Adam Poultney Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 10 hours ago, Brad said: I'm not very familiar with Vulcans, the idea is that the aircraft was disarmed for a job, so if it was one of the privately owned aircraft, then no. Both XL426 and XH558 were display aircraft with the Vulcan Display Flight, not privately owned, at first. 426 went pretty much unmodified, so sounds like a no for that one, but XH558 was converted back to a not quite B2 from a K2 tanker while still with the RAF. But anyway, I'm leaning towards the Whitley for this build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Found another candidate atop the stash, so close to the ceiling It had fallen out of sight . Now again not knowing what I'll do, Spirit of St Louis or Super Constellation - my forever favourite airliner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Constellation - my forever favourite airliner. Go for it, the Constellation is such a good looking aircraft. Seeing the livery of your Revell kit reminded me of one of the Heller issues. What a plane! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) I have a good few options and more just won, so I'll be spoilt for choice here when they arrive. Incoming are a Matchbox Norseman, and Frog Miles Magister and Percival Proctor. But they will have to battle with others in the pile for my attention. Oh Crikey yeah, the Heller Connies! 😍 Edited April 11, 2021 by rob Lyttle Addition for Tony 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we both have Super Constellations over from the Heller GB? The thought of a build like that running alongside the Stratocruiser I'm already committed to is a bit intimidating, but what a triumph if it came off! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Fair enough, in that case make mine a double! Blimey. I'm overextended before the GB even kicks off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Wait a minute wait a minute...... ‼️ Have you looked in the box recently TonyW 😲⁉️ I'm going to start small and weigh up my options...... Although it's not a complicated build, it's just Big 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Not much bigger than a Caravelle Rob. What could possibly go wrong? I'll treat the slightly smaller Constellation as my warmup for this event. Let's hope whatever decals I use don't give me trouble this time around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Oops. I guess I started a (bon)fire? Sort of a Connie mini STGB? You started straight away without a warmup, guys. Where are the brakes? Well now I'm cornered, so I must give the Connie a go. TWA (red) markings, I think. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good project, PattheCat. Have you got the Lufthansa marking as shown on the box?? It's an excellent design. A Connie will never look better than the Lufthansa style.

I decided on the TWA scheme just because I prefer the "long nose" version. Also, I'll build it in an in flight configuration to keep it as clean and slight as possible (meaning I'll just put it on a stand 😉). Cheers.

Orso Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm in with these even if one might say that they drop bombs. But they are not precision bombers like sea gulls. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tucker Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I have a couple of kits in my stash that I think qualify for this GB. I'd like to just double check them before I make a start..... The first is a Percival Proctor. https://dorawings.com/products/1-72/53-dw72014-percival-proctor-mkiii.html I think this is unarmed and was a communications aircraft. The second is a Bellanca Skyrocket. https://dorawings.com/products/1-72/123-bellanca-ch-400-skyrockets-dw72013.html This was another communications / hack aircraft. The 3rd is the big one which I'm putting off but must get it done as the box is enormous but I'll have nowhere to put it once it is built 😕 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/airfix-a08014-douglas-c-47-skytrain--258801 Are these ok?

Rafwaffe Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’ve been waiting for this. Just have to wait until boxes get unpacked in the new house at the end of the week to find my mozzie for the ANZAC build and see what emerges from packing boxes first; PR Spitfire or Lysander to determine my entry for this build (an unscientific method but I’ll use it!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
