81-er Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This seems to have "accidentally" been delivered by the postman. I guess I'll just have to use this as my entry now 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 I have now bought two more of ICM's lovely 1:72 scale Dorniers. I have a Do 17 Z-2 and Do 215:s B-4 and B-5. It may not affect directly the brave Ukrainian 🇺🇦 company, but at least I try. And yes, I try to build them all. This is my only active GB in late spring/early summer this year - and I try to be a good host in it too! V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 @vppelt68 I like your new avatar, nice to see someone support Satakunta ICM's Do-17 looks pretty sweet - we will see if I'm able to resist temptation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a "Porilainen" too - to those that don't know what it means, it means I served most of my national service in Pori (infantry) Brigade. That's the banner of my brigade. It's based on the flag of Satakunta province, a bear over fertile wheat fields and clear blue skies. The provincial capital town is Pori, in Swedish Björneborg meaning Bear castle. "Honour, Duty, Will". Forever Porilainen! My wife gave me a gift card to another Finnish hobby shop last Christmas. I had to use that before I get back to shopping from Elina! Will Harrasteässä be at Pori air show in June? I hope we could meet there, and again with @AaCee26 too. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 @vppelt68 We will attend the show - but as spectators. But we are planning to keep the store open during that weekend too, we will sort out the details later. So, welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 10 days, just 10 days to go! We should have the Current GB section open by Saturday, and then we can begin posting our build threads. Was there something I was supposed to finish before all that? Good Greif, I better get back to building it! V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Looking forward to this starting, I'll take my Do17 kit to uni. It's getting into exam season and I've got a few other builds on so I might have to watch from the sidelines for a bit, but if I find the RS Do17 to be too much of a commitment I'll buy a Mark1 Models 1/144 kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planebuilder62 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi there I have an RS models Do 217 P coversion set. The vac form canopy has gone yellow but as the windows are so small I thought I could remove them and use Kristal Klear in its place. Any idea’s if it should be painted RLM 02. What do you think? regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So soon, but at least I have my Do17 Very tempted to backdate it and go for one of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Those should keep you busy for a while V-P! I actually contemplated the 17 Z-2 in the winter scheme for a while myself. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Will someone post another pic of the nazi salt shaker? I wonder if @Mottlemaster and @Speedman will remember this one, it was one of the funniest replies I've read in my nearly ten years at Britmodeller! Thanks guys! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
