Paul Thompson Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Okay, this is the gun to the head I need to have a bash at my Merlin Airco DH10, although after a closer look I may try the Aurora one instead, if that's okay with you.

Well, I built the 1975/6 reissue when it came out - only have the nacelles left from that one now, so I'd like to see how much trouble I can get into now I know a lot more about the type. OTOH, the Merlin kit is just hard expletive deleted graft by all accounts, but I've seen a lovely little model made out of it, so that'd also be interesting to see if I can come anywhere near that standard - or even make it look like an aeroplane. I've had the Aurora kit for around 15 years, the Merlin longer than I care to remember. In fact I can't remember, so maybe I never bought it and it just grew.

Marklo Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 So close to the bunfight. Anyone want to put this through to 2023? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 As I have a lot of those planes as kits, it might be a good way of getting some of them built. The DH60 beckons as it was one of the first kits I built when I started to add detail. It was from the old Frog/Novo kit. It would be the AModel kit this time.

And could easily have my rubber arm twisted into getting a Tamiya 1/48 Mossie or, shudder, a Trumpy 1/48 Hornet! So I'll push you over the line, I think, 30 right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Pulfrew Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 21 hours ago, Marklo said: Nearly you’ve number 29 In which case I’ll bid for #30. I’ve got plenty of DH98s in the stash that won’t build themselves. My dream, aircraft and when I win the Euromillions, I'm off to Avspecs in NZ to commission a new build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamwig Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 And I'll go for #31 as I worked at Hatfield (in the 70s during school holidays) and my father did nearly 40 years there! I have plenty of de H types to build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the signatories reach the minimum, they usually get moved. Edited February 15, 2022 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Just thought I’d bring this back to the top of the pile to see if we can keep it in the voting consciousness. Would hate for this one not to get through the next bunfight, particularly as I’ve just had a look through the stash and these aren’t going to build themselves 😄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I'd love to join in also. I've got so much DH in the stash I can't imagine most of it not being around in a year's time! A post-war carrier-something or maybe a DH88. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alancmlaird Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Surely longevity and previous offences should be taken into account while counting up the votes..... ....because, spanning (see what I did there?) over 45 years (Dove, Gipsy Moth) to this afternoon (Moth Major), with at least four other offences to be taken into consideration (Mossie, Puss Moth, Dragonfly and DH125), we should be allocating multiple votes? So I make that...1,2,3 err 4, 5........11, 12, 13, 14 - plus 32, errm.... So that makes it ... 46 now! Yay!!! Just kidding. Put me down for a definite. But what about all you builders with multiple DH models. Put a group pic on here and see if we can generate some serious momentum. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
