I could always do a Vampire... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sorry but I’ll have to withdraw from this one. I’m horribly behind with my Carriers Ahoy build (Novo Firefly) and I know that I’d struggle with this one. I will build my 1/48 Airfix Finnish Hawk, just not in the group build time frame. Please accept my apologies. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well I was planning a Hurricane in Irish air corps service but decal's are nowhere to be found so something else will have to be found, a Lancaster in Argentine or Egyptian colour's crossed my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an Indian adaptation of a British design that IMHO does not include enough local modifications to make it instantly recognisable as something else. The two-seater Ajeet would be a different story as it was quite different from the original British design and can for this reason be considered a fully Indian development 12 hours ago, Max Headroom said: Sorry but I’ll have to withdraw from this one.

Sanjuro Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I bought it last year from them, mainly because of the RCAF Version. Bright and colorful. But the Egyptian version is also an interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There now are 14 rules Hey, I got some rule for you. What about at least short history how machine ended in foreign country and how its service went.

That's a very good idea ! I can't force modellers to do so but I've modified rule 14 asking modellers if possible to do so. This will be particularly interesting for the lesser known types or the lesser known countries, we may all learn something new. 12 hours ago, the South African said: I will have to resist MMMMMMMMMMMMMM SAAF Buc.

stevej60 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Well Mick has sorted decal's for an Irish Hurricane and is posting them soon so if they arrive safely I'll start with Hasegawa's 1/48 kit,I hate to class the Irish as "foriegn" but for the purpose of this GB they are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) While looking for Burmese Spitfire decals, I found some interesting PR/FR Spits. I had one of the kits in the stash already but needed another to justify the decals, you know how it goes. Since I have them, I'll attempt to build both a Royal Thai Air Force PR.XIX and an Indian Air Force FR.XIVe - the latter from the brief period where they used the Royal title and the 'chakra' roundel.

Here we see wings with sections marked to be cut off: And here we have smaller wingspand and cut also front to make smaller chord That is all what I done so far.

Bonhoff Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Here's a question - I'm looking at an S&M Vickers Viscount 800 in "Eagle Airways" colours that I have in the stash. Although Eagle was a British airline, this was a Bermuda registered subsidiary and the aircraft reg isn't a "G-" - It's VR-BAX Would this count?
