Bish? RAF? Are you sure?

I will be in this, one of the newer Airfix kits - Defiant , Lightning or Hurricane.

Yes, i know, shocking. I do have a few in the stash.

Thanks for signing up.

I think I can work something in. ....let's see what's in the stash......

AH YES!!!  I have a 1/48 Tamiya Bristol Beaufighter Night fighter just waiting to be done. I think that will work.

Seems theres enough interest already, thanks guys.

I'll contribute an Airfix 1/72 Handley Page Hampden.

Nice one check, not a subject we see often.

Oh gosh Bish, I said I wouldn't get into anymore GBs and then entered about five or so...

Maybe, maybe, I'll join you guys here. I'll have to see where I'm standing in April. If I do I have a 1/48th Eduard Hawker Tempest I started on the cockpit but never got beyond it. I've been thinking about just over-painting that and starting over from scratch.

You know you want to G, and it wouldn't be the same without you. And there plenty of time to finish those off and jump in here later. I have managed to really cut down on my GB's. I think i was in 10 or so at one time. Now i am only have 3 i am commited to.

Thanks Bish, I hope when I get back from the vacation/holiday I'm on now I'll be recharged and ready to finish off my halftrack and a bunch of other stuff. Cross your fingers!

I'm sure you will be rearing to go when you get back. Just have a great time while you can.

Umm, Bish, would a Spitfire qualify??

I'd be up for it Bish, but would leave a decision on the subject until it actually kicks off.

Cheers

I'm interested too.

Just to be sure, non British designed aircraft are accepted, as long as they have RAF markings?

regards,

Jack

There i was, haveing a nice day (well, for a Monday). I got to work, had a few mins spare, thought i would pop on and see what you guys were up to. I saw loads of posts for the 2 GB feelers and thought great, loads on interest.

And then i saw this. Some one had to ask didn't they. And it had to be you.

Yes, that infernal machine counts.

If there is a bright side, at least my day can't get any worse. Thanks Bruce.

Tony, would be great to have you.

Jack, yep,definatly. I will make that clearon the build thread. I am also OK with plausable What If's. Operational TSR-2, F-111 in RAF ,markings, that sort of thing.

Sorry, Bish, someone had to yank your chain! LOL!

Looks like you have plenty of interest! Most likely I'll commit closer to the April start date, and it won't be one of those infernal machines! I promise!

Well, wouldn't be an RAF build without one really would it.

Maybe we all ought to build a Spitfire, just to go along with whatever else we do in the GB?!

Yeah, bad idea.  Sorry I mentioned it. 

Bish- I have got a few bits and pieces I want to throw together for an airfield diorama:

Old (1979!) Airfix Spitfire Vb

Tamiya Tilly Utility Vehicle

Pro Modeler RAF refueling Cart 

ICM RAF pilots and ground crew set

all in 1/48

Sounds like you have it well planned out. Glad to have you on board.

I'd like to join up if I could. I'm pretty sure I can dig up a Spit if nothing else.  Scale will be 1/72, as usual.

You, and even your Spitfire, will be very welcome.

Ok Bish, so it's driving me crazy so I have to know....why don't you like the Spitfire? Being it's from your home country I thought it was mandatory to love it??
