vppelt68 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This one's for you @trickyrich ! a) There has never been one at Britmodeller b) Drakens were very popular at the recent Nordic GB c) The earliest date would be in 2022 so at least two years away d) Why not? V-P I had to change the list above from numerical to alphabetic to prevent confusion... anyways, here we go: vppelt68 (host) helios16v reini Corsairfoxfouruncle Marlin klr exdraken desert falcon CliffB trickyrich zebra Bjorn Roland Pulfrew Greg B Marklo Rob S 2996 Victor Christer A Roger Newsome John Masters Black Knight Bill Davis Jabba Beggsy RaceAddict Jinxman theplasticsurgeon Wings unlevel . 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klr Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Sign me up. I have 2 of the Revell (ex-Hasegawa) kits: I also have the ancient Revell 1957 kit, "upgraded" with an extra stores (and nose) sprue. It does at least have an excellent decal sheet with markings for all four operators: I don't have the Heller kit, and have never built it, more's the pity. I haven't the Airfix kit in the stash either, because I've built all three that I bought over the years. Here's the most recent: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 4) it is for me Could do the Austrian Airforce 6 ship formation in final afterburner split maybe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 2022 should be manageable V-P, count me in please. Last I was in Copenhagen I saw a Hesegawa 1/72 RF-35 DRAKEN 'RECON DRAKEN' looking very smart in red with Dannebrog (the Danish flag) on it. I didn’t grab it back then but if the higher Covid-19 powers will allow travelling over the summer, I can hopefully pick it up later this year. A kind of a Nordic GB III 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I had lost count of how many GB proposals I have open, too many obviously . Anyhoo, while some of them are better forgotten, some are to be slaughtered in the bunfight and some hopefully not, I still think that the mighty Draken deserves its dedicated single type group build too. So, I give it a BUMP! I myself didn´t even remember this existed . V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Me too V-P. I've somehow managed to still not build my 1/100 Tamiya kit, despite all the Nordic and Interceptor stuff going on this year.... Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 haha.... this is just a cunning plan drawn up by you lot to make me feel guilty and build my mythical Draken!!!! you know it won't work! But just so as to keep you lot happy I guess you'd better add me. Bet I find a way to wiggle my way out of building that one and build something else instead! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 This would be fantastic! Count me in!!! I have sooooo many unbuilt Drakens! Well, built one as well. But you could never get enough of them, could you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 2022 already?!?! But yep, I have a couple of Hasegawa Drakens in the stash. Assuming they don’t get built in Nordic II, I’m in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Edit: The text below has become obsolete! (Seriously thinking about canceling this, if the Nordic II should materialize next year. Everybody has there a possibility to build as many Drakens one only wishes and the GB/STGB calendar is already full enough. What would you think about that?)

desert falcon Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 You’re thinking to much V-P, a dedicated Draken STGB can never be wrong 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I say leave it. If we don't get the votes, then we don't get the votes. But to me it's not worth forgoing the opportunity to get a non-mainstream (p-51, spitfire, phantom, f-16, bf-109, etc) build into the STGB fray. Besides, it might be just what someone needs to go and actually pick one up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 No no nonono NO! Leave it. Please By the time this has a slot in the STGB schedule we'll be on Nordic IV and a certain someone STILL won't have built his mythical Draken so here's one more chance 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
