IanHx Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I've got an Airfix kit that contains the word 'Interceptor' in the title... can I ? Or is this GB restricted to real aircraft rather than Gerry Anderson creations ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interceptors, fighters, or equipment used to shoot down air and space craft in films and books are fine for this one so your Angel Interceptor is most welcome Ian.

MADMUSKY Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Was going to go old school and build an Aeroclub Lightning F6, but having just checked the contents just found the canopy has gone Yellow. Don't suppose anyone has a spare canopy lying about? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tucker Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I assume a Nakajima KI87 - ii described on Wikipedia as "a Japanese high-altitude fighter-interceptor of World War II" would be an acceptable group build entry? It arrived in the post last week If so, count me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Hills Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I have dug my Kora Vickers 432 kit out and lo and behold the wooden fuselage plug that I turned down 25 years ago was in the box. The kit one looks much better but at least it shows willing ! (About that time I tried making a Saro Princess in 1/72 in fibreglass from a femail mould I made - but that didn't survive my emigration back to UK from Canada) I have a lot of group builds on the plate right now as well as a 1/1 scale four bedroom house to decorate so I am glad this build isn't starting too soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having a very small plastic kit of one that came in a cereal box. I think it was only an inch long. This was perfectly acceptable in the 1970s ! Undeniable symbolism !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I have a slew of 1/144 jets in the stash including two F14s and an F22 as well as an Su27 so sign me up. Has to be something there if not several somethings So I do have a question would a BE12 or a Sopwith Comic or for that matter a Supermarine Nighthawk qualify as interceptors? All three were developed/designed solely to shoot down Zeppelin’s if so then I have three much more interesting candidates Edited October 14, 2020 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
