Fatcawthorne Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Can I play, can I play, can I play???? Off the top of my head (and all in 1/48) the choice from the stash is: Lightning T4/5s Harrier T.10s Typhoon 2 Seaters Jet Provosts SA Bulldog Gnats Hawks Jaguar 2 Seaters Magister Battle Trainer Anson Meteor T7 Now in my mind the biggest ommision is the T7 Hunter, note to self - must do better! Now to spend the next 20 months or so working out which of these will be chosen to spectacularly fail to get finished within the deadline!!! You can count on my vote! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the GB. You may not have 20 months to decide though- we're definitely over the threshold now and will/should be eligible for this year's vote. If we push our luck, we could get an early 2019 slot. 2019 is <gulp> less than 3 months away. Whoops... can't be totally legit until we've got at least one co-host. Anyone care to help me shoulder the burden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifer54 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Count me in too, please! A quick glance at the stash reveals Hawks, J-Ps, a 2-seat Harrier and an Aero L-39 Albatros! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash check, off the top of my head, 2 Chipmunks, 3 Jet Provosts, 1 Gnat and a WHIF idea, a Hawk, decals for black ones, - then several others of all generations, a T-33 and SeaStar, a Lightning T4. Some might get built during other GBs, others might be obtained in the meantime, but I'm sure I'll be with you. As Enzo would say "BUILD THEM ALL ! " cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Room for another one? Still thinking aircraft but hopefully something a bit different, how about a TB-25 Mitchell in post war USAF markings? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still thinking aircraft but hopefully something a bit different, how about a TB-25 Mitchell in post war USAF markings? Those TB-25s got quite a bit of extra mileage post-war, didn't they? (I looked 'em up. ) As long as there's some sort of training unit reference photo or decal sheet or whatever, one of those old birds would be just peachy.

Over here smashing one of those gets you a P45 unless you have a VERY good reason. The front mounted cycle rack is a genius idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy_J Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'd like to join this, if I may? I've a handful of Jet Provosts and Gnats I got from Aldi last Christmas ... but a turretless Chieftain might be more interesting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Nimrod and Chrissy, welcome to the GB! We don't have a start date yet (technically, we don't even know if we have a start yet, but given the discussion that's been happening about GBs this year we should be on for next year), but do feel free to start your planning. I'll give everyone a shout a few weeks before we do kick off as a reminder, and Enzo has a thread somewhere in the GB section that you can subscribe to to be kept notified of what's going on GB-wise. @Chrissy_Ja turretless training Chieftain would be highly appropriate for the GB, especially as I want to get people thinking a bit this go around. As long as it can be proved to be a training vehicle, it's in! (Although JPs and Gnats etc are also most welcome.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That always applied to every GB - even the ones at the end of the year. I'm considering a T-2 Buckeye for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
