OH! Yes You are very welcome Paul.

In the mists of time i actually entered one of these into the Model Engineers Exhibition competitions. Fortunately, in hindsight, the package didn't withstand the rigours of Royal Mail so the viewing public were saved from scrutinising a badly constructed kit, badly painted. My entry to the GB will be 1:48, i have both Classic Airframes and Airfix kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As an ex crab I’ll join in with this GB if you’ll have me. Not sure about aircraft type yet but it’ll be 1/48 or 1/32. Looks like a good excuse to buy more plastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard... I’ll now delve into the ‘Chilly Bin’ and raise a toast to that! Cheers from the other side of the globe.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you mean chully bun Dave Really looking forward to this, I'll be using the new tool Airfix 1/72 Spit I kit with the 3D-Kits conversion set.

Smithy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Very true Robert. As well as the Commonwealth types we need the Norwegians, Americans, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, French, Belgians, Greeks, Dutch, and those from the former Yugoslavia! Plus there was the odd Irish boy flying with the RAF as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltadefender Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 On second thoughts I might go in reverse from youngest to oldest. Looks like it will be a busy year of building! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollitt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If possible I'd like to sign up for this? I've never done a group build before but this seems like a great one to get started in. I'm thinking about maybe doing the Eurofighter Typhoon but perhaps from the 2015 markings for J Nicolson. That might change though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to see a jet offered, we need a few more modern types, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Would an 'Egg' Spitfire qualify? Doing a P47 later in the year but wanted to check before I invest Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 @wimbledon99 I'd love to see you build something for this GB, and you'd be very welcome. As to the 'Egg' Spitfire, can find a photo of one in service? If not, then, I'm sorry, but no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
