PeterB Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I have quite a few 1/72 Spits as well as a Seafire F47 in my stash so I will try and remember this GB in a few months time. Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A certain well known model supplier in Lowestoft just got stock of the Sword Seafire collection in 1/72 (Mk.IIc, III, XV (x2) and XVII) - which I had on backorder! I've been waiting to build a Seafire IIc for a while, so please add me to the list. Cheers, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'd be in if I knew what an stgb is as opposed to a GB I have a nice 1/48 bubble top spit in the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 3 months is ample time, so maybe I’m mistaken? STGB is a Single Type Group Build, so in this case you are only allowed to build Spitfires and Seafires. A GB would be themed, so for instance the upcoming Battle of Britain, where you can model any aircraft, vehicle, ship, scene (snapshot of the time) as you like within the BoB timeframe.

Good afternoon Marklo Welcome aboard .. STGB means Single Type Gb during the future Spitfire Seafire STGB you can Only build a Spitfire or a Seafire whatever the subtype and it last only 3 months ..on the opposite a Gb is dedicated to a wider subject for example during the future Battle of Britain Gb you will be to build whatever type of aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain ..

825 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I think at last count I had at least 12 Seafires in the stash, all 1:72 apart from a single Airfix 1:48 one. Also a small number of Spits, which were earmarked for conversion to Seafires before Admiral, AZ models and Sword started producing Seafires like there is no tomorrow. I also have some CMK resin Seafires as well. Looks like a major opportunity for stash reduction. Count me in.

JeroenS Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 OK, after some internal debate I've decided to take the plunge and sign up. There's still a bit of space in between the Nordic GB and the Heller Classic GB 🙂 .... So let's just make 2020 a group build year then. I haven't built an aircraft since I was about 12 I think. I remember building a Stuka and also some blue thing of which I have absolutely no idea what it was. My builds always kept the colour they had when the plastic came out of the box 😋... and they always fell apart after a couple of months. But: I think the time has come to redeem myself in the aircraft department, and a Spitfire seems just the right subject for it. So count me in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about the new Tamiya 1/48 scale though! This being my first plane I think that one would suit me well. Edit: it has been ordered, wow my first aircraft, it's starting to sink in 😉 Edited February 12, 2020 by JeroenS Order info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
