wimbledon99 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Just dropped in to check on the start date now that I've finished by Heller GB. No worries; I've enough time to fill the bath for washing the sprues! 🚰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi Erwin, Having seen this kit in development in a TV programme I will be interested to see it being built - good luck! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recieved the kit today. So many parts and options the choose from. This won't be an easy build ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I assume a tornado f3 counts as an interceptor, times running out and being yet to start on one in the tornado GB Id like to save it for this and focus on the GR4 which I’m also yet to start, won’t be the only entry for this, got a couple of others that should I be simple builds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filler Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Probably pie in the sky, but I’d love to join with an F-15C which despite being an air superiority fighter, hopefully qualifies in the guise of a Reykjavik based 57th FIS aircraft. Despite my dire record for GB’s I’m kind of figuring that a socially distant Christmas and four weeks paternity leave will combine to give me some time at the modelling desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Superiority Fighter types are good for this one and the F-15C is a great example. They spent plenty time intercepting Soviet/Russian aircraft around the Greenland/Iceland/UK Gap zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I think I might try and compare early US and Soviet post war interceptors - F-102 and F106 on the one hand and Mig-17PF, Mig-21F-13 and Su-9 on the other, having already started a Mig-19PM in the Heller GB. All either missile or cannon armed only so I guess that will be OK? Serge tells me that my choice of Soviet kits are none too accurate but they are all I have in the stash and I am not going to buy replacements. They will do for this purpose I think.

alt-92 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Oh dear Lord, another one. Let's see if I can keep 3 GB's at once on track. A freebie received as compensation for a severely delayed delivery: ...which I suspect is from the same manufacturer as MisterCraft judging from the instruction sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It's a freebie, and it says 2 kits for a tenner on the box, i'm not expecting Eduard quality here 1995 Pantera/ZTS/Master-slash-MisterCrauft kit. This'll be fun. Challenge accepted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I think I read somewhere in the depths of this thread that special schemes are allowed. The one I have in mind is the CF-188 in the special scheme commemorating the anniversary of NORAD so it's an interceptor in a special scheme commemorating its role as an interceptor! @Col. is this eligible? There are also some Flankers and Fulcrums queuing up to be built! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone will object if your aircraft is in a fancy scheme, paeticularly one commemorating an entity peetty much devoted to intercepting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 oh gosh! another GB on my door step, having just started a Tornado F.3 in the Tornado GB what did I promise to build here?? Something pure would be good, no? MiG-25P(DS), MiG-31, F-102, F-101, F-106, J-8, Su-15, ?? leaning towards a Delta Dagger or a Finback currently....the crossed ones not suitable because I do not have a kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Tornado you've got going on in the STGB a nice simple kit that isn't going to put up a fight might be the way forward.

It's very close interceptors for each other. Of course more interesting J-8 (without letter!) v.s. Mikoyan E-152A, but nobody does clear J-8. 😢 B.R.

Mig Eater Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If I understand the rules correctly then anti-aircraft weapons/tanks are allowed in the GB..? I guess if I dont get around to making the Flakpanther in time for the Panther GB I could just build it here instead 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Will be joining in with probably a Seafire Ib but also thinking about a Fulmar after reading about 806 NAS's exploits in Tony O'Toole's brilliant book about defending Malta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
