I can always do two builds if it helps! But I agree, we must try to get this one going, after all, the Airfix Golden Years GB has been brilliants, and I know there are a LOT of Frog kits I have never built! All the best, and anybody else - please sign up! Ray Apologies Ray Complete muppetry on my part ! Unless you have a preference I will remove you number 20 and keep you foundation membership of number 8. cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hopefully my mojo will be back by the time this GB gets going. If so, I have a Novo Proctor, seeing as I missed out on the recent new tool kit, to add to others I see that have been mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Go on then, put me down for a go I know I've got a couple (at least) of frog/novo kits in the loft but not sure what, will be 50s/60s RAF jets though I think, Lightning, Meteor, Hunter possibly 🤔 If not I can always get hold of something Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built a Novo Proctor a while ago the kit was no trouble but I'm afraid the decals desolved on contact with water. Might be worth searching for suitable replacements cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to do a post war RAF one or maybe a Civvy one if I can find suitable scheme so no worries about the kit decal. 'Hundreds of years' ago I did build a proper Frog one but it went to where kits die at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) I also have an Eastern Express Sea Venom... I am pretty sure I never built FROG kits as a youngster. My father probably did when I was young. I think mine were almost always Airfix. Maybe FROG was more common in the UK. Edited September 9, 2018 by John D.C.

Hi John Sea Venom is a great choice, I haven't built an eastern express kit before, so look forward to seeing this one. I remember buying FROG kits in the Republic of Ireland as a nipper so they couldn't all have stayed in the UK ! We just need to get enough votes in the poll to let the fun begin cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 In celebration of this GB getting to the voting stage, the original 1973 Frog Canberra B (I) 8 has been duely ordered as promised! I'm starting to think that this Frog GB might end up a bad idea. Cheers.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Count me in (and thanks for the shameless plug on the Airfix Golden Years GB). I am spoiled for choice from the stash on this one but I might start with a Westland Wallace... Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have 'found' a FRog Lancaster but I know there is no Tallboy bomb with the kit as I gave that away a few years back . . . . I also have several Novo Lancasters in the smaller scale so I guess you could include me in this GB if you would please. PS I also have some Whitley bomber from a Russian manufacturer so I'm guessing they would be former FROG mouldings ?? Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my database tells me there are 48 unbuilt FROG/FROG derivatives in the stash, so lots to choose from when the time comes. Now, being a little controversial, would an Academy Avenger or Wildcat qualify? The parts are completely interchangeable with the Froggy, stand fast engraved panel lines. The Wildcat even has the stand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
