Does that qualify as a golden age transport or is it more record breaker @Enzo the Magnificent ? It sure would qualify, true it only transported two people but that counts. Just as a motorcycle would also count as a mode of transport. The DH.88 could also does count as a record breaker. Just not sure if there is a build for them on the current roster for next year ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I assume air mail is also art of the equation... I give you the same answer as above John. Yes as long as it transported any humans it would count. And just like @JohnT asked with his question. Itcould also count for a record breaking build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the record breaker GB next year is handy. With my track record I can start in one GB and finish in the second GB - maybe if I am lucky !

And I assume air mail is also art of the equation... I was just about to post the same question! I found the answer above... It is just another possibility - the Airfix HP42 is still my main option but you never know.

MARADER Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Can I build the tractor of Fordson ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are good to go. It could even be a model built prior to 1918 and still be in use at that time ? I only ask that its date of manufacture can be verified.

klr Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I should be able to find time for one kit to build here, probably once the Frog GB finishes. After a quick review of the stash - mostly from memory - I have the following eligible subjects, all 1/72 unless otherwise stated: Airfix HP.42/HP.45 (1/144) Revell [Otaki] Dornier Do X (1/144) Glencoe Models Martin M-130 (officially 1/144, realistically c. 1/132) - bought earlier today Airfix Ford 5-AT Trimotor Heller Caudron C-635 Simoun Revell Junkers F13W float plane (parts for land plane included, but decals only for the float plane) Revell [Matchbox] Heinkel He 70G-1 Revell [ICM] Heinkel He 70G-1 (boxing is of the military version, but has the parts for the passenger version, decals would be taken from Matchbox or Revell) RS Models Airspeed Envoy The only reason why the likes of the Boeing 314 Clipper, Spirit of Saint Louis or Fokker Trimotor are not listed is because I've already built them, many years ago in some cases. The only road-based subject I have is probably the Airfix 1/32 4.5 Litre Bentley (1930), but like the other Airfix kits listed, is probably more valuable as a "vintage" Airfix subject. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All would be great subjects, some of which are on my future wants list. I think Airfix is re-releasing or has re-released the Bentley ? So maybe a newer issue of the kit will show itself in the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Airfix is re-releasing or has re-released the Bentley ? So maybe a newer issue of the kit will show itself in the build. According to Scalemates, the last time the 1/32 Bentley* was released was in 2004, but I'd imagine it must be in the Vintage Classics pipeline somewhere. My kit is a 1978 boxing that I got second-hand a few years ago. I don't really build cars, but I couldn't resist that piece of nostalgia. *The 1/12 wunderkit was re-released in 2020, but even I'm not mad enough to be tempted by that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
