Jackster Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Count me in, if a 1/48 1963 111 Sqn BAC Lightning F1 is acceptable? I had the pleasure of serving on 111 Sqn in the early '90s, I was born in 1963 so that is my tie-in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ‘63 Frightening is more than acceptable Jackster - and that’s one lovely way to tie your birth year to your proud service. Thanks for popping by and apologies for the late pick-up to your post.

JOCKNEY Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi Dave I have been playing hard to get with this but I finally succumbed. Please put me down for 1965. 1965 Aviation Fact North American XB-70 Valkyrie achieves Mach 3 1965 kit release Frog Northrop Black Widow P-61B Now before you say build the Valkyrie, yes I have the 1/72 AMT kit but it's over a yard long even in 1/72 scale !! cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 As one of the younger members perhaps I should enter this thread I give a slightly more modern take, problem is I have no idea what my year (1993) could entail.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a start for you, courtesy of Wikipedia. Vehicles introduced in 1993: 30 aircraft, 36 cars, 9 locomotives, 9 motorbikes and 78 ships. There might be one or two suitable subjects in that lot. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with them in 1968 . V-P Oh now it seems (Mrs.) Santa has made the pick for me, a 1968 it is but a Ponycar... See ya after Christmas .

Colin W Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think this is a cracking idea for a group build. I checked out aviation events for 1965 and only 1 significant plane had its first flight in the year. the BN Islander! By good fortune Valom have just released it in 1/48 scale so this will be my subject for the GB. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi, I'd like to chip in with an entry for 1962 if I may? The first flight of the Bristol Type 188 was in April of '62 and I have a 1/72 vacform lurking somewhere in the stash, not sure who the manufacturer is though..🤔 Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 OK chaps.. I must sincerely apologise for my BM tardiness over this last month. It's been a combination of taking family holidays and gearing up for a busy Christmas not to mention a few consecutive days of modelling dramas and stuff ups that had me (once again) questioning why I do this to myself? I promise I'll pick myself up and get going once again however in modelling terms, the last month of 2018 has not been great so I'm hoping the start of 2019 changes things. I have neglected the wonderful addition of the following members to this up and coming GB, so I thank the following for putting their hand up and coming up with some excellent subject choices. 61. 1965 - @JOCKNEY (Frog P-61B Black Widow) 62. 1965 - @Colin W (Britten Norman Islander) 63. 1962 - @Jinxman (Bristol Type 188) 64. 1960 - @stevej60 (RN Skyraider AEW.1) Again - please accept my apologies for not updating this list earlier and thanks for choosing to participate when this whole show rolls along. Cheers.. Dave 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin W Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Santa came up with the goods and now the Islander has landed in Thailand. Kit anyway. Looks good so just need to decide on a scheme. Military UK, military Thailand, civil NZ or civilian yellow as famously used in the Channel islands? Actually too many choices. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ll look forward to seeing the Islander Colin. I’ve not long found one of the old Airfix Kits however a nice big new tooled model seems like a better place to start. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) OK - I've done thinking about what I will be building for this GB : The year was 1962, the kit is the 1/72 Italeri B-58 and the decals are from Caracal!
