AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 can you not overlap? Why not have a look at the calender? You will see that there are several Group Builds running at any one time. At this moment in time there are three Group Builds running and two Single Type Group Builds running. Next month (April) There will be at one point four Group Builds Running and four Single Type Group Builds running simultaneously. Add to this the number of Group builds that the membership want means that as of this morning I'm looking at dates in early 2013 for new Group Builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basosz Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Just to recognize the amount of GB's that Mish has to deal with and the amount of effort that involves I hereby want to applaud everything that Mish does for us.

F111Fan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Right, I know what I'm doing-and all I'm saying is that it will involve cutting up a Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'd like to see that, Daz. One of my favourite Oddities, the Bv141.. Oh yes, I love that one too. I wish somebody would bring one out in a large scale - Airfix's version is okay as far as it goes but they've obviously taken some liberties with the cockpit layout, given that the gunner is Douglas Bader...

Rhino Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've an idea of what would happen to all the no longer required Tornado F.3's, plans are afoot, but I may not be able to wait that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hythe Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Count me in, lads! Hmmm, am I right in thinking there are two schools of thought on this theme? i.e. the really-could-have-beens vs. the ever-so-slightly-deranged options? I guess my early thoughts on possibilities are: Operational Grumman Super Tiger (with the sidewinders on a spine rail, naturally) Armed Bristol 188 Operational A-26A night-fighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Is it still possible to cound me in for this GB? I am a builder from the Netherlands who loves to do some What if stuff from time to time. Cheers Arnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Keep the crazy ideas flowing gang - not too far away now Arnold, please feel free to join in the fun, perhaps you can share some of your previous What-if work as inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 have been toying with a Russian ME262 (ie they took the tech and used it when they invaded China (US didnt drop the bomb, WWII ran on into 1946 with US invasion of home islands and russian invasion of China).... OR a carrier-borne A-10 (not sure if an A-10 could accelearate fast enough to get off a carrier tho........ and finally a what-if Cuban MiG17 (if that is a what-if, need to see if Cuba did have them).......

A-10 naval strike aircraft shouldn`t be a problem with the use of a catapult launch system and the Cubans had all the early MiGs, 15, 17 and 19.

mrvr6 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 A carrier a10 would be problematic a cat would launch it np but if there was a problem at take off or landing the lack is power would.mean almost certain ejection wouldn't it? Also is it an issue for a carrier if it runs over a bomb laden plane that has ditched on front of it? It'd make me nervous lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
