IanHx Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 aww, man, why do all the good group builds have to happen at once ? If it wasn't for the large advanced cancelled 1950s interceptor I was building in the Century Fignters group build, I'd be having a go at a large advanced cancelled 1950s interceptor here..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I thought I had signed up for this one, but it seems that I, too, forget things before I've thought of them. Or whatever happens in my diseased mind. Count me in with a tiny 1/144 scale CF-18. Or maybe a 1/350 Halifax Frigate. I haven't decided yet.

Adrian Hills Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Just had a moment of inspiration. On the night of the 24/25 April 1945 a Canadian chap I knew, Russ Rivers, was in a Mossie that shot down an Arado 232. His log showed a Junkers 290 as he ‘didn’t know the Arado aircraft existed’. This was probably one of the last allied night fighter kills of WW2. Would the Arado 232 be acceptable should I get my other two builds done promptly? Tenuous, I know ! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hi folk's,would I be right in thinking the LAV series of AFV's would be allowed I believe they were Canadian in origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a German aeroplane and not Canadian. Just because it was shot down by a Canuck. Sorry but I don't think it should be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I would have to agree with Paul. The choice of the Arado 232 just does not fit in any of the GB criteria found on the first page. If it were allowed, seeing a finished gallery full of Luftwaffe aircraft (that were shot down by Canadians), really wouldn't fit the spirit/theme here. I think the only way you could do it is maybe as a dog fight double, that is also build the Mossie alongside it to create an air diorama. Up to the moderator of course ... regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beazer Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I should begin with the Canadian memes. Im going to go loonie with my 4, possibly 5 builds. Need to get assistance from all the cobra chickens we’ve got up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just been browsing across my "printed off" 22/23 group build calendar & realized I'm not in the list for this Canadian group build. Please add me, will start a couple of threads very shortly. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Happy Canada Day everyone! Time to get started with your builds - great to see we have two pages of build threads already. I'm on the other side of the world from my workbench but will be starting a build, jet lagged, next Sunday. Meanwhile I'll be following along with everyone's builds, which I'll have plenty of time for as I'm currently laid up with covid! 7 hours ago, Lightningboy2000 said: Just been browsing across my "printed off" 22/23 group build calendar & realized I'm not in the list for this Canadian group build.

Swamp Donkey Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I simply have no idea what to build. I’ve had these Flight Colours decals for as long as I can remember - donkeys years. Suspect I’ll kick off with a CF-104 as I have plenty of Starfighters in the stash SD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 That said, the F-86 selection is pretty saucy, so are the T-33’s… SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
