Col. Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 What say thee gang? We've done the 80s and 70s editions of this theme and will be doing the 60s later this year so perhaps now is the time to start talking about the 50s. This time around I propose a slight difference in that we expand slightly beyond the single decade and run from late-45 to 1959. The post-World War II 45 to 59 period will give us a broad range of interesting subjects and track a transition in not only technology but also politics and society across our geographical area as well as covering the birth of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact. 1, Col. 2, John D.C.

Wez Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Yes please, count me in, lots of lovely RAF stuff for this period, Spitfire, Mosquito, Tempest, Hornet, Meteor, Vampire, Canberra, Venom, Sabre, Hunter, Swift, Javelin, Valiant, Vulcan and Victor almost too many choices - I think It'll be able to find something! Edited February 8, 2018 by Wez 1
Sabre_days Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Please count me in...definitely down for a 439 Squadron Sabre, maybe Sabres from a few other RCAF units as well. Could also be a good excuse to build an RCN Avenger from HMCS Magnificent's airwing...maybe a Banshee / Tracker combination from Bonaventure's airwing... 1
franky boy Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Great idea Col, please count me in. I thought it was hard choosing something for the 60's but looking Wez's list above this will be even more difficult! James 1

Great to have you both joining in again lads We'll say nothing about my past record of finishing kits for GBs either if that's okay 1

Creepy Pete Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I recently got a RB-45C kit which should fit in nicely. Count me in! 1
CliffB Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Me too please Col. I've got a creaky old 50s vintage Thunderstreak kit which should do nicely. Cheers Cliff 1

zebra Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Count me in. Not sure what I’d build, probably something British, maybe a postwar Spitfire 1

Not sure what I’d build, probably something British, maybe a postwar Spitfire With pleasure zebra The good thing about this GB will be tracing the rapid changes from the immediate post-war to the height of the Cold War and all the technological advances which occured in that short space of time. From an aviation point of view that means from the ultimate piston engined fighters and their problems with the 'sound barrier' to Mach 2 and beyond. 1
modelling minion Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Be silly not to join in as I've taken part in all the others. Not sure what to build but I'm sure I'll find something interesting, probably a WWII vintage a/c still in use in the 50's, plenty to choose from. 1

Cool, glad to hear from you for this one as well, there's certainly a wide variety of potential subjects including those WWII vintage equipment which was captured or copied and pressed into service by various nations. 1
