I think I'm finally got to be liberated from a nasty model ship and a nasty real world. Sign me up for a Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter. (Does it need RAF markings? It did good service in the Med, but it was the best attack plane the Aussies and the NZ had in the Pacific.) I've got one of the Spitfires to back it up if need be. Maybe a Airfix Hurricane. Barring the "big one" I'll get you one at least.

Yes sir PE came with it, what you see is the oil cooler screen front and back. The resin parts came with it as well and are very crisp. Hope I can do it justice. Gonna be fun.

Yes Bish, it is the old monogram kit, the fit is just to bad and with the raised pannel detail it is a nightmare :-(

Theuns

Andy, great to have you on board. And the Hurricane sounds fine. Not to sure about the Spit though, but i reckon i can make an exception for you

Bish I'd like to join in this one. I've got the 1/32 Mk Vb Spitfire from Hasegawa. I also have the Airfix 1/48 Hurricane that I've started on already. I've got cockpit assembled but the fuselage halves aren't together. Is it too far along to build for this one?

No worries Theuns. Isn't that the old Monogram kit? I didn't think it was that bad, though was over 30 years ago when i built it. Let me know what you come up with.

Hey Bish, I have re boxed the B-17, it is just a horrible kit :-(

I have to see what else I have or can get to build that will fit the GB

Theuns

Sounds interesting with that resin in there,did the PE come with it as well. Thanks for posting that pic, i was curious as to what the box looked like havinbg not heard of them before.

Good afternoon all, here is the Tempest I'm gonna build for this GB. The wheelwells, exhaust stacks, and some fidly bits are resin. Ready to rock and roll.

Yep, I'm looking forward to this one too. I pulled the box out last night and looked through the instructions and which camo/version I'm going with.

I need to check my paint stock. 

Only a week to go BK, so just hang in there.

I keep looking at my Beaufighter. I really want to get this one going.

I have a few of their newer 72nd kits, and they all look nice. Need to try and get one onto the bench.

Bish

I have not got to build any opf the new Airfix kits yet, but they do seemed to have upped their game a lot from the old days.

I've built the Hurricane I and Spitfire Vb, and am in the midst of the BF-109E and the fit on these is fantastic; the detail on the Hurricane and Spitfire Vb in 1/48 are second to none.

And there you have it the full extent of my knowledge on the RAF oh well, still gonna be great to be part of this GB. Thanks Bish.

 

Well, i did cheat. I was curious to see what the Wyvern looked like And still gonna be a pleasure to have you on board.

Theres always the FAA GB for the Wyvern.

And there you have it the full extent of my knowledge on the RAF oh well, still gonna be great to be part of this GB. Thanks Bish.

Got you down Steve, and your forgiven.

Is that the one they released a couple of years ago with one aircraft sporting a yellow nose.

 

 

 

It is indeed, though I will be making the version from 602 Squadron. I read good reviews, so I grabbed one.

Hey Bish, I think that my Wyvern S-4 would be more economical for me to roll out. I will build the Tempest first and if time allows sneek the Wyvern in. Box art of both forthcoming this weekend. Hope this doen't cause any confusion.

 

It doesn't take a lot to confuse me . It would be nice to see a Wyvern, unfortunatly it was only used by the Royal navy.

I'm in Bish. Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk I.

Sorry.

We got a good spread of entries here. I wasexpecting plenty of WW2 builds, but we got a selection from WW1 to the modern and everything in between.

Ok guys, got you both down.

Tony, i am guessing thats a 72nd kit. And threats like that will get you no where

armor, look forward to seeing that.

Easy Gamera LOL, I'm a fat kid LOL with floaties LOL. Bish, I picked the kit up at a show in Renton,Washington( USA) a few years back I can't say that it's a limited run but I haven't seen it on any shelves. It is all injected mold and look clean. Before the build kicks off I will get a cover shot posted. 

Both of those sound cool guys but I really want to see that 1/32nd Tempest built!

I've been staring at that for over a year now like a hungry shark eyeing a fat kid on a cheap swim float...

Hi Bish,

I'm overdue for another Airfix Chippy. Please mark me down for one. It will be with some aftermarket decals, as I've already done all of the Airfix options over the years. You're lucky it's not a Spitfire XIX, but I can't promise that I won't :)

Cheers

Tony

Glad to have you on board. Will be looking forard to seeing the Tempest, never heard of that company before so will be intereting to watch. And even the other one will be welcome.

Hey Bish, my wife will hate me for this,( she posts my pix for me), but put me down for a 1/32 Tempest from Pacific Coast Hobby. And maybe just to rib ya a 48scale Eduard Spit Mk IXc. Gotta convince the wife to let me spring for it. Defenitly in with the tempy though. Thank you sir.
