Adrian Hills Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If it is later in the year I could do my Contrail Short Mayo composite. Not sure how I have already voted or if I can change my vote. Any ideas ? 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 We made it with 60 votes! 5th place in the Bunfight, not bad! Now get your Lancasters, Vulcans, Hastings and Halifaxes out of the stash because we have secured a slot for 2022! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcans Accurately predicting most of my builds most likely.... although I did buy an ancient 1/148 Kader Valiant today which should arrive in the next few days hopefully. I'll probably save that one for this, so there may be something else beginning with V in there. Maybe I'll even do a full set of Vs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdjp11 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 How much participation depends on when it gets scheduled. but I don't lack for possible content (all three V-bombers in both 1/72 and 1/144, Lancaster, A350, DH 106 Comet, VC10 and much, much more...)

Timmas Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Congratulations Adam, I'm really looking forward to this. My only problem now is to decide what to do...will it be one of my V Bombers (you can never have enough V Bombers imo) or should I attempt the Airfix Nimrod? There were some absolutely stunning examples of these at SMW at the weekend. I did briefly consider tackling the Airfix Bentley Blower as fings don't come much 'bigger' than Birkin's beautiful brute. But if I'm going to lob out more cash on myself (again) I'll have to do some smooth talking on the domestic front. Nope, common sense has prevailed...I'll do something from the stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say no. The Schools class were the most powerful 4-4-0 locomotives in Britain, but they were not exactly big. They were designed for the restricted loading gauges of the Southern Railway. However, if you want to build a Dapol (ex-Kitmaster) kit, try the BR Standard 9F Evening Star. Now those things were huge!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Gidday, me being a WW2 warship modeler this limits me pretty much to battleships. I've been thinking about doing an 'R' class battleship, possibly HMS Revenge. They were big (but not the biggest) when they were new but by WW2 they has been left behind in size. But to me they still looked big, solid and purposeful looking. Other alternatives are whiffs, I've got ideas for three from Airfix's HMS Nelson kits. These would be big, and I'd limit the style to definitely British. I'll wait until dates are set. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi @Adam Poultney, if you are keeping the list on the front page up to date you can add me with the 1/32 HKM Lancaster, just the nose though, probably as a museum style cutaway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assumption this would be later in the year after going a victor in the matchbox GB . Now they overlap not so sure maybe if I don’t win the current kit I’m high bidder on I’ll do the Airfix Victor for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 This GB wasn't really on my radar at all until I remembered I have the 1/600 HMS Victorious aircraft carrier kit. That's big enough, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Considering a Conqueror tank for this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conqueror_(tank) In 1/35 scale, even the model will be big. And, considering it will be resin, heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gidday @bianfuxia, I've got one of those too, although not done yet. I'll look forward to seeing yours come together. No pressure, mind. 😁 Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prenton Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I have just received my copy of Spencer Pollard's new book - RAF Radials - and one of the models is a Radial Engined Lancaster B. II, based on the Airfix kit (kit no A08001) in 1/72. Would that qualify for the group build? Alternatively, I have a Revell Halifax B Mk III (kit no. 04936), in 1/72. Would that be eligible? Or do they need to be in a larger scale to qualify? Thanks, Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
