The 'Unarmed' Group Build Chat


Brad

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

🙋🏻‍♂️ 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.

Failing that maybe a caterpillar bulldozer.

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).

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.

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 :)
