stevej60 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hi folk's my entry for this GB is the Typhoon car door,been a nice easy build of what I believe was one of the last releases before the company folded. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 And to follow Steves car door, here's my earlier issue, from 1959. A bit of paint trouble was overcome. The code transfers cracked a bit on application and could do with a touch up at some point. I'm done for now though.

AdrianMF Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I present the Anatra DS Anasal (F312), from after the company folded, released under the "Red Star" label: The pilot is from a WWI set. I'm not particularly happy with him, so this is just a guest appearance: I replaced the struts and wire wheels; the WIP has all the grisly details! Thanks for looking, Adrian 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelingEdmontonian Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) This was fun! My first Frog build ever! A Hawker Hurricane, dressed up as Karel Kuttelwascher's JX-E, based on an Arma profile and decals. Arma also donated the fuel tanks and spinner, and AZ generously contributed the main wheels and canopy.

CliffB Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 F153 - 1/72 Miles Magister (converted to Mk.1) This represents an early Mk.1 Magister, used for aerobatics at the Central Flying School in 1937. It utilises aftermarket conversion parts and decals by LF Models. The Build Thread is here, if you would like to see the surgery !

PeterB Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 This is my attempt at the old Frog Westland PV.6/Wallace. I had originally intended to convert it to a Wallace in RAF service, but in the end built it as the PV.6 which was part of the Frog Trailblazer series as it was one of the two planes involved in the Houston Everest Expedition. Here is a link to the build thread. Other than a few improvements to the cockpit and adding exhaust pipes and rigging it was OOB. The fit was actually pretty good so it was quite an easy build.

PeterB Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) This is my Frog Vimy which was originally released in the Trailblazer series as the plane used by Alcock and Brown to cross the Atlantic. Near the end of their existence Frog issued a modified version supposedly representing a normal Vimy bomber and I bought one of these later "modified" mouldings many years ago. However I found that the changes Frog made only went part of the way towards representing a bomber and a fair bit of work would be needed to do the job properly. Paul Thompson kindly provided me with details of his conversion and I had every intention of having ago, but as explained in my build thread circumstances meant that in the end I took the easier option and just converted it back to the original moulding. Other than a few modest "improvements" and the blanking off of the fuselage windows and gun positions it is pretty much OOB. It came out better than I expected. I should really have rigged the area around the engines as well but it was too much work for my shaky hands, and I have missed out the double wires and control runs, so it is just an "impression" of the rigging, but better than nothing.

Mr T Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Frog/Novo Miles Master built as a MkII, Central Gunnery School, Leconfield, 1948-9 This is my build of the sixty-year-old Miles Master kit.

The kit has some donor parts from the spare box for the engine and wheels as well as a vacform canopy, and an interior added Build thread is here: Thanks to Jockney and Rabbit Leader (Pat & Dave) for as group hosts and their support.

PeterB Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 This is my Frog Mitchell II. Needed a bit of work to bring it partly up to modern standards but has worked out quite well. The original Frog decs for a machine of 320 (Dutch) Squadron are a bit faint, probably due to a lack of colour density and maybe I should have replaced them. Here is a link to the build. I have since sorted out the marks around the Port wing roundel which were due to a slight overdose of flat varnish! Pete 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Novo re-pop of the F167 Westland PV6/Wallace, bought for four quid at SMW 2018, and converted to a Westland Wapiti in a rather more involved than intended build inspired by the Doug McHard article in the May 1966 Meccano Magazine: The WIP can be found here. Thanks to @JOCKNEY and @Rabbit Leader (and @Troy Smith and @Enzo the Magnificent) for making it all work, and to my fellow GB-ers for making it such fun.

JOCKNEY Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Oh I say, a GB Host with 3 finished builds, what's the world coming to ! This is my much travelled Fokker DXXI, 1st Fighter Group, (1e Ja.V.A), Netherlands Air Force, DeKooy, 1939 - 41. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 First of mine over the line and into the gallery. It's the Frog/Hasegawa MD RF-101C Voodoo recce jet. I've always loved the 101 series and built a few, but this kit ended up loitering....until NOW! Then I found out about Operation Sun Run, the USAF go at claiming some Speed Records. Namely LA to New York, and also the return bothways Record ,landing where the take-off was. 6 RF-101C took part along with a fleet of their new KC135 Boeing tankers and this was a serious workout for in-flight refuelling and planning. Apparently the tanker rendezvous took place at Mach0.9. Each Voodoo had a distinct colour scheme to aid identification. I've done airframe #3, which was actually one of the back-up planes. She filled up and turned for home after the first 2 successfully did the first refuelling rendezvous. The decoration is a mix of spares and self-print. It appears to me that Frog or probably Hasegawa have marked the wing tops to represent extending slats. To be honest I didn't clock it until it was too late-- they're etched out rather than raised. Nevertheless, a very enjoyable build, and I'm thinking I'd like to do another, #4 with Yellow marking looks good to me 😎 Here she is... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
