Angus Tura Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Some of the huge stock pile of vampires that I couldn't squeeze in to the 1960s build! Maybe very late/PR Scottish-themed spitfire. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 COL!!!!!!!! I had been avoiding the GB Chat section for just this reason......another GB I'm interested in! God knows what I'll build but I guess you'd better could me in as well. Not sure what I have in the stash, but I do have a 1/48th resin F-86D? Not sure if they were used in Europe, guess someone can answer that for me, still don't have my library back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, you know you want to join this GB! yes I know I do!! I went looking as well, but I was mainly interested in the F-86K as I really want to build the Luftwaffe version, but these weren't operational until 1960. I have the Collect-Aire version which comes with two fuselages, one for the D/L versions and the other for the K version. They supply the long wings so you just cut them back for the short wing D. I may just build this one for the NATO 60's GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember we're going from VJ Day 1945 to 31st December 1959 so its scope is slightly wider than previous editions and if there isn't anything in the stash there'll be time to gather something cool before this one is through the end of year vote and finds a position within the calendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just build this one for the NATO 60's GB. Have a good look at the wings. As I know from my two builds in the past. The Dutch versions started with short wings and later in their life they got the long ones. The give away with Dutch ones was that when you saw it with sidewinder pylons it had the long wing. I don't know about the Germans though. It could also be that they were already delivered with the long wings?! So do a good research before you put a saw in it. I hope I haven't scared you off. You can always put this one inthe 60's GB that starts in July. O, for this GB you can always do a normal Sabre in German camo.

trickyrich Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 no the Luftwaffe first received F-86K's with the short wings, but later ones had the long wing. The early ones were eventually modified to have the long wings. To save cutting up good resin (and I never do that! ) I'll do a long wing version. Ultimately I want this one to go along side a Hartmann F-86 or more correctly Canadair Sabre Mk.50 Jg 71, which might be a possibility for this GB (entered service 1959?). Eventually there'll be a 109 to go with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Chaps, although I've been on here a while, I'm not exactly sure what is meant by a 'group build'. What are the rules, and can anyone join in? 50s (and 60s) RAF is my thing! Edited April 11, 2018 by Lord Riot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 GB's are easy to join. Since you are a fan of the 1950s RAF, why not jump into the 100 Years of the RAF GB? Just go to the 'Group Builds' section of the forum and there is a RAF Centenary thread. Read up on the rules and start a build thread of your own. Lots of fun all around! -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the rules, and can anyone join in? 50s (and 60s) RAF is my thing! First of all, nice line-up! Every Group Build is basically a group of us getting together to build subjects on a common theme during a set timescale, so in this case any frontline military hardwear deployed in Europe from immediately after the end of World War Two until the end of 1959, offering mutual support and having a laugh as we share our progress through the build threads then showing the finished articles in a gallery before having a poll at the end that allows us to choose (if we wish) a favourite. Anyone can join so long as their subject kit is no more than 25% progressed and fits within the broad theme. I'll pop your name into the list of interested parties and while this is no binding contract that forces you to participate should the GB make it through the November poll to choose next year's GB subject list it will help us make that poll and be eligible for voting In the meantime there are, as John says, other GBs you are most welcome to take part in which suit your area of interest including the current RAF Centenary GB and the forthcoming 60's edition of the NATO Vs Warpact in Europe GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
