trickyrich Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 ok the F86K is out for this one, it's going in the 60's GB, so now it'll probably be a Luftwaffe F-84F. Hopefully some manufacturer would have released a good one finally or it'll be the Hobby Boss one with lots of extras.......or I found something else! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Several IS-3s in the stash.....This seems like the best place to build 'em! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I might do a B-36 from monogram in 1/72 scale for this GB. O, Rich if you do the F-84F, you can always do the monogram one. Hehe You just need to rescribe it. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, wonder if it was the Italeri one I'd read was a mess, sure a rescribe job wouldn't be outwith your skill-set though Rich 17 hours ago, PhantomBigStu said: Sure I’ll consider this one, perhaps a lakenheath supersabre Good choice Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With either the HB or Italeri one I think I could hobble something together, or I go something completely different. Anything as long as it's not a NMF plane!

Poor Arnold has either gone completely bonkers or he's got a new cookie recipe! That'll be HUGE!!! But it would look impressive. But then I can't talk I nearly bought a Zoukei Skyraider (still will). I've so gotta come up some more space for everything! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Col, Definitely up for this. ...late mark spitfire...vampire... You'll have to watch the title, I think, because, I think, the Warsaw pact was signed in 1955. I would prefer 1945-50 to be separate because there is so much great stuff there, but maybe its better to have one bigger do like this with a better chance in the vote.

So since NATO was signed in '49, anything from spring 49 - spring 55 is out on the NATO side as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cool Understand what you mean about the title being perhaps confussing but I'm trying to retain the common theme which has ran through the previous editions and proved popular so far. I did, however, think the late-45 to 1949 period was a little too narrow in focus to support a GB of its own but fitted better into this GB as part of the link charting the changes post WWII and the emergance of the Cold War. 23 hours ago, John D.C.

Anything used by the various nations which went on to be part of NATO and the Warsaw Pact is good for this one. Hopefully we'll all discover a little bit more about the formation of the two organisations and their backgrounds while having fun building models of the equipment they used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Anyone else keen to join this one? Having had a lot of fun with the 80s and 70s editions and the 60s about to start this coming Saturday a late 40s/50s would not only complete the set but also give us a chance to model some rather cool subjects from an interesting era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
