Possibly Apocryphal Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 One quick question: does reconnaissance encompass observation types such as the Henschel Hs-126? Â Cheers, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm thinking of joining in here with a F-100F, Wild Weasel I. That should fit nicely I hope! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is creeping up on us and I've been thinking (always a bad idea!), I may have another crack at an AFV instead of my usual, and preferred, Wingy-Thingy(my previous two AFV featured GB's never got finished). This time it'll be something on wheels, an IBG 1/35th Marmon Herrington MkII Armoured Car, with figures! This is just a maybe mind and subject to change!  Davey.

trickyrich Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 a change can sometimes do wonders, I had had really poor form with AFV's until I build the ZSU-57-2. It was the first AFV I'd manage to finish in under a year and a thoroughably enjoyable build it was too. So much so I'm building 5 this year! Â It's a cool looking armoured car you've chosen, I look forward to seeing it in the build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Hello to All I think to enter in this GB with a FL 282 V-21 Kolibri 1/35 Miniart, not much seen ! Â Ettore Edited January 28, 2019 by Ettore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 that's an interesting choice. I've seen one of these built, they're a really nice model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WombatWal Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi All  I would be interested in entering with a Sherman Firefly if that is permissible as a tank killer.  Cheers  WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Oh my word, things are getting out of hand.    I've already made choices for each category in this GB. That should be enough - but nooooooo....    I've had so much fun building Hellcats in the Grumman GB that I'm now seriously considering building an F6F-5P and F6F-5N in this GB...   3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prenton Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi Rich - as this GB is coming up - just checkin'  Would this be acceptable in the recon quadrant for the GB?? (So far as I know, these aircraft were purely recon birds, and are kits that are very RARELY (if ever) seen built on the forum...)   Thanks,  Philip 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi Philip,  that will be fine, that model was a dedicated Recon bird, super unusual and as you say rare. I've never seen one built before and didn't even know there was a model out their of one.  So go for it  , it'll be great to see one of these built and in the gallery.

Dermo245 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi Rich, Is a Police Chopper acceptable in the Recon category? I know it's not technically 'reconnaisance' (more like observation) but thought I would ask. Have plenty others that would qualify so no stress if not!  Cheers, Dermot    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 How about a Red Army bren carrier with a Boys .55in anti tank rifle substituted for the bren? Â Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 it's probably taking that theme to the extreme....but if you really want to build it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been turned into the cutest little tank destroyer ever, hasn't it? I might change my mind when I start putting the tracks together - apparently they're individual links, which at this scale are going to be 3mm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 hmmm....not the sort of thing to come a cross a Tiger in!  Oh dear I just realised this is a 1/72nd scale model!!!!  I've been reading a review on one of them, yeah individual tracks and I reckon saying 3mm wide is being very generous for this scale!  This is a review of one of the other versions...  https://www.onthewaymodels.com/reviews/IBG/EFerrer_IBG_UniversalCarriers_review.htm    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
