Col. Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) Welcome to the GB Andrew, you're in plenty of time to join. About 5 & 1/2 months to go (Gary has if down to the exact number of days if not hours!) so no worries about a cut-off date yet. Look forward to seeing your progress. Oh, what kit are you going to use out of interest? Edited October 6, 2007 by Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, what kit are you going to use out of interest? ...No need to panic then. I'll probably use my Hasegawa examples on this project, although I do have one or two Italeri kits in the pile. They will all be 1/72 scale. What have you got in the pipeline ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not until the last couple weeks like I normaly do Gonna be hacking up the Revell kit myself but have fond memories of the Hasegawa T2, quite a strightforward build if memory serves. Having seen the work you've done on the Bucc I'm sure it's going to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 But did you get a chance to do any modelling? Nah, all the photo shoot offers have dried up as well lately. Apparently it's something to do with the fickle nature of changing fashion trends... and me being an ugly b@$?@£d of course Seriously though, that's me almost finished the first week of three looking after my mate's pub and I'm knackered!

russ Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Must resist temptation..... oh bugger it, I'm in. Plan is 1/72 Italeri Jaguar T2, OOB, I'm liking the desert pink version on the back of the box, but I can't find any pictures anywhere of this version in these colours and looking at the blatantly wrong colour instructions in the cockpit and wheel wells I am now dubious. Can anyone confirm? Second after the above practice will be: 1/72 Hasegawa GR1 XZ364 RAF Cotishall 60th Anniversary With cut and shut Neomega Cockpit. Eduard Etch Xtradecals And any other Resiin I Can get in the time frame such as Airwaves Wing (Currently out of stock at Hannants). Now where do I get that tasty banner from Cheers Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where do I get that tasty banner from Cheers Russ Welcome over Russ. Main reason you can't find reference to the pink T-2 is she didn't really exist but was based on a misinterpretation of some photos taken in the evening light of a setting sun with some unusual camera settings. Paint it grey and you'll be closer to the truth mate. In fact I can vaguely recall seeing the offending photos on Airliners.net a wee while back if you want to take a look.

Col. Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Right you two, pay attention! As I said when Gary so kindly volunteered me, at the end of each month I will do a stock-take of participants and their work. That way we will all have had a chance to get started and gain a clear idea of what we are building. Including me, who hasn't had a chance to do anything with a kit for the last three weeks Now, quit bugging me and go play with your models. I have some young women to get drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
