helios16v Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just had a thought...if ASW patrols qualify...I've got a S-3B that I've gotten as far as spraying the base grey in the resin cockpit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see why it wouldn’t be, as we’ve got a Shackleton in the mix already. Sub spotting, artillery spotting…. It’s kinda similar in role I think. Cheers..

Wait a sec....I've got an ES-3A Shadow as well. Hmmm. Got some thinking to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Well, as Maritime Patrol planes seem to be eligible there is always my Fw-200 and Ju-290 - assuming I have the time given the crowded timetable! My entries for the upcoming Transport GB will all be small APC so I may have enough bench space for a biggie Pete Edited February 23 by PeterB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) As said before my intention is to enter a rather obvious subject (but with an unusual spin on it) and if there’s time another obvious one, but now the voices are telling me to get myself a valom rb-45 with the fake raf markings, yep a fairly large short run kit that will be finished in NMF is an absolutely sensible idea…..better stay of the whisky less I buy the valom Edited February 23 by PhantomBigStu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 A|ways fancied a B-45 Tornado but never quite got round to it. Sort of ugly but in a nice way! Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Know what you mean, like the f84 its clearly not a beautiful aircraft but has a solid aesthetic to it. Anyway found a solution that doesn't invloved hiding the whiskey, I've ordered the obvious subject in my post using my amazon voucher balance Thread will be up when it arrives 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Oh dear... I'm clearly within a Dassault event horizon. In the Dassault GB I am building two Mirage IIIs and a Mirage F1. In this GB I have committed to two more Mirage IIIs. But seeing how the camouflage scheme for the Mirage F1CT has turned out, I'm getting a very strong urge to build a camouflaged F1CR in this GB. Somebody help me!!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scargsy Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 On 19/02/2023 at 12:02, bianfuxia said: what do you think about this M551 tank? According to the wikipedia article, its earliest design roots were a contract for a light tank for recon purposes and to be air portable. From the rest of the article, it seems like it wasn't really used in that role. I have many builds so I am easy either way - but what do you think? I'd be happy for this - they were designed as such and used for recon in Desert Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Still finding my kits I do remember putting the Hannover away somewhere logical while thinking I’ll never remember this, hmm well if I can’t find it I might just build the Roland and possibly scratch a Junkers J10 as a replacement… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Hi! İ started my Takom 1/72 FV432 Recon vehicle project on 4 February and tweaked the model a bit. Topic is here. I just wanted to devide the topic.

If you want to open a thread here all I ask is you post the finished article in the Inspiration Gallery rather than the Gallery.
