Tim R-T-C Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I didn't realise I hadn't signed up for this so far. I've been accumulating aircraft for a German airfield scene probably sometime in 1942 with Stukas, 109s, MC200s and a Ju52. So might be a good opportunity to get this project going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) With some luck,I managed to buy this rather rare 1/24 th Tomahawk today. This could be a build for this GB. Edited August 25, 2020 by Erwin 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne 0 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My time at the workbench has fallen to zero over the past several months. This may be the MoTivatiOn I need. Would love to join the party if I may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm sure I've signed up if not I am now,I really enjoyed Revell's 1/32 Corsair as a big single build in the recent GB so choices are something in that scale or my fall back is to build Airfix's old tool 1/48 Spitfire Vb and 109F in their MTO schemes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ok now Flickr didn't want to play with me tonight. I set up all of my MTO 3 stuff on my workbench, took a pic (directly to Flickr, which is a no-no) and packed the kits, spares, decals, masks and reference back to their drawers. Flickr never uploaded that pic... I'm in no mood to do that set again now. Glad to see this GB hit the Currents already! It's one of my favourite subjects ever. Gotta go and finish the He 111 and a Bf 110 before this gets serious, then . V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 No not another one...... This is another must do for me. I'm totally spoiled for choice. Do I go big or do I go small. I might do something different like a Ju 88C-4. Nightfigher. Really hard call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely loads to choose from Greg, look forward to seeing what you decide, the C-4 sound interesting definitely some interesting camouflage options.

klr Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 A placeholder for the kits I definitely plan to build for this (there may be more ... may be). Both Italeri, ex-ESCI tanks: Fiat M13/40 and Churchill III: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the El Alamein "King Force" subject, which is indeed my first choice, but only if I'm confident about the colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNosers352nd Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Call me crazy, but I think I might join in on this one as well. Right now I am leaning towards one of the Mid Stone/Azure Blue Martlet III's first sent to Greece then used by British. Looks like the jumping off point would be the Hobby Boss 1/48 F4F-3 (Early) kit and then modifying the cowl. Have to dig into it some more. One post I saw saying you had to do something with the windscreen. If anyone has any other thoughts on this minor conversion please let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One build said to use the late F4F-3 but swap out the early cowl ? Im not sure if the extra bits are in the box though ? If you go forward I will definitely follow the build, and if I can help in anyway let me know. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the cowl with the two inner scoops and extra flaps, no upper outer scoop. It does have the right windscreen for the -3A though. So the cowl on the Early would just need the two chin scoops removed. My other two questions is what harnesses in the seat and what type wheels. Guessing it's not a Sutton's Harness, so then did they have only the lap belt or both? Then what kinda wheels? Diamond, Block or Radial? Hard to tell in all the pictures, I'm leaning towards radial.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Ive got a clear photo showing smooth tires. I was researching this last night actually and found an old post from here in the forum. I can try to find the link again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
