!!! DEFUNCT !!! Golden/Silver Wings era Aviation Group build, now at 30 !


Recommended Posts

Slight change of plan, looks like I should get a chance to do my Blackburn Perth in the "Anything but injection GB next year so will need to look at other options. 

 

A look in the stash reveals 

 

Saro London

Saro Cloud

Supermarine Scapa

Fairey III F

Vickers Valentia

Hawker Horsley 

Boulton Paul Sidestrand bomber

Boulton Paul Overstrand 

 

Lots of vacforms here, best start saving for sandpaper now !

 

Cheers Pat

 

PS Would the Matchbox Seafox be eligible  ?

They all sound like good options Pat, the Seafox does qualify. According to Wiki the Seafox started Squadron service in 1937 with F.A.A. 700 Squadron.

Two Roden Gladiators in the stash. One of which may be a donor kit for a Gauntlet. (Yes I know they’re pretty different, nothing a razorsaw and copious filler couldn’t fix :) )

Welcome aboard sir those sound like excellent choices.

Please add me to the list. I have a bunch of Silver Wings (RAF) candidates and quite a few civilian options too. I would even get tempted by the Alcock and Brown trans-Atlantic Vimy from FROG, but that is outside your timescale (1919 not 1920).

 

Regards,

Adrian

Hello Adrian welcome aboard, well I got curious and decided to see if there was an official start date to the interwar period. Was it the Armistice of 11/11/1918 or 10/01/1920 ? According to this Wiki page the Interwar period is considered to have started in 1918. 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interwar_period

 

What that means is Ive changed the start date to the Armistice. So if you really wanted to do the Vimy you could.

Go on then! Sign me up too. I've got a Matchbox Siskin I've been itching to build, and a Wellesley and Demon that need built. This GB will be the perfect excuse to build them. Great subject choice.

My apologies for not saying something earlier but a Siskin, Wellesley, and Demon would all be very welcome.

Welcome aboard Patrice, quite a good selection of aircraft from France in this timeframe. Maybe something from DeWoitine or Amiot ? 
 

Oh @Enzo Matrix I think we’ve got 30 now, does that mean we qualify for the bunfight.

Hi Dennis,

Are we looking like being a "go"? :)

Been checking my stash again, and I think these would qualify?

Gloster Gladiator

Gloster F5.34

Hawker Hurricane Mk.I

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I

Curtiss Hawk 75A

Mitsubishi A5M Claude

Or I might have to get something specially!!!

Looking forward to this.

Cheers,

Mark

Hello Mark, with the 30 sign-ups It should be in the November Bunfight. Of course if we get enough votes there, then we can get in next year.
