(Lindberg) Me 209 Record Breaker? Tough decision... You have to ask yourself, W.W.E.M.D? What Would Enzo Matrix Do? The answer always is... Build 'em all! They would, as the boss says , make a great themed collection if you have the time. Perhaps we need to ask @Enzo Matrix for an extension already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I've got some kits of concept cars in the stash and was wondering if they'd qualify for the GB in the 'prototypes' category? If not I've got plenty of racers to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi @Col. Don't know if this has been asked before. I did not think I had anything for this GB but have just found a pair of Do-335. The old Frog one seems to be the first prototype of the A-6 night fighter version so I guess that is eligible whereas the HobbyBoss say theirs is an A-1 but other sources suggest it seems to be the second pre-production A-0 so I am not sure if that is eligible or not? Still digging through my sources to try and clarify the latter! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritJet Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I'd like to do all 5 of the Avro 707s that were built to develop the delta wing for the Vulcan. My thinking is to do them all in one thread but will happily split them into indivudual threads if this would be better. Any preference?

BritJet Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Cheers, a single thread will help me to keep track of all five of them as well without the duplication single threads would produce. I'll get some photos of the kits and start a thread tomorrow. Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 A question to which I probably already know the answer... I guess that production aircraft involved in experimental or research activity would be eligible even if they are not strictly designed for the role, right ? If so I've long desired to build Hunter WV383 while with RAE in the old Light Aircraft Grey with blue trim scheme, as seen in the link below: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/95791/WV383 This GB may be a good excuse to finally build a model of this aircraft, I've got the Xtrakit T.7 in the stash that I could just build OOB for this subject. This aircraft is today on display at Farnborough in her later Raspberry Ripple scheme, scheme that is sure very attractive but I find the earlier scheme very interesting, probably because it's quite unusual 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any equipment involved in experimental, research, and evaluation work is eligible so your Hunter is a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
