Back in the Saddle Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I shall grab one from my stash and join in, if I may? I have 9 days to plan, and hopefully finish one or two other models on the bench first to make some room! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi, I have an Airfix Mk1a and was thinking about a quick build in prototype colours. Would that fit the GB? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hi Wimbledon99 Of course you can build the Airfix Spit in the prototype colours (I am not an expert of the Spit prototypes but I think that the Airfix kit need some modifications ...)

Magua87 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've got far too much on the go to join in. But then again, that Spitfire Mk.22 is just dying to be built... and I am stuck at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Can't we start this GB right now ? Most of us must stay at home all day due to the coronavirus. I'm getting bored . Edited April 4, 2020 by Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same but it would probably be to difficult for the organisers and all the other modellers who are still involved in other GBs. 58 minutes ago, Erwin said: I'm getting bored How about watching a film? Last Sunday I watched 'The First of the Few', a great period Spitfire drama starring Leslie Howard and David Niven. Some great Spitfire footage and even some of the Schneider Trophy planes. Just don't expect complete historical accuracy! The 2018 film Spitfire was very good and there must be other Spitfire films out there as well (but don't watch The Battle of Britain - got to save that for the BoB Group Build!)

Aren't most of us involved in multiple GB's ? Watching a film ? I watched this one on You Tube yesterday. Very good !

alt-92 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I just noticed in the rules it's specified as one thread per build (separate them out or at least not post 'm in the same thread). That throws a bit of a spanner in my planned idea unfortunately and spills a lot of beans ahead of the game, but I'll oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Not sure if this has been covered already but is a Seafang eligible for this GB ? cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wondered the same about the Spiteful. They are both clearly developments of the original Spitfire which was continually developed throughout its life. And both are covered in Morgan and Shacklady's book. But they did have the completely new wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 We will have to wait for Patrice this GB's nominated grown up to tell us. Do you have a Spiteful ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there are two kits, AZ and Pegasus, not sure I fancy the latter one. Similarly, there's a Trumpeter and CMR Seafang. I'm not sure that I'll ever realise my youthful ambition to make every mark of Spitfire, but I can at least try to collect them all. I'd vote for them to be included Patrice @TEMPESTMK5 . I don't suppose we'll be swamped by them! Were you thinking of doing the Seafang Pat, if OKd? Edited April 4, 2020 by Johnson More stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I have too many builds in various GBs already but, when else will i get a chance to build it ? So if its allowed im in ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good morning I must admit that I don't know much about the Spiteful and Seafang but as they are clearly developments of the original Spitfire I think that we can accept them in the GB I will add them in the Welcome and Rules Thread ...

Good morning alt 92 I am sorry about this point but after the P 51 Mustang STGB I realized that it would make it easier to follow the progress of the different builds ... I hope that you will manage to build as many kits as you had planned anyway .. All the best Patrice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @TEMPESTMK5 Hi Patrice, I was not one of the original signatories for this group build, and wondered if it was OK for me to jump in at this late stage? I have a couple of 1/72 kits a Mk. IX and a Mk.22, and I am sure that somewhere I have two 1/48 kits, but the search for those goes on. As a starter I think that the Mk. IX would be my first choice and the kit decals include a Dijon based aircraft, but don't let that influence your decision in any way.

Rafwaffe Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm Torn between a 1/72 PR XIX and a MK VII for this build... Glad I have a few more days to think it over (and get distracted by the models of every other Mark sitting in my stash...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
