Reconnaissance (or Scouting for the hard of spelling) Chat

[Scargsy]

Hey Col, sorry been a bit quiet. Thought this thread had died a death, didn't seem to get notifications. I guess I need to go back over it and put the names on the list!

[Scargsy]

34 by my reckoning (sorry if I missed anyone) bunfight time!

 

[wellzy]

I am loving  this Subject  so meany recon aircraft  out there  atm 🤔  thinking  US 8th  AAF  B25  

 

Wellzy 

[Tbolt]

Okay I'll have  go at this, if @Scargsy could add me to the list please.

 

Just got to decide what to build as I've got plenty of eligible aircraft in the stash.

[PeterB]

Both the Fw 200C and the Ju 290A were classed as maritime recce I guess, though they also could and at times did attack the ships they had found. Would either of those be eligible and do I need to leave the bombs off?

 

Pete

[ModelingEdmontonian]

Yes please! I have one of those Spitfires with a camera that will be a simple addition.

[Jb65rams]

Came across the following when tidying up the stash, forgotten I had bought it.

A bit of a departure from my normal subjects, so if it is eligible I am in.

Fw 200 and Ju 290 would be eligible in maritime reconnaissance / patrol bomber roles.

Yes more than welcome, scouting troops, forward observers, etc.

 

[Black Knight]

I intend to build a couple of individual figures

Well done Pete, I did note the word AND between Fw200 + Ju290 so look forward to seeing both in this GB 

 

Cheers Pat

Assuming this gets through the bunfight carnage would a MQ-9 Reaper qualify?  I’ve got other choices in the stash that definitely do, but I’m keen to get that done.

[TonyOD]

Stick me on the list please. Got a Spitfire PR XIX inbound that would feel right at home here.

[Bertie McBoatface]

I think I have a S.O.D. of a kit, sorry a kit of a S.O.D. (Sawn Off Daimler Scout Car) for this one so you can add me to the nominal roll @Scargsy.

Yeah I guess a Reaper would qualify, mainly designed for high-altitude surveillance - even though it does have 'teeth'.

[Thom216]

Hey, go ahead and add me to the list!

Added, though I'm not sure if it makes much difference now as we're in the running for the poll, which should open soon. Maybe it does for GB contenders that don't make it through first year?

I have no idea, but thanks!

[RidgeRunner]

Vote in! 🤞

[Thom216]

Voted!

[helios16v]

Off to a shockingly strong start.  Encouraging.  Looks like I may have to go see what I have available for recce birds.

Time to have a scout around in the stash! 🤭

 

Sign me up @Scargsy, I’ve voted and am very keen for this one. Think I’ll convert my Hasegawa F-111C into an RF-111C.

[Bullbasket]

You can put me down for this. I have a couple of M3's and an M5 in the stash, so they should qualify.

 

John.

My stash is not overflowing with eligible subjects, so I'll keep following the chat to see how it evolves.

I do have this - unarmed AEW.  So add me to the list.

 

And this Tracer conversion, for the Tracker.

[Thom216]

For this, I have a BF109 Recce and a resin conversion for a 1/72 F-15 Reporter.

Might I inquire as to who's resin F-15 Reporter ? Its a type Ive wanted to do since the 1980’s and haven't yet been able to find a source for the bits ?
