scorpion Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 just curious if there is a "what if" gb....in other words ,aircraft in national and squadron markings of a country that never flew the particular aircraft in question.for example an irish air corps bae hawk [which they very nearly did buy]....i would say there would be some intresting models in a group build like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 That's the idea Scorpion. Anything that didn't really exist is good for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well I've gome up with two ideas, both needing 'back stories'. One will be a remarking, but no decals exist so will require a bit of scavenging in the spares box. The second will be a real kitbash/mangle. My work on the stories today as I wait for paint to dry on the B-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise yes so long as it didn't really exist. You thinking about some type of British Battle Fighter by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Here are some builds to whet everyones' appetites Aeroscale ran a "What if" Campaign last autumn. We had an impressive number of finishers. A while before that kicked off, I did a Soviet "Ta-183" with an elaborate backstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the links Jessica. All well worth a look. That's a glorious backstory by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thought I'd signed up as I don't see my name listed. So I'd better join up. Got a couple in mind involving simple caapint jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 not long to go.... soon be upon us... am looking at a twin-engined Gnat, may even make her swing wing. I guess just test markings so silver + reg. numbers only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Count me in!! I've been looking at several fake aircraft sites for inspiration. I was particularly taken with a twin-fuselage H P Victor - a Victor B4? Other ideas ; Four engined DC-10 with a V-tail & 2 rear mounted engines B-49 bomber - with a revised 2 pilot cockpit & 6 over wing mounted TF-33 turbofans Hyperion - Strategic Reconnaisance aircraft derived from Concorde design. Powered by 8 R R Olympus 593 engines in over & under wing arrangement. I'll be using an unbuilt Airfix 1/72 Concorde & bits I've salvaged from a wrecked one for this!! In case you are wondering, Hyperion was one of the Titans in Greek mythology. His name, in English, means "The High One" Edited August 23, 2012 by Albeback52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
