No its Airfix's old kit, I picked it up a year or so ago in a local charity shop for 14 quid, (from memory I think its the 25th Falklands anniversary re-boxing form 2007) Edited July 5, 2021 by Ravnos typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the new tool out now I would find it hard to resist one at that price, the idea of making a B1 or B1a from one sounds very tempting.

Yeh I couldn't resist lol, at the time I had no idea there was a new one coming, and now that I think about it finding that kit is a big part of what got me back into modeling this year.

Torbjorn Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Can I be the Magic Number Member? I just have to figure out what flying contraption you’d consider ”big” from the era 1910-1920. Edited October 15, 2021 by Torbjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Great to see this one I the bunfight although allocating my 5 votes just got a bit more complicated! Thinking about my options, plenty of them have come up in this thread already (Lanc, Victor etc), how about a Canberra - do we think it’s big? Which leads to another question, is the RB-57F (which is definitely big, it’s got a bigger wingspan than a Victor) British enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which leads to another question, is the RB-57F (which is definitely big, it’s got a bigger wingspan than a Victor) British enough? British includes anything from England, Scotland, Wales plus any of the little rocks in the sea which are British, additionally Northern Ireland is included despite not being part of the Island of Great Britain as it is part of the British Isles and the UK. Foreign derivatives of British aircraft are a grey area. Some such as an RB-57F seem quite far removed from their British origins, there seem to be more foreign bits than British bits, but an earlier variant like a B57B or something seems to be more British than American. I'll leave this up to the modeller's discretion so long as they can justify it. For aircraft which were jointly developed like Concorde, if possible go with British markings. An Air France Concorde feels more like a French aircraft whereas a British Airways one feels like a British aircraft. Airbus aircraft in British markings would qualify if we had a hand in development (eg A400M). Entirely foreign aircraft in British markings are not British enough for this, so no RAF C17s or B17s, no BA 747s or BOAC 707s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm up for this. GWH 1/144 Vulcan to start with and who knows what else may come along. For other inspirations how about those passenger liners like thQE1,2and QM2. Just remembered I have got a Revell AEW Shack to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Buysse Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hi, Yes, I voted for this one and the other 4 that I endorsed to be in the bunfight. My one STGB is the Mig-21. As I want to participate in the F/A-18 STAGB and in the Falklands GB, It's bound to be a busy year. Cheers, Stefan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 No worries, I voted for this one, I'd like to build a Scammel. I have one in small scale but maybe I'll get a bigger one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
