Ray_W Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi Cliff. I hope you can squeeze me in. I am sticking with my Bulgarian Air Force theme of the past year and plan to build Mirage-Hobby's 1/48 Bulgarian PZL.24B Should make for an attractive scheme.

Cheers The Bristol I have planned to do as a RCAF one. Was going to save it for the possible Canadian GB or even try it for the AUs/NZ GB but too late for that one now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi Cliff, Is there any chance I could sneak in under the wire and take part in this GB as well? I've got the From Azur Renard R-31 in my stash, and I've been looking for an excuse to get PZL or two and a Morane Parasol of some sort. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to Google the Renard, but what a beautiful aircraft it is Thanks for signing up. Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prenton Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Cliff - how would a Hs 123 count in this GB? I have one that has lain in the stash for a number of years - the venerable Italeri/Esci kit in 1/48th. Got it at Telford kitswop in 2015 for a fiver. So about time to let it out of its box, if that's within the theme... Philip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm pleased to say that biplanes are included within the scope of Group Build so your Hs.123 would be very welcome. We don't see too many Hs.123s on BritModeller and particularly not in 1/48 .

Marklo Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I have a question, would this qualify as high wing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a general principle biplanes are allowed and, more specifically, your proposal would appear to be a very good contender for the 'highest wing' award!

Marklo Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) It’s a Grahame White type 20 and I love the way it looks as if it’s been startled. Apparently the upper wing was set so high to improve the pilots visibility. Edited June 13, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Does a Victor qualify as "high wing"? Head on it looks higher than from side on. I can do my Victor in another GB so I am fine either way - just wondering really! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an expensive day if I went to a shop and sort that sort of selection.... Although I'm sure that Mike at Clifton Curios knows my like of building aircraft flown during ww2 and gets really obscure kits and planes in just so I part with my money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do my Victor in another GB so I am fine either way - just wondering really! I can never decide whether these types of adjudication are the best bit, or the worse bit, of being a GB host! IIRC I've already said 'yes' to the Valiant, but unfortunately I'm going to say 'no' to the Victor. It's maybe hard to rationalise, but I think the centreline of Victor's wing roughly corresponds with the centreline of its fuselage - it only looks higher because the upper surface of the wing sweeps up over the engines. In contrast, the c/l of the Valiant's wing is much higher. I hope that makes sense. Sorry! Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cliff and nicely adjudicated! Being a true modeller, I have about 458 million models in my stash and many of them are high wing. I'll send the Victor to another GB and raid the stash for something else for this one. I honestly think half the fun of GBs for me is plotting out which kits go into which GB. Looking forward to this one starting. I think I'll kick it off with this, which I bought in hopeful anticipation of that Arctic/Antarctic GB that didn't get off the ground ice.
