PhantomBigStu Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Does the he100 count as prototype? Just myself one, I know a handful were built but never saw service as anything but propaganda pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were painted up in operational markings as a propaganda exercise to convince the Allies that this was a new ultrafast fighter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have five projects currently in progress with intentions for another four notified. However, I have been attempting to document The Stash and I found this: I would really like to build this as the DH110 second prototype WG240. I'm not making any promises, but it's a possibility... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeline Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Can I join with this? V-22 Osprey prototype#2 I hit a "problem" during my F-15 GB build... And I think making this kit which I bought more than 15 years ago will help with my mojo.

Courageous Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 With a number of builds in the GB nearing the end game, I'm looking at other candidates for the next... and this was on the top of the pile. The thing is, I can't find any images on the 'net to support this, Fujimi must have got the info from somewhere? The kit mentions it as a racer for the KIng's Cup, a handicap race. Can I take it that in this type of race that aircraft raced 'as is' and not adapted for the race, so would retain their armament, armour, radio, etc. If this is okay, then I'll build it but...

Stuart This is good for our GB Stuart. From what I remember the scheme was applied to a Mk.21 (LA217) for the race but has also been applied to restored XVI (TD248 perhaps?) and XIV (RN201) in recent years.

That being said its your build and do whichever is best for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 ln the LMS today saw this and the box top took me right back to being a kid in the local hardware shop when it first came out grabbed of the shelf and home and built in hours. I had to have it,just wondered as Saggin Dragon was a one off scheme is it eligable for this GB,over to @Col. @Enzo the Magnificent and @Corsairfoxfouruncle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its an individual piece of nose art. I checked on the unit the 16 FIS, 51 FIW. I couldn't find any similar schemes in a quick search. I would say yes to your question. Now on a separate note, I have a vintage one of these but want another. I am hoping to do a trade eventually with someone on that side of the pond.

I had a look at the rest of the build's Dennis and none so far of individual aircraft like Big Beautiful Doll etc hence the question as far as Korean War p-80's go she was an individual of coure the prototype can easily be built from the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're not far off, Ive read that the Airfix F-80 is closer to an P-80/F-80A in lines rather than a “C”. I cant say for sure but individual artwork may qualify but in the end its up to @Col..

Col. Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Let's take @stevej60's Saggin Dragon as a defining point; it's more than a small piece of nose art due to extending along a good portion of the fuselage and is, as @Corsairfoxfouruncle notes, unique to one machine. Therefore eligible for this GB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I hope that this is a suitable subject for this GB, but if @Col. or one of the other hosts could confirm if that is the case before I post a topic, that would be great. According to that font of all knowledge (Wiki) "Widely regarded as the world's first practical modern automobile, and first car put into series production, it was patented and unveiled in 1886". Arguably it could fall under the Prototype, Research or Racer categories (well it would be quick for its day 0-60 in about a week ).
