It so happens that the latest issue of Flypast has an article on the BBMF Spitfire XIX PS915, which is currently wearing the markings of an aircraft based at Kai Tak, Hong Kong, in 1952.
It also just so happens that I have an Airfix Spitfire XIX and a Mk.24 in the stash, so count me in!

Re: Nifty Fifties build? *Poll added*
I am a definite - the dates work so it will be a Meteor NF 11/14 of 29(F) Sqn. If that doesn't work then a Vampire T11.

Re: Nifty Fifties build? *Poll added*
So now we are at eight confirmed participants. How many do we need to get this on the schedule?

Re: Nifty Fifties build? *Poll added*
Just a quick question:Chuck Finley wrote:Would anybody be interested in a Nifty Fifties build? The build would cover any aircraft flown from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 1959. The subjects must wear marking from that period and can be any aircraft (civil and military)
Would this include an aircraft that is representing an aircraft from that time period? For instance, the BBMF Spit XIX that I wanted to build!

Re: Nifty Fifties build? *Poll added*
Even though it is a current BBMF Spitfire Mk. XIX with current markings, the aircraft was flying strategic recon missions with No.2 Sqn from 1947 to 1951. In addition, the new markings are for the aircraft that made a record breaking flight in 1952 out of Hong Kong. As long as it wears the markings of the PR XIX flown by Ted Powles, there should be no problems.DazDaMan wrote:Just a quick question:Chuck Finley wrote:Would anybody be interested in a Nifty Fifties build?

Re: Nifty Fifties build? *Poll added*
And now we have nine in our Merry Band. I would be available to moderate the build on the American side of the pond. Is there anybody on the British side to co-moderate?

Thinking about it, I could do as many as three Spitfires for this one GB....!
