Lightningboy2000 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just looking on this group build out of curiosity as my mate Courageous has his Kingcobra in here. Didn't realise that I might have something that would apply until I saw the bit about special schemes. Thought it was just prototypes and racers. I recently purchased a kit that has this scheme the other week... This is a bit "Special", a bit like myself. Hopefully it will fit in with my time frames & I should get it completed in time. And it fits in with a couple of other specials that I've completed over the past couple of years.

Lightningboy2000 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 More of a place holder than anything at the moment. F-15E in the first stages of construction. Moulding looks very nice to me despite past reviews of this kit. It may have some inaccuracies but saw this kit at the Holbeach show & just had to have it as it's both pretty hard to find & another wacky scheme that actually existed. Much like the Czech Mig-21UM cartoon scheme that i completed a couple of months ago, which incidentally was orginally an RV kit as well. Will look good parked next to my A-10 with its huge red devil on the fuselage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a particular size in millimetres you're looking for? Almark used to do a sheet (A23) that included some of that style in 1/72nd scale.

AdrianMF Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I didn’t think I’d got anything in the stash so I was thinking of making a prototype Hurricane from the old Airfix 1/72 Mk1 kit, but I’ve since remembered I have a Pavla Gloster Whittle, a Magna Gloster Reaper and an AZ Model MB-5 in the stash! Nothing very colourful but spoilt for choice nonetheless (after the P-38 GB). Regards, Adrian 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 9 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Was it a competitor with the Beaufighter It was produced to the F.9/37 requirement issued in 1937 and preceded the Beaufighter, which was a derivative of the Beaufort (which is how I could steal the Airfix Beaufighter wings and tail to put on the FROG Beaufort body in the dark days before Airfix kitted the Beaufort!). A later version was put forward into the competition that produced the Beaufighter but it was withdrawn so Gloster could concentrate on jet designs. Given that I already made my other Magna kit (the Gloster F.5/34) for the Anything But Injection GB, this would be a nice excuse to get this one done! (But P-38s need to get done first!)

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I've mentioned this before - numerous times - but did you know that Peter Gabriel wrote a song about me? It's true. I have no self control. I originally planned four projects for this GB. Three of those are currently in progress. However, I seem to be quite inspired by this GB and my imagination has been captured by an additional four possible projects. I won't mention what they are, as I don't wish to be hoist by my own petard (see my previous post ) but they are very possible. Two are connected to well known obsessions that I have. The other two are connected to the imminent release of a new kit. So, I have those drivers which are making these projects almost irresistible. But then add into the mix the following factors: All four projects will involve building from The Stash Gideon (aka The Mighty Spreadsheet) tells me that all four projects are perfectly feasible and will not exceed any previously set limits. I'm barely holding on here... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
