Re: Sign-Up and Chat
Im here now As jRatz has said above me the main idea for this one is build a subject of anything that has a weather related name in any language. You can build a ship, a tank or a plane aslong as the name is something to do with weather.
Below is a quick list of planes tyou could build:
Hawker Hurricane
Hawker Tempest
Hawker Typhoon
Hawker Sea Fury
Saro Cloud
Westland Whirlwind (fighter)
Lockheed P-38 Lightning
Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
Handley Page Jetstream
Westland Whirlwind (helicopter)
English Electric Lightning
Paniava Tornado
Eurofighter Typhoon
Republic F-84F Thunderstreak
Republic F-84 Thunderjet
North American B-45 Tornado
A-10 Thunderbolt II
F-35 Lightning II
Arado Ar 234 Blitz (Lightning)
Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun (Typhoon)
Heinkel He 70 Blitz (Lightning)
Macchi C.200 Saetta (Thunderbolt)
Macchi C.202 Folgore (Thunderbolt)
Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt)
If anyone has a subject they arent to sure about just post it up in here and we will see if it is eligible or not for the GB. The main thing is to enjoy yourself and have fun so everyone ccome on in join up and have fun while the weather has fun outside (While writing this is is currently snowing )

Tom

My choice is a Hawker Typhoon, by Oh-NO. Or is that Novo. Only 25 parts so this should be a breeze.

Auster is the Roman name for the South wind.

HMS Lightning
HMS Tornado
HMS Hurricane
HMS Rainbow
HMS Tradewind
HMS Cyclone
and of course, HMS Thunderer ....

Having looked at the amount of work required to do my old Typhoon, I thought I would have a go at a new Typhoon as well, namely the Airfix Eurofighter Typhoon.
