I have the same two kits in front of me so will have attempt number 4. If you'll let me play. It's high time you got started on this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you so there Mojo and sanity appear to be near normal levels so maybe the tide has turned.... With the Gannet and Bolly on the go I'm confident that Airfix will announce something 1/48 related about one of them....or maybe a Corsair?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh that's a good shout. If Airfix can do the Walrus then why not a Gannet The Corsair would be another good seller for them. Maybe starting in 72nd scale then going to 48th a couple years later. Or straight to 24th scale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoolioPaulio Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm still in on this, but for various reasons I might only be entering the one build I already listed. Thanks to Covid, I now can't get to my LHS to pick up the second Corsair he was going to get in for me. Where possible, I prefer to avoid building duplicates of kits in different colours if I can, though I'm not totally against it and for the purpose of an STGB I would have happily done one on the ground and one in flight (cause it is a beautiful bird). And the final nail, I stumbled across a cheap helichopper kit on Ebay that I fell in love with, so I now have a choice of three for the Whirlybirds GB that starts the month after this. I was originally going to split it two in each GB. And SWMBO doesn't like me buying models to pile up in an unbuilt stash indefinitely, especially in this current climate, so I'm trying to build what I have bought. But on the plus side, it does make me want to put everything into this one build, and make it to the best of my abilities, even if it takes the entire GB to do it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes SWMBO’s don't like unnecessary additions to the stash, I get the eye rolls and “Really ?” from mine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Never had so many kits on the go but then again, never had so much spare time!! Anyhow, when I was flying RC, the two kits I never managed to get round to were a Stuka and a Corsair. Hence, I've built a Stuka in an earlier GB and would love to enter this one to complete the list (regardless of scale) If that's OK, I've treated myself to the following: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I had better get my act together. I have a Seafire to build for the Spitfire / Seafire STGB, a Seafire to build for the End of War GB and a Corsair to build for the Corsair STGB after I’ve finished my ‘In the Navy’ Fulmar. I’ll be glad when this pandemic is over - no time for modelling at the moment... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoolioPaulio Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I just have to finish the number plates on my Mercedes build and I've cleared the deck ready. Can fiddle about with my Space Shuttle restoration to fill the time until this starts. And I just upgraded the lighting in my spray booth last night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Laidlaw Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Finally received all of the components - kit, decals, seat and exhausts. All packed away together so I don't dive in before the start date :). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
