JOCKNEY Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Often the bridesmaid and never the Bride. We are long overdue a whirlybirds GB. So here's your chance.

helios16v Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 You can put me down for an interested party. I've got a Seahawk, Cobra, Lynx, and Seaking in the stash for certain off the top of my head. Though the likelihood of actually having the time to do it is totally up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Great! This looks like the perfect excuse to build an AH-7 lynx i have in the stash, count me in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 At the suggestion of @Hockeyboy76I've included STOVL as well, which give even more scope to building out of the ordinary. I have a Huma Flettner Fl282 "Kolibri" which I have been wanting to build for a long time. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Some would say great minds think alike, some would say coincidence, others would just say cobblers! Stick me down my good man. Im also nominating @nimrod54 & @Hewy Edited October 16, 2019 by Hockeyboy76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Ive had no luck with Helo’s or Harriers ! Maybe i can try again @JOCKNEY. Go ahead and throw me on the list, maybe if i can find a loach or an Cobra i will go with them. Vietnam or JASDF for markings. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Count me in. I need to do more helicopters and it’s been far too long since my last Harrier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Almost certainly, I need a nudge to build one of the several many whirly winged types I have in stock. Put me down. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Pat old boy.. fancy seeing you lurking around here trying to solicit interest from mere passers by? Now I don't have too many choppers in my stash, however I've been itching to build one of my 1/32 Matchbox Puma's (sans proper decals), so this might just be the impetus to get me going. @Hockeyboy76 - you know I've got way too much on to even consider this... but it looks to be a good cast assembling, so why the hell not? Cheers and good luck with this GB proposal... Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncletommy Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Ahhh... something I can believe in. Perhaps I'll do something aligned with that age old expression, "a WOC is something that you fwo at a wabbit". If you're familiar with Fort Wolters during the 60's and 70's, you should get the inference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on then - Wessex me up! Matchbox and Novo in the stash somewhere - unless some kind soul comes up with a 1/32 Scout in the meantime. ooh - just found an Italeri one as well - triple build perhaps? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Gosh only if this could have come sooner, I could have planned my Hind build for this one, finished the frog monsters and kept Pat happy!!! As if!!! Well here's another chance to annoy make Pat's day! Someone must have been looking at my stash as I have a few that are actually in the planning stage and was just trying to find and excuse to build one of them. 1/48 Kitty Hawk AH-1Z Viper Italeri HAP Tigre with conversion kit to AHR-1 (to be built for junior as he did work on them in the Army, now on Drones) 1/35 Kitty Hawk AH-6J/MH-6J "Littlebird" Kitty Hawk MH-60L Blackhawk Academy AH-1Z Viper - coming soon Now if someone did a good Vietnam era Cobra??

Paul821 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 As I am likely to still have a couple of Harriers in my stash in 2021 add my name to the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddyf Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Put me down as interested. I have no helis in the stash, but it would not take much persuasion (I.e. none) to add one of the Bristol’s to the stash (Sycamore or Belvedere). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
