The existence, let alone the timing, of an "Aussie Wings" GB has not even been confirmed, so no need to pass on it just yet!

Sorry, Australian Bruce,

I assumed from Merlin's first quote above that he meant an August timescale for this GB. If you're thinking ahead further, then I would be very keen to take part.

regards,

Martin

I could do Aussie wings. I got a nice Spitfire VIII and dandy decal sheet for it.

How about another FROG Group Build?

So much to choose from there.

Well, I think the current state of play is MJ is Bruce.

Brews is Aussie-Canadian Bruce.

BWP (me) is Australian Bruce.

Do we have any more Bruces lurking out there?

Normally I dislike "handles" intensely, but in this situation they seem appropriate.

Darn It

Post by Old Joe »

As a newbie to the forum, I'd like to participate in a group build. It would be nice to get back to spilling paint and getting glue on the carpet again, instead off just stocktaking and planning the next build. A little discipline would be good.

My problem is that I'm not sure which of my kits have RAAF markings. What I need to do is set up a database which will also list the various decal sets that come with the kits , , , I'll be right back :)

RAAF GB

Post by Old Joe »

Is this build to go ahead? I can't easily source an RAAF kit in my stash but there is a Revell 1/72 Supermarine Walrus, flown in WWII by the RAAF, in Hannants. I have the same kit by Airfix but it will be a challenge. It is an old mould and there is a lot of filling and sanding involved. There was a 'Build Review' in Airfix Model World magazine and they went into detail as to the problems.

I think my first GB should be an Airfix kit, but there could be a lot of swearing when I take on the Airfix kit.

Just placed an order for the Revell Walrus and the Airfix P-40. First build will be an Airfix Walrus, scavenging the decals from the Revell kit. If I have problems I can always fall back on the P-40.

Sorry, Australian Bruce,
Now, I'm confused. Can we call you Bruce, Martin?

Bruce (Canadian Bruce = Brews)

Bruce (Australian Bruce Probs) got it right!

And you can call me Bruce too if you like! :grin:

Martin

Is there anybody out there, who fancies messing with the Airfix Westland Scout, sooner, rather than later?
Not sure if it's worth a Poll just yet.

Yep...sometime next year though...It's always been one of those Airfix kits that I've eyed up since I was about 9 years old but never bought let alone built...was it Airwaves that did some update sets for it...?
