Mjwomack Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Is there bonus kudos for a contrived double build of car and plane with same name? Take that as me signing up, despite no real idea of what to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I should know better than to look at threads like this. Yes please, more than a few appearing on those lists also linger among my stock. Steve. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Oh! Let's not forget meteorological people's names either!? I think a certain car or plane that can be directly linked with such person should be okay too.

I've got an Airfix Zodiac in my stash, but unfortunately the differences from the Zephyr are more significant than I'd thought . It'll just have to be a Westland Whirlwind (either or both), for me then. Please sign me up . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 In the Zephyr car range there would then be (at least) Ford, Mercury and Lincoln Other cars not listed yet I think: - Ford Thunderbird / Windstar / Lightning / Hurricane - Maserati Khamsin - Dodge Stratus - Plymouth Breeze - Chrysler Cirrus - GMC Syclone / Typhoon - Renault Wind (if that counts as a “car” 😂) - Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud - Jeep Hurricane / Tornado - Isuzu Geo Storm - MG Maestro (=Mistral) - Honda Hurricane (CBR bikes) - VW Vento (jetstream) / Santana - Toyota Blizzard - Lister Storm - Oldsmobile Aurora - Pontiac Wave / Torrent - Gemballa Mistrale / Tornado / Aero - Mitsubishi Nimbus - Nimbus motorcycles (former Danish motorcycle company “Fisker og Nielsen“) - Saab Aero … any snowmobile 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia tells me there were three British admirals whose surnames were Rainier, so how about ships they captained during their careers? There have also been three ships called USS Rainier and an HMS Admiral Rainier. Another one I just came across is Buran - Russian for Blizzard - so I think a VM-T Atlant with Buran on its back might be high on my list for this GB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 My goal is to do either a Hawker Tornado if I can find enough info and figure kut the vulture nose. If not that then a Eurofighter Typhoon in the B.o.B. Livery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's true, except that the CH-47 is named after the American Indian / Native American / First Nations (delete as politically incorrect for your views) tribe, just like every other US military helicopter, not for either the wind or the salmon. To my mind, that renders it ineligible (but it ain't my GB, so I don't really care). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 To add to the list : Convair Tradewind the other Westland Whirlwind Caudron Simoun, Typhon, Rafale And how about vehicles powered by weather engines - there's quite a few. Any chance of clouds being included? That would open up some possibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my party ( er GB) so I’m not going to cry but I’m going to rule that Salmon or Native American tribes are ineligible, we’re definitely not short of subjects, drunk with power I’m now going to start practicing my evil laughs.

Marklo Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) putting my money where my mouth is great kit shame about the colour schemes 7 different airforces, all grey... Actually I’m half hoping that based on neutrality/ defence discussions ongoing, I’ll be able to build the kit in Aer Corp colours. Although going by past form we’ll probably buy something cheap and second hand like the ex South African Fouga Magisters… Edited June 9, 2022 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJL Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'd be interested in this one, probably a Typhoon (Eurofighter variety!). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
