A simple GB, convert one thing to another - any subject, any scale, any era, any method, but ending up with a different variant, than what the bits provide for in the box.

Previously-built Models

Post by JohnRatzenberger »

Here post 1-2 images of previous builds of GB-subject models. You do not have to be a member of this GB to do so.

If your model has a build thread on UAMF (old or new), then please include the link.

de Haviland D.H. 4 with RAF 3A engine. Exhausts replaced, bomb racks removed and Lewis guns added to top wing. Aircraft in scheme used for a photographic sortie over the Kiel Canal in August 1917: the operation was called off and this machine was pressed into service in the anti-Zeppelin role. The serial number (A 7459) was overpainted.
