wyverns4 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hello, Can I make 16?

Heraldcoupe Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Welcome aboard Daz & Wyverns4. I'll do an updated list of names next weekend, rather than annoy everyone with an ever changing list! Anyone know about making banners? Avoiding swastikas might be difficult without losing context.... Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousFO98 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Don't mind having a bash at a banner, Bill. As long as you don't want it yesterday If you have something in mind let me know - or if you have any pics you want to use. If any one else wants to do them instead that will be okay too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any one else wants to do them instead that will be okay too Be my guest! During their war(s) the Finns were flying British, German, American, French and Russian machinery, it would be good to give a flavour of that diversity. Meanwhile there's the pre and post WW2 aircraft, a banner could get cluttered...... So have a go and see what you come up with. I have various photo packages, but no Photoshop. I'll have a play around but I'm not sure I can produce anything worthwhile, Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deon Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a good gb idea, I'll join if i may, no idea what to build though. I'll pull something from the stash, even if its the Airfix Me109, although I might come up with some Finnish armour..although i found an I16 and a MS406 right here mm what to do?

AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Build number two arrived today, it wasn't supposed to be for this GB but I opened the box and it has Finnish markings as an option. What is it? 1:48 Roden Gladiator MKII with skis. I got it with the intention of doing one of the Malta defenders, guess I need another now.

CPNGROATS Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well Finn fans here are some more possibilities for builds on the upcomming Finnish A/F GB: All of these kits being 1/72 scale. Finnish Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Finn fans rejoice>>> more possibilities for the GB.. Fokker D.XXI.4, post war markings only Kit comes with either wartime or post war markings. This Hurricane is the early "rag wing" with a two bladed prop How cool is this, a Gauntlet in Finnish markings..! markings for three a/c An indiginous design, the "Myrsky" flew briefly during the war.

AnonymousFO98 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Have a couple of those AZ Model Hurris Daz but sadly not the Finnish markings Bought the Hase boxing but frankly wish i had paid the extra for the AZ kit some really good options there ggc. yum yum!!!

daz greenwood Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 What is the quality like of the AZ Hurri's Walrus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousFO98 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 From what i've seen built they look good is a re boxing of the Sword kit. One sprue of grey plastic. Typical short run with plenty of flash. Interior and wheel wells are resin, with some lovely detailing. without checking against plans looks pretty accurate to me. These early Hurricanes have fabric wings, with three types of props are proivided including the two bladed Watts.. All the ribbing looks well done. The Hase kit will doubtless be easier to put together but to me has a few issues and not worth the extra expense, others may disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Yep, it's the reboxed Sword kit..the resin looks like it's the same. however the RS kit comes with an injected canopy while the Sword kit has two vac-form canopies. The basic kit looks real nice and the decals in both kits are very nice. The Sword kit has options for two a/c while the RS kit has options for three a/c.

AnonymousFO98 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 forgot to say that the Finnish version has serials for decals for: HC-460 HC-452 HC-456 Did these aircraft have the fabric wings. AZ have since released a couple of "Hurricane Aces" kits - does anyone know if it is the same kit with different decals or the metal winged Hurri please?
