Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Ok its probably the boredom speaking here but how about an all 1950’s aircraft group build ? Im thinking any aircraft built or operated between January 1st 1950 to December 31st 1959. This could include military, civilian airliners, any prototypes, and any modified aircraft would be acceptable. The biggest rule for this build is the aircraft must have had at least one flight. Accidental flight like the spruce goose’s taxi run/flight is an example and would qualify if it was within the dates. 1. CorsairFoxFourUncle 2. Chrisj2003 3. The Rat 4. Marklo 5. modelling minion 6.

Chrisj2003 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Dennis, a cautious yes from me, there a quite few in the stash that tick this box, but most are NMF which I don't like / will master one day. I'm sure there is a Hunter as well. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rat Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Another (very) cautious 'yes', although I'm notorious for moving at a glacial pace. There is also a 1950s GB on the What if? board, and I have a bunch of projects on the bench. But I have an idea that I was already researching, in fact it was what brought me to this post a few minutes ago. Any idea on how long the build would be going on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a total of 30 members showing interest. If that happens before November we get to go through the required voting process. If in the top 7 builds we get a time slot that would last a total of 4 months sometime in 2024. I will add you as a tentative signup as there is no obligation or requirement. It just means you have an interest in the build. Edited March 4, 2023 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 This sounds like a damn good idea to me Dennis. Am I correct in thinking that this would include the likes of WWII aircraft that remained in service into the 50's such as the P/F-51 and A-26? 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Actually it’s an era I don’t explore all that much but I’m sure I could find something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 A great idea Dennis - almost identical to my Baby Boomers proposal in fact Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see how it looks like it owes a lot to some off the late war German designed. Edited March 5, 2023 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
