trickyrich Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I had promised myself I would avoid this sections as I already spend way too much time on GB's but this was an idea that just wouldn't go away. So this GB would be for all propellor powered/driven from after WWII. After WWII the golden age of the prop driven aircraft was coming to an end, replaced by Hoovers with wings. But there were still lots of amazing and interesting prop driven aircraft to come for many years and still coming, especially in the Civilian side of aviation. So basically any Propellor Powered/Driven aircraft produced after 01 January 1946 is eligible.......... from 1950 would have been easier but we'd loose some interesting aircraft. Only other stipulation, it must have flown, Turbo-props are ok, if the numbers of those are great enough they'll even have there own gallery. Plus if there is enough interest I may also open this up to Piston powered "Egg-beaters" as well, gotta love the smell of Avgas. So jets begone and let the bug-smashing commence! 1, trickyrich - Host 2, helios61v 3, Marklo 4, Robert Stuart 5, Ray S 6, zebra 7, dnl42 8, modelling minion 9, Jb65rams 10, Tim R-T-C 11, Corsairfoxfouruncle 12, LorenSharp 13, 2996 Victor 14, JOCKNEY 15, David2703 16, CliffB 17, Arniec 18, Colin W 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Interesting. Too bad the OV-1B is almost done. I do still have recce & AWACS birds from the USN that apply (turbo-smashers) in 72nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Well I wouldn’t say no to a Wyvern, a Gannet, a Skyraider or a Bronco so count me in. Edited June 29, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Should be able to find something for this ... maybe a Seabee? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glencoe kit isn’t bad ( I built one last year) but it comes in two options one is molded in clear styrene and the other opaque styrene and as a result doesn’t have windows and it’s a big job to remove the windows and replace them with clear parts.

Ah, yes, I have the Glencoe kit - transparent, fortunately. The kit does reflect its age (1947 IIRC?), with all the detail (or lack therof) that you'd expect from a design of that era.

trickyrich Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 welcome along one and all so far. I have a rather long list of suitable models for this one, I think I'd go large too, 1/32nd Bronco (that just showed up! ) or a resin MDC Ki-61 Hien that has been sitting around for ages waiting to be built (I actually have 2 of them). Anyway I'll start a list to keep track, I think this idea may be a bit of a slow burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 This is cool. Built after 1945? First flight after 1945? Or designed after 1945? My eligible stash offers, in 1/48 Grumman AF-2/3. An-2, DR-90 Nemesis, Midget Mustang, Grumman OV-1B, Rutan Quickee; in 1/144 Grumman C-2A, Fairchild C-119, Lockheed C-121, DHC-5, Pilatus Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi Rich, I'd like to join in with this if I may? Could you just clarify the scope, though, please - should the subjects be aircraft that were in service post-WW2 or aircraft that were introduced post-WW2? Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark ideally they were introduced into service post WWII. Late version Spitfires/Seafires (Mk.24's & Mk.47's and such) & F-51 Mustangs would be eligible. I'll add you to the list if you like.

David2703 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Interested! Thinking Lavochkin La-9 or 11, maybe even from China or North Korea. I suppose these would be fine as the La-9 entered service in late 1946? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
