Well done everyone for voting. I suspect given my glacial pace and the number of other appealing GBs, I won't find time to join. Thank-you, you will be very welcome if you do join. 21 minutes ago, Ngantek said: Still, I've always wanted to build a support carrier like HMS unicorn {snip}. I guess a normal carrier is a little dodgier (I suppose one might see the aircraft as its 'weapons'). I rather dodged this question earlier. Aircraft carriers could be built in the Salty Sea Dogs section. I'll come back to this. 33 minutes ago, Ngantek said: Would a small inter war civilian passenger aircraft be suitable for example? Generally, a civilian passenger aircraft would be suitable. Think about the machine's role. 43 minutes ago, Ngantek said: Another might be finally resurrecting my MISC feelancer build maybe Yes, the Freelancer's design role is a cargo hauler, with secondary roles as vehicle or passenger transport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently I'm thinking of this stash-lurker. {snip} or this one, if I can obtain decals for Night Fright. {snip} Both excellent choices Tim. 26 minutes ago, PhantomBigStu said: Glad this got through, the slot will dictate what I enter, an early slot and It'll be a Dakota, a later slot and will be a c-130.

DaveJL Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Think I'll sign up for this one too. Have a few options that would work - 1/144 C-17, 1/72 Victor (tanker) or a 1/48 Chinook (would be loaded up as a MERT machine in Afghanistan if that is eligible!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My original thought was my favorate aircraft, a 1/48 C-47 or several of the 1/144 C-47s in my stash. But now I'm thinking of 1/48 CCKWs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 A C-47 in whatever scale sounds good, not the gunships, obviously, but ... And you'd need a tuck to service them, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 my options keep growing it seems, how about the venerable 1/4 ton truck (ie Jeep)?

Still, I do have a pile of CCKWs to build in various roles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me, I raided a Bronco Parachute Regiment jeep for it's truck; still got the main kit available for this build. p.s., binge-watched SAS Rogue Heroes on iPlayer over the weekend; their jeeps would be a 'No'.

PhantomBigStu Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 And the aforementioned Dakota has arrived just a little early for this….was meant to go straight onto the bench but I can wait, something else I’ve been putting of has replaced it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
