Yes it does. So long as you don't hang any bombs under it ;)

Ha! Good Point! :) That's great, thanks, I might just pull the trigger on buying Eduard's new kit then! :)

This has possible already been asked, but does the MiG-21PFM qualify for this?

 

Thanks!

In MiG-21PFM "PFM" stands for abbreviation as variant - Perechvatcik Frontovoi Modernizirovaniy or on English -

 Interceptor Front-line Modernized, so it's interceptor from birth!

 

Although according to modern concepts, it probably should be attributed to   

air superiority fighters, as I think.

If this isn't a good reason for me to start my Lightning (the BAC variety), I don't know what is. Sign me up please!.

Are you too tempted to get started Erwin? Sure you can find some other options before we get going if you do ;)

Dam!!! big is the understatement here!!!  

 

Though many years ago I did come across a 1/18th or larger full resin Me-262 in Singapore (think it may have even been 1/12th!). Don't know how made it and haven't been able to find out anything about it since. Know it was really expensive....gosh I now really wish I had bought it!!

You would have had to have bought an extra seat on the aircraft to bring it home mate, if it was resin !

Yes but you don't need airport parking you just drive right in to the aircraft and take it with you !

A question for the hosts:

 

This GB is for certain types of planes(interceptors).Not an era or ToO.

How much can I differ from an actual paint sheme ? But still within the idea of the GB.

 

I plan to build the 1/18 th Hobby Boss Me 262.

But I want to paint it without actual prove that it ever flew in that paintsheme.

 

But still very German-style.

Let's call it "The pilot's choice"

If the scheme is representative of those used by the type I've no issue with your plan Erwin :)

Hi, definitely some interest here, lots in the stash that could work, from both sides of the Cold War.

 

quick query - would a two seat Lightning (T4/T5)  be acceptable? Used for training but same combat capability as a single seater as far as I’m aware.

 

thanks!

Having just received the decals, I'll definitely be entering a 23 Sqn Javelin (and also have the decals for a 23 Sqn Lightning).

 

You might spot a possible theme that will continue in the Tornado and MTO (and possibly BofB) group builds!

Given that the T4 and T5 versions were capable of performing the interceptor role they are indeed eligible :)
