Brad Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 My current build has given me an idea for this possible GB. The idea is build something that is unarmed. Now when I say unarmed, I don't mean just a model plane without bombs, but something that was not meant to have a gun/bomb/torpedo/rocket/missile or slingshot mounted on it. This might be by design, eg; a suburban car, or by later specialisation for job, eg; former warbirds turned into air racers or emergency service aircraft. Just because something is unarmed, doesn't mean it can't be military either. Reconnaissance aircraft like Spitfires and Me 262's were often unarmed, Blackbirds, U2's, AWACS along with military trucks and tractors often mounted no armament and don't forget things like ground equipment or vehicles. No prototype military or dearmed captured equipment. Scifi, space and figures welcome provided they aren't armed. 1 - Brad - Host 2 - Col 3 - Adam Poultney 4 - Corsairfoxfouruncle 5 - dnl42 6 - zebra 7 - JOCKNEY 8 - Rabbit Leader 9 - helios16v 10 - Erwin 11 - CliffB 12 - Beazer 13 - Romeo Alpha Yankee 14 - redstaff 15 - hockeyboy76 16 - theplasticsurgeon 17 - jabba 18 - Wez 19 - rafalbert 20 - Robert Stuart 21 - John Masters 22 - robw_UK 23 - Valkyrie 24 - reini 25 - franky boy 26 - klr 27 -Rafwaffe 28 - Marlin 29 - Ted 30 - Foxbat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've got lots of civi cars (street & race) along with a couple more recon & cargo aircraft that could play in this sandbox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yes I'll play. Plenty dedicated reconnaissance subjects in the stash and other options there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 No surprises here but there are V Bombers I could build... XA903 as an engine testbed, XA894 as em engine testbed, one Valiant I believe was an engine testbed, PR Valiants, I believe Victor SR2s didn't carry any offensive weaponry, obviously the Vulcan K.2 is a possibility as is the Victor K.1 and K.2. Plenty of options for me. If we're allowing what ifs, I could go with an Avro Atlantic, Vickers Type 1000 or perhaps Handley Page HP96, 97, 101 or 111. Needless to say, I'll likely be able to find something to build, count me in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) 🙋🏻♂️ Add me if I can find a John Deere Tractor I will build that. My favorite is the 9620 series and I’d almost rather have one than a supercar. ... Almost. https://www.machinerypete.com/listings/tractors/175-hp/john-deere/9620 Failing that maybe a caterpillar bulldozer.

zebra Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I’m in, plenty in my stash that would work here - transport aircraft, airliners, trainers, and probably some more interesting options if I put my mind to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have a Sanger Blackburn Beverley which being both vacform and enormous will mean i will need to focus on this at the expense of anything else GB wise. Am i ok to join ? cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 What about the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail? He’s unarmed!! OK Brad I’ll join, I’m sure I can find something else more suitable. Cheers.. Dave (in silly mood). 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So I was watching a Gulf Air War documentary last night whilst assembling bits and bobs on the SA-11. And it hit me that I have another oddball in the stash that is right up my alley. 1/48 EF-111. Unlike the USN's Prowler which went in packing HARMs to lay the beat down on radar/SAM installations, the Raven went in unarmed relying entirely on it's ECM package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Maybe a WW-2 glider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm gradually moving away from wingy things and on to rally and F1 cars, so this sounds like an ideal opportunity to build one with a reason Put me down please Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) That’s a good idea, I’m in. @Brad Where do you stand on Egg plane models? Edited March 18, 2020 by Hockeyboy76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 oohhh have a couple that fit this (well 1 tank transporter, the M4 fast tractor has a self-defence machine gun I think). So if this is for 2021 and beyond count me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
