Hello Mark,

 

I follow the activities of the construction group every day, and I'd love to come back and play with you.

O.kay, I'm going to build that Noratlas!

So I'm officially applying for a new two-engine subject.

😉

 

Regards,

Hi Eric,

 

your Noratlas will be most welcome - it'll be absolutely great to see this kit being built! Just start your build thread whenever you're ready!  

 

Cheers,

Mark

Oh this is going to be good! Expet a stampede for the front row seats, especially after your Connie work

Three great options there, George, any one of them would be a splendid addition to the GB roster. Of course, I could go all Enzo and say, "Build 'em all!" The Noratlas was quite heavily discussed a few pages back, istr, so that would be my vote winner  But of course, the Tunnan has the family connection to your other builds, so maybe that's worth a thought.

 

Looking forward to seeing what you decide!

 

Cheers,

Mark

 

Just had a start on the Noratlas and I am while check fitting the main pieces I notice I am missing 1 of the clam shell doors. What a balls.

Hello 👋 

hoping everyone is well.

 

I apologise for being… not so good with technology. I realised that I must change my title; to reflect that the model

to be made is a Czech C23; the Czech designation for an MS-230

I have looked and tried, but failed 😔 

 

I don’t know how to change the title 🤦‍♂️ 

 

Please can someone advise me on how to change the title?

 

Hoping all are having a nice weekend,

Tony

Go to your first posting.  Click on the three dots, which will let you edit the title.

After a break from modelling over the winter (many reasons, don't ask), I'm going to kick-start things by jumping into this GB. I have at least 3 kits lined up, 2 of which are not being built by anyone else. I'll start the threads over the next few hours.

As part of a massive stash-plundering, I recently acquired the following vintage Heller kits (along with some others in not-so-vintage boxes):

 

Of these, the Corsair (which was originally one of my kits) is the only one I'll be building this time, although I will also be be building re-boxes of both the Ar 196 and NiD 622.

 

My plans have changed since yesterday, as I bought two more Heller kits earlier today, both of which are being immediately promoted to "build now" status.

Great stuff and welcome aboard! Three builds - looking forward to watching them progress!

Have done so, so much better though hascome with the downside of making my etendard look much darker than it actually it is or indeed looked in the bad photos

Hi Guys! 

 

Just a quick round-up to say that we have, by my reckoning, thirty-one Gallery entries so far, and splendid they are, too! As of today we have just one more month of Heller-inspired fun, so let's get some more of those models finished and on display  And yes, I do include myself in that!!!  

 

Cheers for now!
