This is now another possible for this GB

Er.....are you sure that's an interwar bird? I'd never seen it before and it looked interesting so I looked it up. Either wiki is wrong, or this is a Vichy French version of the Siebel 204 that wasn't produced until 1942.

Ha! To be honest I was going on appearance alone when I considered it as a possible so thanks for digging up the reference martial for me! It may appear in the cargo hauler GB instead now

[DazDaMan]

Plenty of interwar Spitfires, Hurricanes and Me109s.

Just saying....

Now there's a surprise!

[VickersVandal]

Hmmm....109s, Spitfires and Hurricanes eh.... now there's a radical departure from modelling cliches!

I agree, it totally has that 1930s French airliner/liaison look about it (reminded me a bit of a GAL Monospar too) so I was quite surprised to find it was WW2 era.

If you're thinking French interwar, how about the Heller Caudron Simoun? Very neat little machine.

Dig out those pre-WW2 oddities

[DazDaMan]

I'll take a trip up to the loft next week!

[JohnRatzenberger]

Still in, too many choices.

[Chuck Finley]

Since interwar ships will apparently be allowed, would the new HMS Hermes by Flyhawk models be allowed? I was thinking about building her as she appeared when recommissioned on August 24, 1939 following her brief refit. Photographs show her in a overall grey scheme. So, I was thinking AP507B vertical surfaces and AP507A flight deck. Would she be an appropriate subject for the build?

[fredk]

As she appeared on August 24th 1939?
Thats fine by me and the guidelines.

From here on Arcwelder should be taking over.
He's the GB Leader

[fredk]

A real shame about this one. It looks like one of those oddities produced by the French or Czech before WW2

[JohnRatzenberger]

Your GB forum is open here -- Enjoy!!

Just found this. I am looking to build some inter war models of one of the Squadrons in which I flew - namely 29 (F) Sqn. Please add me to the list of participants, which model? Well the choice is Siskin, Bulldog, Demon, mind you it means trying to do silver! My success in that arena leaves much to be desired.

[fredk]

Ach shure you'll manage.
No matter what silver I use I find a coat or two of Klear/Future or similar to seal it really helps
>> Sometimes as you build bipes some parts need painting silver as you build; a coating of Klear helps stop the silver rubbing off as you work. Thats the way I do it.
