It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've finally decided to go for Bulldog K-1676, Bader's 23 Squadron machine. Not a very original choice but it gives me a chance to start on the Wings of Silver sheet at last. I'll be using the vintage (but still good) Pyro kit and the pilot (suitably butchered and with white overalls) from the Airfix Spitfire XII, so that I don't have to detail the cockpit. Roll on September! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Nice choice Andy, that kit can build up nicely with a little TLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach Turtle Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) May I participate with an engine? I would like to build the Williams Brothers Wasp R-1340, first run in 1925. Edited July 23, 2012 by Mach Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I've done a bit of scribing on this, but nothing more as yet. Might I please be allowed to join this GB? Edited August 12, 2012 by Vulcanicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 My list of potential subjects is growing: Silver Wings Flycatcher, Siskin, Hart or maybe another Gamecock. Then there's the Alleycats Fury, Aeroclub Gauntlet or Demon, Hmmmmmm............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Hmmm... Forgot I'd signed up for this - but really cannot resist... Either: 1:32 Swordfish 1:32 Bristol Fighter 1:32 Hawker Fury 1:32 DH 88 Comet Racer 1:32 Boeing F-4B 1:32 P-26A 1:32 Avia B.35 We'll see - need to clear decks of a few other bits first... iain Edited August 12, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 A delicious sellection there Iain. Certainly a golden age for aviation with such lovely aircraft and colourful schemes around. You able to pick a favourite from that lot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 You able to pick a favourite from that lot? Noop! There are other options too - I think I may just spontaneously combust coming up with one... Still another few weeks to decide Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Noop! There are other options too - I think I may just spontaneously combust coming up with one... Me neither and what's worst is the next few weeks are tempting me to add other options to the stash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbaldbloke Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Somehow missed this one. I have several Schneider Trophy kits in the stash and I think there's a GeeBee and deffo a Spirit of St Louis if I may join in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi there fbb, yes you can most certainly join in the fun. Schneider Trophy,GeeBee, Spirit of St Louis, you're talking our language! Vulcanicity, the Gladiator is fine. Scribing comes under prep rather than building (in my book anyway) so it's all good. Going for a Silver scheme or camo? Iain, that list of 1/32 stuff looks great! Not long now, should get the keys to the club house from Mish soon, do a bit of sweeping up, make sure there's plenty of tea and biscuits in the cupboard. Must get the runway grass cut too... Torn between saving my floatplanes for the Floatplane/Seaplane GB next spring, or to do one for this. I do love a floatplane from this period, really Art Deco. Look at this beautiful Supermarine S5...stunning! Laters, Doug (aka Buzz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must get the runway grass cut too... Laters, Doug (aka Buzz). Champing at the bit for this to start, Sir. It is my usual period anyway, and looking forward to meeting some fellow spirits,. I will be doing two builds, at least. In addition to the Abu Sueier Vimy Trainer (from a Maquette Vernon reboxing of the oold Frog/Novo kit).... I will be doing this Fokker DVII (using a Roden DVIIF/late).... A normal DVII, except that it was operated by the U.S. Marines at Quantico between 1920 and 1923....

sunshine coast Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Itching to get going on this one..... lots of USA subjects to choose from in 1/48............ but it may be a bit of a dis-jointed build as I know I will be in hospital again for at least a month in the middle of the GB..... and can you believe it the NHS does not seem to want to move my treatment around to suit the GB ... how inconsiderate !! on the other hand I may be able to build more models if I can take part of the stash in with me Regards Trevor....
