81-er Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 This also seems like a good time to remind anyone that hasn't yet to pop over and sign up for the twin of this GB, the Axis Twins James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Thanks Craig. I'm rather excited to have got a GB proposal through to the bunfight. I know it's far from a certainty in the bloodbath of the Bunfight, but just getting there feels like an achievement James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MPM/Special Hobby Bostons are readily available at reasonable price and they are the best in scale. Are you using the Xtradecal set 72-091? V-P No in 48th but am currently watching a certain site - I've got the Xtradecal 23 Sqn sheet. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberDaveToo Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Can I come out and play with y'all on this one? I have a few twins in the stash. Can you tell I have a thing for P-38s? Some bombers too. Early war French machines as well, I'm not sure of the F-82, may be too late in the war. Possibly the same for the F7F, but the good ole MPC B-26 should be good to go. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberDaveToo Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Looks like I overlooked a couple. It didn't occur to me to count the Er-2 as an allied twin. I guess being a cold warrior from the '70s made me pigeon hole the Soviets as a "baddie." And, after nearly going cross-eyed rigging a 1/72 Sopwith Camel about 30 years ago I swore I'd never build another biplane, but I wound up with an inherited Heller Dragon Rapide, so I snagged a PE rigging set to make it a bit less painful... I built the Amodel Er-2 once before, I need an excuse to take another crack at it... Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberDaveToo Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Got a few Axis twins to throw in the pot. The Revell He 219 and JU 88 are a bit ancient, but would be nostalgic, the two HE 111s are significantly newer, and they have torpedoes too. The Fine Molds ME 410 is a given, but, although the DML Arrow has more than one engine, and less than 3, it's a bit of a speculative version, so it might not pass muster. I thought I'd toss it in anyway. I got this old thing too. And Horten hears a who times two. The ZM kit is the better of the bunch, but I'm told there are no unbuildable kits. I may wind up turning Japanese though... Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Having had my arm twisted by @JOCKNEY, albeit gently, It will be my pleasure to join you all with this GB. Weakness is my strong suit! Not sure what I have got off head, I think I have a FROG Me 410, and ..... nothing else if my memory serves me right. So a Me 410 it will be.

jean Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Actually, I have as well an Airfix Do 17E which is still well below the 25% completion, despite having been started in the Do 17 GB.... This may actually be a better choice. JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 I have a Tamiya Mosquito reserved for this, but I'll watch the Airfix B-25 C/D rebox with interest.

Beardybloke Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'm up for this - I've currently got (all Airfix 1/72) a Mossie B.XVI, Beaufort and Beaufighter TF.X all in the stash and at least one should survive until next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr91 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi James, I'd like to register an interest if I may. I haven't done a group build before, and I usually stick to single engines due to space restrictions, but I have an old Airfix Mossie in the stash that keeps buzzing at me .......... so maybe this is a good excuse! cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 You'd be more than welcome to join in if we can get this through the massacre that is the Bunfight*, Rob GB's are a lot of fun, but can be rather addictive James *The battle that is the Bunfight is half the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
