High Wing GB Chat ++ WE NOW HAVE GALLERY POLL WINNERS++


CliffB

Recommended Posts

START DATE:  7th AUGUST 2021  :thumbsup:

 

For some reason, I've always been attracted to high wing aircraft. 

I'd therefore like to propose a High Wing GB for 2021 please. Eligible, would be any aircraft where the wing is located at or above the top of the fuselage (including biplanes).

 

There's quite a range of potential subjects, for example:

  • Parasol fighters from WWI and between the wars
  • WWII army co-operation (Stork, Lysander, Cub etc.)
  • Flying boats (Catalina, Sunderland, Boeing Clipper etc.)
  • Light utility (Otter, Pioneer, Islander etc.)
  • Airliners (Ambassador, Friendship, BAe 146 etc.)
  • Vietnam era (Bronco, Turbo Porter etc.)
  • Heavy lift (Nordatlas, Hercules, Atlas etc.)
  • Fast jets (Harrier, Corsair II etc.)

 

Is anyone else interested?

Id like to do more than one, dont know if i will depends on what i find ? My dream list would be a Beaver bush plane, Cessna, Stinson or piper. Then again if i choose something military like B-24 or an A-7 corsair. BTW I do like your choice.

I could be interested...if I only knew how to modify the Revell kit to represent Finnish Border Guard maritime patrol aircraft.

Cool looking scheme, isn't it?

Very smart indeed!  Shall I sign you up while you get the detail sorted out? :winkgrin:

Oh why not?  I'll probably do a  Roden UA-23A Peacemaker or a Bronco L-4 "Rosie the Rocketer" both of which have been languishing in my stash for several years now and are dying to come out and play.

Excellent - thank you!  Funnily enough I bought an RWD 8 at Telford today.

Thanks Uncle Tommy - they're both excellent choices (although possibly the UA-23A is the more excellent ;)).

Count me in Cliff. Lots of interesting options to choose from - Do 27, Twin Pioneer and Beverley are the first three that come to mind.

Thank you zebra, any one of those would be superb.  Very much in the intended spirit of the GB!

 

Cheers

Hi Cliff

Apologies over the mishap with the Choppers GB, may I throw my hat in the ring with a Heller Morane Saulnier 225 sir !

Cheers Pat 

Hi Pat.  My STOVL v VTOL wobble was entirely self-induced :banghead:, but maybe some good will come from it!   Your parasol fighter would be very welcome.

 

Cheers, Cliff

Hello @CliffB quick question ? Would inverted Gull wings count ? Like the ones on PZL Fighters ?

If so my options have really increased ? I really do want to get my Polish A.F. Collection moving.

Absolutely they would count Dennis.  Anything where the wing is located at or above the top of the fuselage is welcome.

Although I don't build much now, my first love was 'between the wars' so maybe this GB will tempt me back!

Welcome, Back in the Saddle.  Yours is the first of what I hope will be many airliners!

Hi Arniec.  It will be a great choice if you do go with a B-24.  Surprisingly, it's an aircraft that doesn't seem to feature very often in Britmodeller GBs.

I think I’d like to play. I’ve got a few aircraft stashed that fit the bill.

 Thanks Heather.  I'm sure you will come up with something particularly interesting!
