Biplane, when 2 wings are better than 1

[JOCKNEY]

 

OK, now you have all got at least one of these in the stash and usually the fear of rigging ( I'm looking at you @Jinxman  ) puts us off ever building them.

 

So this is our opportunity, let grasp the nettle, face our fears and embrace the moment 

 

Who's with me ?

 

Cheers Pat

If it has multiple wings I’m in. I have many butterflies land in the stash and I’ve even built triplanes and quads….

I laugh in the face of rigging, 😄.

Now where is that Contrail Supermarine Southampton - count me in if you would, good sir!

[Tim R-T-C]

I'm definitely in, got a stash full of Valom biplanes.

 

 

Will quads be allowed too? 😁

[ColonelKrypton]

count me in too, please and thank you.

 

cheers, Graham

 

[John Masters]

Oh yes…I do love  a good rigging session!  Count me in…

[Corsairfoxfouruncle]

I will figure something out snd try stretched sprue for rigging ? Maybe I can find one of the old 1/28 Revell kits ? 

[stevehnz]

Yes please, I can think of several that involve minimal rigging.

Steve.

[Bonhoff]

Please.

[Jb65rams]

Please add me to the list, got about 40 in the stash, so should be able to find one or two to enter.

Oops! Make that a Blackburn Perth - must brush up on those recognition skills or lack thereof, 🤭

Oh dear, that reminds me I've got one as well !

 

Fancy a double build mate ?

I think we should swap kits - I've got the older version where the wings look like they have been covered in hessian. But it does come with some of the old Contrail strut material which will be very useful, 😀.

All we need to do is get this GB onto the calendar and we are away!

Just a few more people and a bunfight between us and a Perth double

As someone who's become a bit bi-curious in recent months as a result of the forthcoming Airfix Bristol Bulldog (I've also taken a punt on the Tamiya Swordfish and I'm likely to snap up Airfix's re-pop of the Walrus), count me in

Welcome mate

[theplasticsurgeon]

I've got this one,  count me in.

 

And this one vouched for Classic Airfix later this year.

[WarhoffModels]

You know what, I got a biplane in the stash that is 1/72 that I've been scared of building, but this GP could be a good chance to get to it eventually 😆 I'm in lads!

[Keeff]

Well, there's times when you have to push your own skills, right? 

 

Nothing in my not-a-stash stash, but I'm up for something different!  

 

Keith 😁 

[Black Knight]

Add my name to the list please

I was waiting till you got past no.13

Its not that I'm superstitious, but why take chances?

[Pin]

I loooooove biplanes and plenty I have. Briefly looked through my stash, 20 boxes would qualify, among them some monsters and rarities like Bizerte, Bodmin, Overstrand, Gotha IV, Felixtowe etc. so one GB may not be enough

[Richard Humm]

I have a few biplanes that need to get built (and possibly even rigged). I'm in.

[Ray S]

Count me in on this one please. I have quite a few contenders, to say the least

I may well be in with something Finnish - it depends on timing.

 

Southampton - hmmm

 

@theplasticsurgeon Gauntlet...  hmmm.... not without its problems
