Marklo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have a C47 in the stash that would do nicely and wouldn’t mind adding a Ju 52. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to if this is for 2023 as hopefully it will be a good year modelling wise. As for subject typical me it won’t be straight forward maybe something like a stretched RAF Herc? Then again there is a little bit of time to decide so we’ll see how things develop over the next year or so.

Robert Stuart Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Thanks Rob Welcome to the build, whatever you decide to build. That stretched Herc would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) So I reached out to both the Robert R.McCormick foundation, 1st Infantry Division Museum here in Wheaton Illinois(his former estate), and the Chicago tribune for any info pertaining to the B-17. Im hoping to get any photo’s and color info to help with the build. I have one very grainy photo in color so have a rough idea. My ultimate goal is to do a cut-away build showing the custom interior. Hopefully they get back to me or it will be a best guess situation. Edited November 21, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hi there - I consider trying an old kit that once made its way into my stash (no idea how): The Tamiya Krupp Protze SdKfz 69 from the seventies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krupp_Protze Not at all my area of expertise (neither the subject nor the scale). I could easily propose it for the 'Not my comfort zone' GB, too. If there's no more pressing GB in 2023 I'll go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I'll gladly join in I've started a C-46 - to be followed by a DC-6 then a C.160 Transall... Yes - I'm into transport aircraft 😜 (1/72 only) Looking forward to this GB Cheers, Moggy (Come fly with me let's fly away) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 @Toryu, the Krupp Protze would be an excellent choice, can I add you to the list? @Moggy, transport aircraft (whichever scale) are great, welcome to the build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I'd be interested in this one. Have either a Victor K2 in 1/72 or a 1/144 C-17. Would a SAR Sea King (the bright yellow variety) be deemed suitable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Would just the milk tank as a lorry load be allowed? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SAR Sea King, think that'd be OK - anybody with objections, please let me know. @Jabba, the milk tank as a lorry load - certainly that'd be allowed. Wonder what you have in mind, almost certainly not what I imagine (I can remember milk churns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoping to have it finished well before this one will start, there I a club display my old club is having in February where it will fit in nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that thing. Sorry, quoting myself here 🙂 Hmmm also in the stash are a Faun L900 with the SonderAnhänger... or Revell's Krupp Titan with the Hanomag trailer... dammit! This one's going to be tough. And no I will not build them all Enzo! I'll have to take a sabaticcal for that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby No Mac Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sounds like a great idea. I'm probably leaning towards the civilian side; maybe the Italeri Ford Transit or Miniart beer van, or something railway related. Either way, sign me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
