JackG Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Hello Rich, did you obtain your Goblin for half price when Special Hobby had their sale? I almost picked it up too, but already had an order shipped before the event. regards, Jack Edited August 31, 2021 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost picked it up too, but already had an order shipped before the event. regards, Jack I did. I got a great deal from them to be honest All credit to the Special Hobby / Azur spares / marketing department. I needed a replacement canopy for my old Azur F-91 flying boat kit. The unbuilt kit has a yellow canopy I emailed Azur. They said speak to the parent company Special Hobby. I emailed them and they offered to press a new canopy for me for 5 Euros. Good deal I thought.... so I asked them if they had any spare decals for a Koolhoven Azur kit I have ( I bought the Spanish Civil war kit months ago but want now to build a ww2 version). They did have spares and suggested they'd wave the postage for the canopy and decals if I bought something from their 50% off sale. I got the Goblin reduced, a CAC Boomerang reduced and a bargain PZL P11 for 5 Euro. 10 days later I got the parcel with the 3 kits, the replacement canopy (in fact 6 canopies!) and the dutch ww2 Koolhoven decals If anyone needs a Azur !/72 Fairchild F-91 canopy, I have a few spare Edited September 6, 2021 by Richard Tucker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do this slider: Chris The photo above makes it look somewhat comical sat on its belly with the tail in the air. The kit comes with decals for 338, 344 and 341. 344 looks to be the only one with a full canopy. The others just have a windscreen. I have to say I'm not much looking forward to the 3 tone underside wing colours! 1 wing white, 1wing black, the rest of the underside Sky. That doesn't make it easy does it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Having spent 22 years working for Air Canada I guess I should put my name down for this. Don’t normally sign up for GB’s as I’m useless at finishing Would be in with RCAF CF104, CF5 or Hawk. Or one of those gorgeous CC109’s I remember seeing at LGW many moons ago SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general group build rule is that builds must be less than 25% complete at the start of the GB to be eligible to go in the GB gallery, but If you have something that's further along than that you're very welcome to share it with us in the GB, but not put it in the gallery at the end. Personally I'd be pretty flexible - within reason - on where the 25% line is drawn (it's very judgemental after all), particularly for an interesting Canadian subject! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 If this counts (Canadarm. I know, it's a bit tenuous), I'm in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like tenuous, tenuous is what you get when people think outside the box and come up with subjects we wouldn’t have thought of. Any model of a Shuttle that clearly features the Canadarm (nothing with it stowed and the doors shut!) would work for me. Maybe the astronaut could be Canadian too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceAddict Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'll start off by stating that I suck at finishing anything on a schedule... But I do have a nice F/A-18+ and a set of Leading Edge decals for the very cool cougar tail art of 410 Squadron for the '93 airshow season. So count me in. (I promise I'll do my best.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're anywhere near as good as the Leading Edge decals I used for my Hornet earlier this year they'll work brilliantly! I've got a few Leading Edge sets to use including their Tiger Meet Hornet markings which I'll use in this GB if it gets through the bunfight, or the Hornet STGB if it doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
