jackroadkill Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I think I'm going to change my order of batting for this GB; I had planned to do a Tamiya Beaufighter but due to having to do the liposuction job on the belly I think I'm going to swap my choices to a Revell Beaufighter and at least one Airfix Bleheim mkiv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I’m like 99% completed on my Airfix Beaufort and am now considering what on earth to tackle next. I could perhaps revisit one of my Self of Doomers, however we all know thats no fun so another Bristol twin could be certainly on the cards. What are the GB dates for this one again? I can’t seem to find it. Cheers.. Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love starting a new model on my Birthday... the 1/48 Airfix Blenheim has just been elevated up the build queue. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I´m not sure if I can commit myself to this one, fortunately, there´s not a single eligible kit in my stash either. If I go crazy I will shop for a 1:72 Blenheim Mk. I and Finnish decals for it (you guessed it, they along a set of masks are already waiting just one click away at a hobbystore ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Almost doing the same myself @vppelt68, hovering over some Blenheim AM items that would really enhance what already is a lovely kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Can you put my name down for this GB. Not sure what I'll be building yet though🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would like to put my hand up with a 1/48 Beaufighter nightfigher. I was thinking of matching Daves Blenheim, but this is quite a short time limit for a twin. Pity the ICM Beaufort isn't released in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would @vppelt68 ever speak to me again if I didn't make the right decision ? A Blenheim on skis, yes please! yes this IS the 12th of June isn’t it!! Where the hell did the time go, it’s nearly June now! And I’ve just started two 4 engined bombers and haven’t finished my bi planes... I feel I didn’t think enough about timings! I’m still planning on two for this, hopefully both malta based. Beaufort from airfix and a beaufighter from Hase (vi I think??). I should start getting prepared really as I’m hosting it!

Greg Law Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I just ordered a Revell 1/48 Beaufighter IF for this build. I always wanted to do an early Beaufighter nightfigher after reading about one of the RAF's best Nightfigher aces when I was a lot younger. I stumbled on this relatively new kit when I was looking for masks. It is supposed to arrive on the 14th of June. Cross fingers..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweener Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Is it still possible to join this GB? I have a Blenheim with special Finnish markings from an SBS sheet that I need an excuse to build, and I may pick up a Bristol 138 as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can join anytime whilst the GB dates are still open, although make sure you give yourself enough time to actually build your kit! Enzo (GB Moderator) will normally open up the GB about a week prior to its starting date. At this point you can start your GB threads and declare your builds, however can't make an 'official' start until the GB start date ticks over. Cheers and I hope this helps..

Hi Greg Actually our Host is @rob85, who I'm sure along with the "Robettes" will have all this under control. This is yet another GB that has sneaked up on me, must get some of my other builds finished first ! Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Any GB is not the same without your presence @JOCKNEY, so hopefully you can get a build or two finished and join us here. Actually, I’ve abstained from quite a few GB’s lately as I was in a similar place not finishing anything. Funnily enough my recent completion was a Beaufort, so I’m all ripe for another Bristol twin while the motivation is high. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see the picture I had in my mind when I was reading it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed it. All good mate I'm being called Steve on one of my builds at the moment so it must be something I'm doing ! Looking forward to this one. Finished 1 build in the Unarmed GB yesterday, should get the other one finished today. That leaves the Stirling, tractor and bomb trolleys in the under a tenner GB, 2 x 109s in the 109 STGB to focus on. However with builds in this GB, the Hellcat STGB and French Fancy GB it's going to be hectic ! No one to blame but me ! Cheers Pat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm struggling over my choice for a Beaufighter build. My options are a Mk.X in the rare Coastal Command white scheme, a wartime RAAF Mk.21 in overall foliage green or a post war RAAF TT.21. And before you all attempt to hoist me by my own petard, can I point out that I also intend to build a Blenheim, Beaufort and Brigand as well.
