They do come up on evilbay and as most people have never heard of the aircraft in the box, they can be bought reasonably as long as the collectors don't turn up when prices get completely silly 🤪 Best of luck.

TonyOD Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was umming and ahing about this one as I thought I didn't have anything much more interesting than a Dak in the stash (and there's nowt wrong with a Dak, of course), then it occurred to me that I have this Special Hobby Havoc/Boston: One of the schemes in the box, well two actually, are the "Steak and Egg Special"/"Steak and Egg", a repurposed bomber, or more accurately cut-and-shut of two bombers that technically didn't exist but was used for shady booze and food runs. Possibilities in olive drab and later NMF. So if this GB flies I'd like to pitch in with one version or the other, please stick me on the list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can supply a bit more info, then OK, I, did some Googling and found this ... http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/09/steak-and-eggs-unarmed-20-havoc.html Yes, that'll do nicely.

TonyOD Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 @Robert Stuart I’ve already read up on the plane a bit, it’s quite a tale. I particularly like the one about S&E flying under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a completely different aircrew getting the blame. 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 @theplasticsurgeon, those all look good ... had to Google the AW Albermarle, that looks interesting, though the kit may be challenging. Welcome to the build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the build Thanks, I've built a Valom kit before - this Bristol Bombay. Challenging and unimpressive, but not impossible. Adds a certain Je ne sais quois to its appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably do a 1/700 HMS Reaper during Operation Sea Horse Excellent I was wondering how we'd get aircraft carriers into this build (they are 'carriers' after all), and Operation Sea Horse is an example of a support operation.

paul-muc Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I would like to build the Nord 2501 Noratlas (Heller). She is the base of my stash since 40 years and I've got new decals from Heller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Recently ordered this beast of a transporter - Faun L1212 in a 1/144 3d print for a Dutch Army Cold War diorama. Would certainly fit into this GB I feel 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfa1983 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Sign me up. I'll do USS Saratoga or a Bradley AFV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 You are welcome @arfa1983. The USS Saratoga (aircraft carrier) would be great. The Bradley AFV? I'd need to understand the Bradley's role a bit better before saying yes to that; it is called a fighting vehicle, not a carrier or transporter.

helios16v Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Fighting_Vehicle The M2 variant's primary purpose appears to be to transport and provide cover for a small squad (6). A bit smaller and more specialized than a typical APC. There are other variants (M3, M4) but those seem to be focused on specialized roles rather than a squad transport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks @helios16v, that is helpful. @arfa1983, you should be good to go with either the USS Saratoga or a Bradley M2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
