I have a Gloster Gladiator I'd like to build, 1/72 scale, using the Airfix kit and Xtradecals Battle of Britain decal sheet.  According to the Airfix tribute forum, the original dates back to 1956.

Put me down for a 1/72 Supermarine S6B

me on with the 1/72 westland scout ,mold probably 1966..

probably i'll add another later

1/48 TSR 2, starting after I get the AM parts I ordered. I need to finish it by October for 2 shows, and a club build. Stupid work thing gets in the way all the time.

I'm in for a Wellington, 72nd.

Tim

I'm definately in with a 1/72 Walrus.

Were up to 7 entries so far. keep them rolling in people.

Heh heh, I went out to the shop and scanned the stash.

The original release TSR.2 in 1/72.

That'll do it for me, along with the floater.

I'll be in with two 1/72nd kits... HS123 and BF110 new tool.

No-one tackling that most iconic and quintessentially "Airfix" kit, the 1/72 Spitfire Mk1a ??

I have one in a Heller boxing (trust me, I know an Airfix pilot figure when I see one).

ME!!!

My daughter went to the Imperial war museum and brought this home with her.

It is the 1/72nd Spitfire MK1a starter set with 4 little pots of paint, brush and cement.

I have plans to get to it at some stage and am looking at buying a set of Airfix figures and building a small  diorama.

Can you add me please scorpiomikey

Hey Jafa,

I believe you have the latest and greatest 2010 tool Mk.1a.

Nice..

EDIT: Actually, now that I've looked it up,  I'm not too sure which one you have If it has 29 parts, it will be the "classic" version.

I might keep looking for something appropriate. (and maybe do the "classic" version Spit.)

Scorpiomikey

OK OK - I see the end date in 2012 - I'll officially put myself down with my Heinkel 177 in 1/72. I wonder if I dare use the original decals? I'll have to check them out & test an unwanted one.

Microscale Liquid decal film all round perhaps?

Might be an essential accessory for everyone in this GB

I've got a bottle for just such an occasion! But the Magister I posted earlier - used the original decals! (Where else was I going to get decals for a Belgian trainer!?) The only thing I did was sun-bleach them in the window. Actually that reminds me, if I want to try the kit decals I really should hang them somewhere right now while the summer sun is on my side.

Okay, add a classic Airfix Spitfire to my Wellington.  The reboxing is #1071.  #1071a is the new-tool Mk Ia and #2010 is the new-tool Mk Ia/IIa.

Yes 29 parts, no cockpit detail at all, says AS50077 on the box and instruction set. I am going to try and find images of the instrument panel to scratch build, or at least print and stick?

Also need to try and cut the canopy to have it open for display (if I can scratch together a cockpit).

Try this site:  3D-Kits.  He does some nice add-ons and upgrades for the Airfix Spitfires.

Tim

Thanks,

 I wonder if anyone will notice if I use the slightly wrong instrument panel.....

a good start though, and a intro to a NZ company that has some nice extras.

Jafa

Also need to try and cut the canopy to have it open for display (if I can scratch together a cockpit).

The canopy in that kit is a pain in the rear. You may wish to check this out http://www.falconmodels.co.nz/clearvax/set02.html (you'll be supporting a local company too.  ) The Mk.1 canopy is also avaliable as a "single" from Squadron.

Thanks, Bondoman.  It was my pleasure.  I got a great opportunity to be part of the Navy family and will cherish the memories and friends forever.

Who is the Rear Admiral in your avatar?

Thanks Phil,

I had thought of them, I am currently working on a 1/48 Tamiya Wildcat and had to replace the canopy (the Tamiya didn't fit well in the open position then failed in a non passive manner whilst fat fingers were trying to add masking..) and I found the Falcon set at my lhs, so I have allsorts of spare canopies.

I will look at them again for the 1/72 stuff once I get started on the Spit...

Count me in, thinking of doing a ship,either the Hood or Warspite. 

Hi Guys

I'm definitely up for this one.

I haven't decided on a kit as yet - what are the rules concerning kits already commenced ?

If it has to be an 'uncommenced' kit it will be one of :

727

Vostok/Soyuz

Me 110 new tool

Canadair Sabre with RAAF markings

Can't wait to start yet another  kit !

Simon

Rear Admiral George Morrison. He is related to me through my Great Grandfather, and had a famous son. I like the picture; he looks pretty sharp.

That's great!  I love his son's music.
