Not enough of them so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Gone away for a cheeky skiing holiday and as a last minute thought threw a kit and some basic tools into the case....good thing too as I managed to smash myself up on the third run and spent the rest of the day in hospital 😟. Anyway my question is whether an Eduard Mig 15bis from Jag 11 in East Germany in 1956 qualified for this GB. The reason I ask is that the Eduard blurb refers to Jag 11 as a training unit. If so am I outside the scope of this build? Col word of wisdom please. Very relaxed if the answer is no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out to be so successful that no replacement was sought until 1952 with the production of the Daimler Ferret.” Seems like they stayed in use. Just not sure where ?

Dennis The GB includes anything in-service during the period running from the end of WW.II to 31st December 1959, so if you can find markings for one during that period it's eligible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find evidence of a post-war example I'd be delighted to see you do it fir this GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 While I'm not an AFV fan at all, I was intrigued to find out what a "Dingo" was After a bit of googling found this http://www.daimler-fighting-vehicles.co.uk/DFV-File Part By - History 1945-1970's BAOR.pdf Looks like they were used in BAOR till the late 60's, some nice period pics there as well if you scroll about Lot more info on the main site as well http://www.daimler-fighting-vehicles.co.uk/ Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz23 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I've got an Academy F-86F in 1/72, started but I'd like to add it to this GB as an incentive to complete it. It's well below 25% completed. I've been searching hannants for a set of decals, found some for a Greek F-86E I might use, was there any major differences visually between the E and F?

Greek Sabre's were Sabre 2's with the hard wing leading and wing fence, they are broadly equivalent to the F-86E(M), @Giorgio N is building this kit in this thread here as an Italian ex-RAF Mk4. The major obvious difference between the Sabre 2 and the 4 is the windscreen, the 2's had the earlier more streamlined type commonly referred to as the Vee-type windscreen because of its shape, it was used on A and early E models (the latter of which the Sabre 2 is an equivalent). Duncan @Sabrejet has been converting the 1/48th Academy F into an A and describes the windscreen differences very well with lots of helpful reference pictures, His thread is here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Cockpit & gun barrel/pitot detail kits ordered for the Aero S-105. Hopefully it'll make its way to the hangar for assembly in the next couple weeks. I'll have to see if I can keep it "simple" and just try to get one knocked out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lloyd Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm searching for a Czechmaster Resin Supermarine Scimitar. I did find one only for over 100 euros, I'm hoping to pay something in the vicinity of half that. Y'all let me know if you see one, okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I jumped into the GB section hoping to find a KUTA GB, but no. Buttocks. I really shouldnt buy and start another box of bits, but would a Meteor FR9 be ok should I have my arm twisted? It would sit well in my II Squadron collection.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well given my Canberra is a bust before it even got going I need something else to build, only thing I can think of on local shelves is an italeri f-84g, not sure I fancy a nmf build though.......
