CliffB Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Welcome to the GB ggc As things stand, the statistics show that 40% of the entrants for this GB will be Vimys! Have you decided on a paint scheme yet? Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Scheme will be something like the FROG B/A. Brown/Buff... Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If anyone wants a copy of the old article in PAM news on updating/correcting the kit, let me know. If you don't want to know, then ignore this post! Thanks for the offer Dave, but thanks to Stevehd I already have a copy. There's a bit to do, isn't there? The hand drawn illustrations bring back fond memories though of early Airfix Magazine conversions Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPNGROATS Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Here are some pics of what you get with FROG Kit # F163. This kit has been in the stash since the 1970's. I paid $ 3.39 USD for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrovski Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Modelling byplanes scares me rigid. Never done one and the thought of all that rigging would give me nightmares. Lots of kudos to you ggc and our other brave men Cliff, gcn and spazman! I'm watching these threads with great interest!
