I'm horrified to find that this is the only build I have done that would have qualified for this GB: A Ju 88A operated during the Spanish Civil War.

So I'd better rectify that omission PDQ...

Actually, that's incorrect.  I also built this Hasegawa Macchi C.202 Folgore for the MTO GB in 2016.  Was that really seven years ago?!?!? :yikes:

Had a look through my cabinets and found four old builds that fit the criteria.  All 1/72. Roughly in build order:

 

P-51D, “American Beauty” of Capt. John Voll, 308th FS/31st FG, Italy 1944.  I think this is the Hasegawa kit:

 

52944653679_0ccb6d5131_b.jpg

 

Spitfire Vc trop of Sgt G Beurling, 249 sqd Takali, Malta, July 1942, Airfix kit:

 

52944507376_77fa009af9_b.jpg

 

Hispano Nieuport Ni-H 52 of Alfarez Miguel Aguirre Lopez, 1a esc/21 Gruppo, Spanish Republican Airforce, Andujar, Sept 1936, Azur kit:

 

52944973243_486a1a779a_b.jpg

 

Macchi C.202 of Sgt. Mag. Teresio Martinoli, 73 squadriglia/9 Gruppo, Gela Sicily July 1942, Hasegawa kit:

Hellenic F-16C Block 52 in Zeus II Demo scheme built in 2021.

1/72 Kit by Revell, decals by Procal, CFTs borrowed from Hasegawa. I might be tempted to do another Hellenic subject for this GB!

Cheers,

Dermot

Here's a photo of my 1/72 collection of Aeroput (Yugoslav airline). aircraft.  It's not the best photo, but hopefully you'll be able to recognise the aircraft types at least! 

Note the chronological progression of the Yugoslav civil aviation code from X-, via UN- to YU-.

As you can see, I've made seven Aeroput models so far - I'll hopefully be adding an eighth in this Group Build.

       Gidday All, below are two of my previous builds that are similar to HMS Sheffield that I'm doing for this GB. The first is an Airfix HMS Belfast in 1/600 scale, built OOB a long time ago, maybe nearly 20 years ago.

HMS Belfast WWII jm7

 

       The other is a more recent model of HMS Jamaica, built off an Airfix HMS Tiger hull with some assorted Airfix items and a lot of scratch building.

HMS Jamaica jm11

 

Regards, Jeff.

Been down the rabbit hole tonight with Malta spits thinking about entering a second one and remembered one from the past, “New” tool airfix mkI/II with an AML VC conversion set and a trop filter from somebody’s spares box, painted with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue and Xtracrylix Azureblue and Xtradecals markings. Did this over 5 years ago, it’s still on my shelves somewhere
