Nice does anyone do an F-111

The Crown/Minicraft one isn't worth it IMHO

 

I started building one, then discovered that the cockpit transparency was shaped more akin to an SU-24.

 

It remains uncompleted in my stash.

I've got the Academy 1:288 Shuttle with NASA Transport and one with the SRBs, so I will build both for this GB I think

I have that one in WIP the shuttle is built but the 747 is cursed it was almost finished but it keeps splitting or even falling apart at the moment it is in two halves with all the engines detached…

That is small scale🔍. Because I normally work around 1/144 I've gone for 1/200 which seems small enough

 

 

 

A whole lot smaller than the Welsh Models MD-11 I did years'ago. Somethings never change though and it HAD to be a KLM (variant) livery; it's fun but not especially attractive TBH

I have made a choice for this one.   I have an Airfix 1/144 Boeing 737 in The Stash.    Back in the late 70's when I was nobbut a callow youth, I built this kit using Microscale decals for a very colourful Aloha Airways jet.   Well, I have another set of those decals so I think I want to build that subject again.  

 

But on the other hand, as an even more callow child, I built the same kit in the original Lufthansa markings.  I have Lufthansa decals from 27 Decals in The Stash so if I can find a second kit at a reasonable price, there may well be two of 'em.

And I did it as an air Tanzania one. If you can find those decals anymore you get a giraffe on the tail; what not to like

Are they like 26 Decals, but 3.8% better?

If anyone is interested in Co hosting let me know.

I can keep you company until the end of September if that's any help? After that I'm hosting the 

 

(Quick prom there). Which I expect to be all-conusming and mahussive!

Of course modelling railways in N Gauge, or even T allows you to seamlessly move from one GB to the other. You won't even notice the join.

You're unfamiliar with my track-laying ability!! I might yet be lured into something in T for this, but I really, really, really am trying to control my urges for over-reach.

[Marklo]

Hmm have to find a train for that one. I’d love a Leopold to go with my moser Karl. Or maybe one of those armoured cars that could go on tracks, hmmm

T gauge?   I've never heard of that before.   Do you mean TT?  

[Mjwomack]

No it really is T - no idea why that letter but it's a scale used by architects in their models at 1:450, and now available commercially

Time for a cityscape

 

I have a cardboard model 'kit' for Schipol terminal building l in its original art deco loveliness  in this scale which I could send you, or anyone else for this GB. Also includes a teen weenee DC-3

Every day brings a learning opportunity.

Looks like a chance to finally build a B-52.

[Davek72]

I have no idea what to build but I will definitely participate. 😀

True but could it be 1/144?

Where's the fun in that!

[Dizzyduck]

Count me in, I have an f14 and a f15 that need a reason to build. Failing that good old concorde that I was saving up. 👍🏻

Did you ever get a co-host ? If not I can help a bit as Its in between the ANZAC and U.K.Phantom builds.
