So could you please count me in? Looking forward to build a P-40! Haven't done that since I was a young teenager! Cheers JR Hello Jean Welcome aboard ..

Wez Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I've given this STGB some thought, I was torn between a Tomahawk or a Kittyhawk, I have the Airfix P-40B/C in both 1/72nd and 1/48th in the stash as well as all of the releases of Special Hobby's recent Kittyhawk series however, driving to work the other day I was reminded of this piece of local history and legend.... So my subject will be the "Spitfire" of Winchester's Spitfire Bridge fame aka Tomahawk AH851 SP-F of 404Sqn RCAF based at RAF Odiham in 1941. Now, I need to decide whether I do it in 1/72nd or 1/48th... Edited April 13, 2019 by Wez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi All (GB Mods) This GB is a little over a month away, and I've signed up for it, the question have is this: I have this kit that has been on the SOD (Shelf of Doom...) for some time now, and was wondering if this would fit the 25% rule (only this much has been done for the kit, wing etc all still undone)? - Reason I ask is, that if it fits, I can fully complete in the GB instead of starting/buying a new kit I would finish it as NZ3008 (HQ-B) Umslopogaas (Photo copyright RNZAF Museum - used for illustration purposes only) Thanks/regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good morning Alan I think that we can say your build is under 25 % so you will be able to finish it for this GB .. All the best Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckb1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi, would love to participate in this. Think the picture on the left says it all. I have dug deep in the stash of P-40 goodness from 1/72 to 1/24 and have, after much pondering decided on the Vintage Fighter Series P-40B plus a bit of resin, decals and other bits and bobs. It has a fair bit wrong with it out of the box but I am willing to mash the plastic and give it a go. I am planning on doing a RAF Desert Air Force scheme, I need to get my Mojo back and this could be it. Last year I bought kits but work got in the way massively. So, please if possible count me in. Would love to participate in this. B🐝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckb1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thanks Patrice, I am going to start rummaging for all the bits and bobs I got for it years ago. The build is on! Kind Regards B🐝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well I'll be building this kit. Not sure if i will go with the kits markings ? I have an option of a lend-lease VVS P-40. Would love to scrounge either 112 squadron or AVG decals, so I'm still open to the markings. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Way over committed with GB builds at the moment Patrice but hope to slip in a couple of 1/72 late series p40's before the GB's end. Edited August 18, 2019 by stevej60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Patrice you best find Enzo and get him to pin this chat thread to the top. For some reasons Host can't do this, else this thread gets lost as other builds are added. I'm trying to resist the urge to build, I'm really looking forward to this one!

gingerbob Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Rich, no need to resist now! I just popped over to "Group Builds" and was surprised to see this one as a current event. I'm honor-bound to join in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 hopefully you'll complete this one in time Bob, you do get stuck sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Well, I've got a 1/48 Hasegawa E started (tail joined to fuselage halves, a couple of other bits), which is farther than I got on the last group build I was interested in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hmm didn’t see this one coming, I shall look out for a kit, but also I’ve got an old corgi legends p-40 I’ve always wanted to convert the fixed down gear into the up position and give it a repaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Dam it guys. I have tried real hard for the last hour to resist this GB, but I'm weak. Can I join with my 1/48 Hasegawa P40 N Gloria? Looks like I will have to pull out of the Film GB if I do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
