Remember we are working from late '45 onwards here Stu so anything involved then is good including Spitfires, Tempests, Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Meteors, Avia S-92...

Forgot the 40s also count, I’ll keep looking though I am considering the firedog beuafighter in the same colours as the Canberra that’s obviously outside of this GBs scope now.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few being built in this GB and the 60s edition that will be worth having a look at as a few minor fit issues have come to light 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 We now have a month remaining of our GB gang. There's a good selection of finished models in the gallery, 28 at my count, plus plenty more getting close to finished. Anyone else up for a last-minute project? This edition of our theme will have seen it run from the 80s right back to late 45 but is anyone up for a 90s edition? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I've got a Farmer that may try to get out of the box yet. And you know I'd be down for a '90s...even though I always seem to be strapped for time. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Got a space cleared on the bench and also stumbled across some reference material I had picked up from a local used bookstore a while back that I had forgotten about. 😅 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Good thing I went and double checked the dates...I don't think I'd be able to satisfactorily complete the MiG-19/S-105 in time. My brain was thinking end of May...not in 2 weeks. 😅 I've got a 1/72 Meteor PR Mk.10 & a 1/72 Vampire FB.52 in the stash w/ applicable decals in the box. I'll have to take a closer look (and dry fit) of some of the parts and see if I can realistically toss one together in a couple weeks w/ my limited free time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity we won't see your MiG-19/S-105 here but the Meteor or Vampire are equaly welcome if you do decide to go with one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yeah, it's going to take a fair bit of work. The fit of the fuselage wasn't the greatest, plus the pit is actually designed for the Trumpy kit which means there is going to be a bunch more fiddling around there. I would probably need to be on vacation the next 2 weeks, not working 65-75 hours a week right now. I think I'm going to take a crack at building a Finnish Vamp. Fit up looks fair, and doesn't appear to be a very complicated kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
