trickyrich Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have to apologise folks if I have been as active or annoying as usual!!! I am crazy busy with work travelling and trying to train to newbies ... trust me there is not enough alcohol to numb the pain of that! Hopefully thing may start to clam down in November as it's also really eating into my modelling time!! I'm sorry if I haven't commented on your builds, I have been following just not enough time for words of encouragement, but there are some amazing builds going on so keep up the great work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, but I have already done that at the WW2 aircraft discussion section . My bookshelf probably has the answers for Finnish Mersu questions, but not for correcting the unknown to me Hasegawa kit.

Zack Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi Rich, Thanks for the heads up and welcome! Hi V-P, Thank you - I was eager to getting started - I am sorry for double posting. Won't happen again. I will summarize the knowledge shared in the general Aircraft WWII thread in the WIP here as soon as i get the camera back from the daughter's wedding party. Actually I was so restless that I got myself the Special Hobby 32044 Fiat G.50-II Freccia, "Finnish Aces" while waiting 🤪 And V-P, this is same story: Any advice for the SH kit is very much appreciated! Very Best regards & TGIF Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 You could read through my stalled triple G-2 Mersu build here It has some general background for all Finnish G-2:s. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) I really shouldn't join another GB, but what do you reckon; a Finnish MiG 21MF or Danish F-84G? Edited November 1, 2021 by Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Pulfrew Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Oops. Big apology! Having been member 30 to get this GB over the line, I’m sorry to say I am currently sat in the desert completely without models, paints and glue. Sorry I won’t be in, so I’ll have to save the Strv, Viggen or Draken till Nordic III Some great builds going on though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramedic Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Yeah, much more interesting and less common. A Danish F-84 sounds cool! Ah too bad @Roland Pulfrew, next time it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 well according to the new rules we need to wait a year but as the 2022 GB year is in the process of being determined then there's no reason why we can't try for 2023? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Finnish Government just announced, that in Nordic GB X in 2030 we can build Finnish Air Force F-35A:s. Damn. I'm sorry for SAAB not winning the HX-competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn. I'm sorry for SAAB not winning the HX-competition. and Danish ones already now... I fear the Gripen, even the E/F simply is not sufficciently more advanced than the highly upgraded Finnish F/A-18s to justify this long term investment. Saab has already teamed up to develop a stealthy successor with the UK industry and Italy... Gripen had its time... but I do not think it is going to be much more than a stopgap... but then even F-16s are stilll sold to countries that can't afford better stuff... lets see when and how advanced Swedish Es will be available... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 But then, the F-16 has been and still is the best fighter ever to give bang for your buck. Not the best in any single aspect, but as whole yes. The true multi role combat aircraft, with a glorious career far from the original idea of the lightweight fighter it once began - the YF-16, just like its competitor the YF-17 that evolved into the spectacular F/A-18. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Dear hosts and mods, any chance for a sight deadline shift to the right? Dec 26th is a slightly insuitable day for finishing my Draken...24th and 25th the same... 🎄 🎅 Thanks! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I put a wish into Santa a couple of weeks ago. I haven't heard back........ think I may be getting a lump of coal for Christmas! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Best of luck to all still to finish. I won’t be, paint is not formulated right so is unusable so no way I can get mine done this week. Angry as for once it’s not my own fault. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The period around Christmas day is often a "black hole" for me in terms of kit building. The only way I could get any kits finished for this GB (and I do have some) is if I took them with me for my Christmas break, which would require some extremely careful packing, as I will be travelling by train. And then some forbearance from the people who I am visiting😑. Now, if there was another week, I'd have all the time I need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
