Col. Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 That looks like a fun kit @peterairfix, sure I'd a Wessex with similar features as a kid, get cracking with it No worries @HoolioPaulio, like Pat ( @JOCKNEY ) I've not had a lot of free time to get in here far less to the workbench, we're an easy-going group and don't hold people in any less regard when real life gets in the way of the fun stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Bit confused here thanks to some conflicting information, doing the Revell CH-47E as an RAF HC3 and seen post saying I should cut the kit sponsons off and fit the larger ones for the HC3? Can anyone confirm if this is right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenoz Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Well, recently started the old Italeri/Tamiya AH-1W in 1/72 with armycast interior/engine compartment and Eduard hellfires. So far I've cut out the fuselage halves and glued these. Still eligible too join? No paint touched the parts yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Pat, does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartini_Beriev_VVA-14 qualify? It was designed with VTOL capabilities that never materialized because lift engines were never supplied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 What is it about GBs that means the stash never gets smaller? Having started looking for Fujimi kits afte a conversation in another GB, one of the kits that fell into my basket was this one. Won't be here in time to get built in this GB, but it's another chopper for the stash, when I haven't had any for years. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get those six done before the Heller and Panther GBs kick off as I've got something for both of those too. I do enjoy a good GB I do Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 So thats just the 6 kits on the go at once is it Andy ? Glad to see you pacing yourself, although that is verging on multitasking which as you know genetically we are not supposed to do. 😉 cheers Pat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However no idea how to go about organising such a trip, a good friend of mine has recently retired from KLM, and as he has a keen interest in early jets, i would love to know what aircraft can be seen at the museum. Time for some research, unless of course someone reading this has actually visited it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 An all white Huey flew over the town today, I heard it long before I saw it, also sitting out on my kayak off the coast yesterday saw the red arrows returning after their display at Prestwick...still out one of the AW Coast Guard choppers based at Prestwick flew over the shore and back...anyway, does anyway know if there is a model kit of the Augusta Westland CG choppers available yet?

Nope, no kits of the AW139 or AW189 around in injected form at least. I checked Shapeways and no 3D printed versions either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Interesting the MiG-23 PD (Photo from http://www.airwar.ru/enc/xplane/mig23pd.html ) meets the rules of this GB or not? This aircraft cannot take off and land vertically, but it has two additional lift engine for short takeoffs ... B.R. Serge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Brilliant to see so many stunning builds in the Gallery. Congratulations to everyone who has completed their builds and good luck to everyone currently doing battle with their kits. I have given myself a well aimed KUTA to make some progress on my own builds, and my apologies for the lack of progress to date. cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
