I'll be posting my sprue shots and stuff sometime this weekend(-ish) ....

I'll be more productive once the TDF is over ...

I've even had input from the war museum at Valetta in Malta, so I better not bugger this one up!

Hey Daz, I saw this one in the Aviation Museum in Malta four years ago.
OK, so it's a Mk.IXc and not a Vb - but the colours are the same as yours, and it was rescued from a scrapyard on Malta itself. I have more close up photos if they might help.


For my build I will be building this:


but finishing it as this:


on the grounds that I have both kits but started the F-15E years ago and stuffed it up but still have the decals and armament etc. and the F-15A is the same mould more of less anyway as it actually came out before the F-15E kit.
I need to get this one done for Farnborough Show in September so it won't be a leisurely build for me!

I mentioned building a 1/32 Revell Hunter a while ago but seem to have been forgotten!!. I now have a 1/24 Airfix Spitfire Vb, can I still play?.

Of course, and my apologies for having "forgotten" you.

That would be good, ta!

My mate has sat in that Spitfire. By all accounts it's a great little museum.

I'll wait until you have your build thread up and running and then pop them in there for you Daz.

Crikey! I didn't even know there was a Texan in that scale!

[SJPONeill]

I am torn (little paper modellers inside joke... ) between choices...I did say I was going to restart the big TSR.2 and that's still a possibility but someone sowed the seed of a large scale maritime build for this GB and I keep coming back to this...

...but I have to be brutally honest say that the base is the big attraction at the moment:

....and in locating the parts for that, I exposed myself these...

...and...
...
...and they bullied me into being contenders as well...

Sleeping on it...would prefer one long build I think...

[JohnRatzenberger]

Wow ! I had to Google the Flettner because I didn't realize the "kit" cover showed 2 machines. That would be neat and I'd welcome the turret base as part of the GB if that helps you decide.

[SJPONeill]

Thanks, John, the Flettners it is...I didn't think I'd need much of a nudge but the bigger ones were starting to gang up on me...

I have just ordered a card 1:33 scale Polish Helicopter kit on eBay, if it OK by you I will try and join in when it arrives.

[JohnRatzenberger]

Of course it's OK, and that's why it is leisurely .... OTOH, my experience ordering from Poland is that you won't spend much time waiting ...

[DazDaMan]

Yeah, I've bought stuff on eBay from Poland - came within a few days!
