Ettore Tornado GR1? That one might be a wee bit too modern for this GB! Will be great to see the other two built though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Up to 19 now after @PhantomBigStu indicated on the Matchbox GB that he’d like to take part. (Edited) (Edited again). So like the Thunderbirds from the next one we can count down from 10 to get in the Bunfight already! Edited January 1, 2022 by Rob S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yep. I’m definitely up for this one (I’m in at #11 as it is) just had a chance to sort through the stash to see what I’ve got available. 1/72 to 1/24 with stops in between; a few too many perhaps? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1/200 scale resin/white metal kit, which I think was produced by a company called HBM. I occasionally enjoy building these tiny beasts, as a bit of light relief from more conventional kits Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 1602 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi Rob, count me in please! I have an Airfix 1/48 Sea Fury in the stash; I’ve also been eyeing up some of Eduard’s Tempests, so may have something else by the time this GB comes around. Great idea for a lineage build 👏 Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must look out for HBM in the future. Must admit I thought it might have been something in 1:100 or 1:96 and was trying to think of any TTTFSF kits in those scales.

I built this 1/96 Eaglewall Typhoon last year. It dates from the 1950's, has many accuracy issues and really has little to recommend it apart from its nostalgia value Much better is this 1/100 scale Typhoon from Victrix, which IIRC was released in 2012. Each box contains three kits, with high quality decals provided for three different schemes. More recently I've been introduced to the 1/100 (15mm), range of wargaming aircraft from Old Glory This range includes a Typhoon and a Tempest. They have a couple of limitations however: they are made of solid resin (including the cockpit canopies) they are intended to be 'in flight' models, so there is no u/c or prop provided. They seem to be quite accurate though and nicely moulded. Many include additional parts for ordnance. I bought their Swordfish (not made yet), whose open cockpit and fixed u/c circumvented a couple of the limitations! Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 @Enzo Matrix with the way Ju 88 and Do 17 "families" are allowed to be treated as STGB, wouldn't this Hawker fighter lineage be one such too - thus 25 members would be enough to throw this into Bunfight - if @Rob S wants this to be treated as an STGB, they are a month shorter too .

Anyway, just my ! V-P Not really. The Do217 was an incremental development of the Do17. However, the Hawker aircraft were new designs using experience gained from the previous aircraft. The Tornado and Typhoon actually had very little in common. Although the Tempest was originally designated Typhoon Mk.II, the resulting aircraft was so different that it was given its own name. Similarly with the Sea Fury. Originally, it was designated "Light Tempest" but again the resulting aircraft was so different that it got its own name. I think this concept is far better suited to a full GB. The extra month may give some maniac the chance to build one of each... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have to disagree, in so far as the Tornado and Typhoon, although less twins than sometimes thought, have the same wings, tail and fuselage, just positioned slightly differently to get the Vulture engine to fit. The Tempest has a new wing but only a slightly modified fuselage. The Sea Fury has the Tempest wing with the centre-section removed, and basically is a lightweight Tempest. There is no doubt that all four share a common development line and parts in common. (Though it might be difficult finding parts common to the Tornado and the Sea Fury.) In comparison the Do 17 and 217 have different wings, fuselages, tails and engines. Really they have little to nothing in common beyond the configuration. The Do.217 is a much stronger, heavier, more powerful aircraft. A Beaufort compared to a Blenheim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
