Yep! Although I'm a confirmed aerophile, "any subject" means exactly that.

I'm a maybe for this one, depending on what ideas I can come up with.

My skills are well below-par with some of you lot, however!

Would something like this be what you have in mind? Dazfix Spitfire

Would an Airfix Hawker Demon converted to a Hind count?

HAWKER Hind, not the Russian helo, before anyone says "Good trick if you can do it!" or some such! :roll:

Oh!, and also, would a figure conversion, say a German tank crewman converted to an RAF pilot count?

I can't see why not at the moment. What are the changes you'd need to make?

Stuart (Sir T), are you interested in taking part?

I'll leave this for another week or so to see if there's any further interest and then put a poll together re start date. Given previous comments, I'll poll Q1 next year.
regards,

Martin

Yeah go on - if nothing else I have the rest of my Pavla PR Spitfire conversion set.

I assume kit bashing is allowed - Say a mk.XIX and mk.22 Spitfire combined to make a mk.21?

Cheers
