fightersweep Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Sign me up for this one Wez! Apart from having lots of French shaped plastic that will be left over from the Heller GB (lots of very pretty French aeroplanes), I've got a some F4U-7s that need built and one of @Army_Air_Force resin Max Holste Broussard kits. However, to keep a promise to @JeroenS and @Bengalensis, I also have a 1/24 Renault 5 and a Revell 2CV along with a 1/16 Citroen DS 19. Now, I haven't built a car kit since I was a teenager, so I may go the four wheeled route for this GB (but maybe throw in the odd wingy thing if I start going cold turkey) Steve 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 How do chaps, This is my intended contribution. It's the Academy M4A3 76 in the Airfix Box with some snazzy French markings! Regards, Steve 🇫🇷 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi Steve! AFVs don’t float my boat but I never realised that there could be such interesting markings! This and your Africa GB post both offer some very attractive options. I’ll look forward to seeing them ;). Martin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be in Vichy markings? 1 hour ago, wellzy said: Hi Wez here`s the Plan , PlanA Or plan B What do think Guy`s @Enzo Matrix will say both, truth told, I'd say both too but if you can do only one, then I think the P-40 would be the more unusual subject, either way, I'd be pleased to see either!

Thnaks, actually I am thinking on Free French scheme from winter 1944/45, with narrowed variant of invasion strips. Maybe that one (the second fro bottom): The conversion I am planning to do from MPM Boston III kit based on drawings, as scratch work Regards J-W 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Toast_RSA Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Bonjour! I'm having a good time picking things up for cheap lately. In this case however I feel there's a solid reason for it. Count me in with a Italeri 1/72 Douglas A-26C Invader, not sure if I'm going with the NMF Indochina or Suave Black & Dashing White Algerian machine. Lets see how this goes, the build reviews make for interesting reading.... As they say in France, mercy buckets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worcesterjohn Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I keep thinking about building a Fouga Magister in Finnish Air Force colours and I also have a French decal F-84 Thunderbird sat in my stash, not to mention a Revell 2CV so I fancy this as it will force me to get around around to starting one of these projects. Count me in if I'm not too late 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I thought that I'd signed up for this but it appears not. As my Talbot Record that I entered in the Classic Heller GB didn't get to the 25% mark I'd like to enter it in this one and try and finish it ( summer is a much better time of year for spray painting in the back garden than winter). I also have a pair of Heller 1/43 rally cars, a Peugeot 206 and Citroen Xsara .that I could add to the fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEMPESTMK5 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Good afternoon It looks like that there will be some very interesting subjects for this Gb this Summer as the Modelsvit Mirage III B/C/E are already available and the Mirage 2000 should also be available very soon and with the ever increasing Special Hobby Mirage F1 Family Patrice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tucker Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I can't see my name in the list so count me in! I have a Leo 451 that needs building after seeing all the trials and tribulations in the Heller GB. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
