Marklo Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) A minor brainwave. What about an Aircraft of the Aces GB; any aircraft from any conflict but must be either flown by an ace and/or have more than five kill markings. Personally I have a nice Eduard Albatross, a Couple Camels( well 4 actually), a SPAD and some N17s in the stash that would all do nicely. Now that I think of it I’d also like to add Richthofens Halberstadt DII to the collection. 1. me of course 2. @DaveyGair 3. @TEMPESTMK5 4. @Ted 5. @Corsairfoxfouruncle 6. @Grey Beema 7. @2996 Victor 8. @jackroadkill 9. @MattG 10. @klr 11. @Paul J 12. @Tim R-T-C 13. @vppelt68 14. @JohnT 15. @stevehnz 16. @Andwil 17. @theplasticsurgeon 18. @Tim R-T-C 19. @John Masters 20. @Black Knight 21. @Rafwaffe 22. @trickyrich 23. @Paul J 24. @Steve 1602 25. @CliffB 26. @zegeye 27. @wellzy 28. @Mattp7999 29. @Valkyrie 30. @JosephLalor 31. @Beazer 32. @LorenSharp Edited July 1, 2022 by Marklo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Two KP La-5's I've recently obtained are 'Aces' boxings so I'll join this if I may? Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Good afternoon Marklo I am in , I mainly build aircraft flown by aces ... Best Regards Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'd join, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Well I still need 6 aircraft for my Pips Priller collection, 4 for my R.S.S.Tuck collection, and 3 more for my Boyington collection so add me in with one of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well I have gaps in my FAA Aces collection for:- Brabner, Bruen, Sewell (Fulmars), Bruen, Crosley, (Sea Hurricane IIb), Cotching (Wildcat V), Reynolds, (Seafire III), Wilson, Foster (Hellcats). So I think I can find something. Count me in please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Yes, please, Marklo, I'd like to take part - usual suspects in my stash, and perhaps one or two that aren't so usual! Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Fully aware that I'm signing up for far too many GB's. With that in mind, it's with a heavy heart that I say.... I'm in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Sign me up too please! I have lots of 1/48 fighters in the stash that would count, and there's no chance I'll get through them all before this starts! Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 A vote from me. I have quite a few candidates in the stash, mostly from the two World Wars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good idea. I suggested this as a GB a while ago. Had a small response but it all went flat so I hope it goes better for you! But you can add me to the list though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I've got most of the Osprey Aces library so I'm sure I can find something! Maybe worth opening up to ground aces too - lots of Panzer ace scheme decals available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Please, add me to the list. V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 That’s an attractive idea. And as Tim has said it could apply to tankers and uboats. Must be the odd sub hunter that sunk 5 uboats. USS England got 6 in the Pacific. I’m into planes and have the Eduard 1/48 Ernst Udet set plus a Fokker E1 and decals for him with that and need an excuse to move them up the build list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andwil Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Seeing as how most of my collection is of aircraft of the aces how can I possibly refuse? AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thought I would give this a nudge as it seems forgotten. Even though I suggested it some while back I am hoping that Marklo has better luck with this . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yes please - this Airfix Hurricane, Which I've built previously as SD*X, So this time with markings for Squadron Leader Archie McKellar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sure thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 A really interesting topic, lets hope this makes the 2023 Bunfight. Started on my first Luftwaffe Ace model, the ubiquitous A.Galland, but still plenty left in the stash 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I'm definitely back in for 2023. Finished my Galland scene too. Anyone want to take bets whether he would be the most featured Ace in this GB? Edited December 8, 2021 by Tim R-T-C 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafwaffe Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Sign me up please. A few aces come to mind whose aircraft I wouldn’t mind making a model of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galland, Bader, Richthofen, Rickenbacker ? Should this one see the light of day I’ll be doing Richthofens Halberstadt DII. Actually the culture of the ACE wasn’t really a big thing among the allies wheres the Germans, particularly the nazis loved the cult of personality.
