Honestly i do know what its like as i have 6 projects on the bench now. Four in this build and two others. Yes you are but that's why I love you I'll make an effort to clear at least one of the three projects before starting any others and there is a chance another of those current ones could become a parallel build with a What-if so who knows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I was thinking a Battlestar Galactica or Pegasus, then there is a What If A400M I am thinking of as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem Dennis,I never checked out the reference section before posting,basicly nearly every aircraft ever flown is in that list! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I've just re-watched Iron Man 2. A JPS Lotus 72 is eligible for this GB. And I have one in The Stash! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 gosh seeing some of these planned Whiffy inspired builds ....... I soooo want to build one but don't have the time now the beast has taken over the bench/life! She's over 20" long (the rotor at least 30")with +1000 bits of PE!! Otherwise I'm sure I could have wangled Heinkel He-477 Zwilling "Frankenbeast" into the GB some how! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadeddrew Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Oops!.......better get started. Looks like there's going to be 2 USS Sea Tigers,as that's what I was planning on doing too @Tim R-T-C Hopefully I'll be able to make a convincing smoke effect coming out of the troublesome engine............"Always that number 1 engine" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird flushing toilet noise the engine always makes always gets me to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadeddrew Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yeah that tickled me too,at least back then I had the excuse that I was an immature callow youth.......guess I never grew up!😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre B Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Mmm... With an "Red Tail P-51D Mustang" one maybe could take part in two GB's at the same time? I am afraid I am kept bizzy as a sailmaker at my new job at North Sails for the moment. Didn't even had the time to get the kit that I want. But still have some hope to start a build albeit some weeks later... Cheers / André 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Probably won't have time to build it, but would a TSR2 in service with 617 Squadron RAF with Tornado style pods, laser seeker etc (as it might have been in 1979 or even a bit later) be eligible?

Would that be a dual build for this and the P-51 Stgb ? If so I have no issues as the markings would be good for both “The Tuskegee Airmen” & “Red-Tails”.

Pete I believe it fits right in with the WHIF rule as ive quoted. “What If IV: The only rule is the subject can't have existed (in completed form) in reality. or The departure from reality can be as subtle as fictional markings.” I think you're all good sir, i hope you can get around to it as it should be an interesting choice. I assume Dk. Green/Grey wraparound will be the objective here ? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
