Valkyrie Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) How about this for a group build, the animal build... Anything with an animal in it’s name can be built within this one... Boats, cars, aircraft, spacecraft all carry names of animals, even some people....even animals themselves can be built. Ford Puma car, RAF Hawk, Mosquito, USN Hornet, HMS Wasp, I would be building a Ukrainian SU-25 Frogfoot as another example. Anyone interested in this? 1.

Robert Stuart Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Me! me! No idea what I'll build - or, rather too many ideas what I'd build, just not what I'll settle for... To add to your suggestions Valkyrie ... Firefly, Panther or Tiger for the armour guys, or somebody might go for an armoured car (Dingo, or Greyhound spring to mind). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srkirad Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Sounds interesting. Also don't have a clue what exactly I would build, but my stash is pretty good with "animals" of various kinds Count me in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Yep, I am in. I have got loads of animals in my stash. I could start a kit zoo. 🤣 Maybee I should do a Messerschmitt Me-410 Hornisse (Hornet). Cheers, Edited January 15, 2020 by Arniec 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 My goodness there are actually a lot more options than I realised! Keep these great build ideas coming in please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Gato class, Mackeral class, and Balao class Subs, most of which seem to have had fish names. Then for the Soviet/Russians you have the Akula class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srkirad Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Many helicopters' names also are of animal origin: SA342 Gazelle, SA330 Puma/SA332 Super Puma, AS532 Cougar, AS350 Ecureuil (squirrel), AS550 Fennec, SA360 Dauphin, SA315 Lama, SA321 Super Frelon (hornet), Aerospatiale Alouette (lark), Ka-50 Black Shark, Ka-52 Alligator, Mi-1 Hare, Mi-24 Hind, AH-1 Cobra, Seahawk, Blackhawk...

Valkyrie Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 After these recent suggestions I think I might have to move to include a chopper or two. Jayhawks and Dauphins are taking up a good part of my stash. Welcome to our newest recruits and keep the animal options open, I can already see a sequel lol.. 10 hours ago, Col. said: Great idea!

ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Gidday, any idea when this might occur? My dance card (or whatever the modeler's equivalent term is) is a little bit full at present, but I'm interested. Regards, Jeff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dance card (or whatever the modeler's equivalent term is) is a little bit full at present, but I'm interested. Regards, Jeff. It would need to get 30+ names to be qualified for the great November Bunfight. If it survives and gets a ranking number of votes in November, it would be given a build date sometime in 2021. That build would be across a 4 month time span. Edited January 21, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Gidday, thanks, that far ahead I can probably squeeze it in. One other possible issue though, the ruling about must be less than 25% started. I have an Airfix 1/600 scale Leander class frigate I made over forty years ago. The hull is intact but that is about it. Shafts, screws and rudder gone, anti-sub mortars gone, the entire superstructure gone. The turret is still there but I would replace it as I've always thought it was wrong, too narrow. Besides, I'd need two. I've considered in the past of converting it to HMAS Swan (I live near Perth on the Swan River in West Oz) but HMS Leopard has always interested me also. Plan "B" is to simply raid a box of Falkland Island warships and use the Leander from that. Or HMS Antelope (Amazon kit) for that matter. But probably Leopard. I guess this is a rather long-winded way of saying I'm interested, please count me in, with HMS Leopard or Antelope. Thanks. Regards, Jeff 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
