The finish date is actually 7 October, not 23 Sept. So I have erased all evidence of that error on the GB forum. Great news With the extra 2 weeks that should be plenty of time to complete one of these; With only 353 parts, and the need to knit your own rigging I can't think why we haven't seen a couple of these already Cheers Pat 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 All that means is that I need to keep running the ‘Build List’ for another two weeks!! Oh well, good thing I actually enjoy doing this. OK you measly lot , off to the loft you all go to dust of those decrepit Airfix classic boxes, let’s see what else we can add and perhaps top the 150 build mark!! Cheers and thanks Enzo (I think?)..

In any case the Pacific Theatre GB starts tomorrow andI'm commited to a scratch build in that of my old man's ship at the Japanese surrender in Singapore.

airfixpeter Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 But I do have one of these in the stash no instructions with it so that will be fun. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The front is round, the back is square and the wheels go underneath. How hard can it be? (I bet @Heather Kay has a set of destructions stashed away) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kay Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 No, stashed is correct. Sadly, not for that model. Mind you, it’s GWR, so how hard can it be? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave That's lucky If it was a British Rail version it would only turn up when it wanted to, subject to delays due the wrong type of snow and leaves on the line ! cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 7 October? 5 weekends, a public holiday, at least one day off in that time. Plenty of time to get the Caravelle finished, and maybe something else. 737, Conet or Belvedere... decisions, decisions... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave That’s what I’m leaning towards - trouble is, I want to make it into a production Belvedere, not sure I’ll have time. But I think I’ll give it a go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Yeah - there are a few differences between the two. I’m sure I have an article somewhere on what needs to be done, perhaps in an early issue of SAM. Do you have references at hand, would you like me to try and find it? Cheers..

zebra Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Whilst I’m thinking about this, does anyone know when the 737-200 was released? Scalemates and the Airfix Tribute Forum don’t differentiate between the -100 or -200 but I think the original 1969 Lufthansa release was a -100 and it became a -200 in 1973 - can anyone confirm please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Ok sounds like you’ve got what you need and a little extra time to boot! I’ll look forward to see what you decide on but think you’ve already played your hand on this one. If this Beaver gets finished in time I’m thinking of going again as well. This is lots of fun!
