Anyone fancy an Airliner S/B G/B? *** SB Completed ***
As the title says anyone interested in an Airliner build? I was going to suggest one for the Airfix Skykings range but that may limit participation. It is for any manufacturer. Any scale as long as it flies and carries fare paying passengers (or self loading freight as an ex gf who was a stewardess put it)
All the best.

I need an incentive to actually build an airliner and COMPLETE it as well.
I have in mind some sort of classic airliner from the 50s or 60s.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
I like the theme but there was one in late 2015: http://www.uamf.org.uk/viewforum.php?f=324;
GB guidelines say not less than 24 months apart, so I'm guessing it would need to wait 6 months or more.

I had forgotten about that one. If there are enough people interested now I can always resurect this thread at the end of the year.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
I obviously missed the 2015 build. Oh well - I'll have to find some other excuse to build an airliner.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
Surely an airliner must have been mentioned in some book or other and could be put in the 'One for the Books' GB if you wanted?

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
There's always the option of a shared build. I would be up for that. I also think that airliners in military service should be included though not tanker conversions. Pure transport types.
All the best.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
Not sure how a shared build works.
Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
I think (and please correct me if I am wrong here) that it is fewer participants and more leeway with timescales.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
Sounds fine to me. I presume we can pick our own subjects to the chosen theme?
Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B?
Yep. I have quite a few to go at. From the Airfix Heron to the Airfix Big Orange. Even a York conversion is in the pile. A Lancastrian would fit the bill too. As would passenger carrying helicopters.
All the best.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B? Or S/B?
Once I have my current build completed I might very well embark on a 1/144 airliner of some sort.
Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B? Or S/B?
Sounds good to me. That's two of us. Any more takers for theis one?

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B? Or S/B?
Looking forward to this now. My current build is "kind of" in this territory although it's in 1/72 (a NASA C-47).
I have quite a few 1/144 airliners in the stash so I will be a using the "eenie, meenie, miney, mo" method of selection, I think.

Re: Anyone fancy an Airliner G/B? Or S/B?
I have the NASA C47 to do too. To be honest it was one I was considering. I think though I will go 1/144 Airfix.
