Count me in on this one.I have an Airfix Mk.I tank in the stash that will do nicely.
Looks good SF. Now hide this guy until May
TD, welcome. What scale is it? 1/35?
Hey... I smell mustard gas
I must be trying to get myself in the mood.

GAS! GAS! GAS!

This guy was purposely exposed to HD (Distilled Mustard) in a controlled lab-experiment to develope new ways to treat Blister Agent casualties...
The amount used was a single, pinhead-sized droplet...
OK, I just threw up in my mouth a litlle.
Yep i'll never be able to eat a hotdog again
sorry for the triple post my laptop is playing up....
Marc,
Would you consider allowing a kit that has had some of the interior bits painted, along with the propeller? Of course, it's been sitting in the box for the last two years.....
The kit is the 1/48 Eduard Albatros D.III

DOH moment. I have a second entry; the SMS Scharnhorst.
Imperial German Navy Armoured Cruiser, launched in 1906.
She and her sister ship Gneisenau , along with the rest of the East Asia Squadron based in Tsingtao, under the Command Of Admiral von Spee, preyed on shipping in the South Pacific in late 1914.
Eventually the Squadron reach Chile in October. . They were engaged by the British South Atlantic Squadron off of the Port of Coronel, Chile on November 1. A decisive victory won, Spee sailed East around the Horn and headed home. On December 8, the Squadron approached the Falklands with the intent of destroying the wireless station.
By then Britain had sent two battleships of the Grand Fleet south to intercept Spee. Approaching Stanley harbor, the Squadron recognized tripod masts in the harbor, but it was too late. Both cruisers and other lighter ships were sunk. The sole survivor was Dresden, a light cruiser. Revell occasionally releases the Emden, which is a close sister ship of Dresden and very well worth looking for on eBay.
So I'll be looking forward to building Scharnhorst.
wing_nut Looks good SF. Now hide this guy until May TD, welcome. What scale is it? 1/35? Hey... I smell mustard gas I must be trying to get myself in the mood.
Bob... 2 years and that little work sounds like a non-start to me. Welcome aboard.
Bondo, I liked the bit of history about the ship. As I said, barely know anything about the war. Interesting that the Germans were active in the Pacific in WWI. I don't recall them being so in WWII.
The roster has been updated
I forgot to mention bondo that I checked out the Felixstowe, having never heard of it. That is going to be most extreme. Check out this build I found
Hey, I'm in, been wanting to build this one from my stash for ages...
Eduard 1/48 Roland C II

You're in. Are you gonna do the one that looks like a fish with scales?
I plan on getting the Airfix 1/600 Iron Duke.Would that qualify for this build?
She did serve in WWI,but I believe the kit is a much later version of the ship.
I am being pretty flexible as far as rules go but if a kit is a later version, such as a refit of the same ship, that did not serve during the conflict i would say no.
Sounds like a back date conversion is in order!
Least he is honest as not likely anyone would have noticed the difference on the post-war modifications.
No back dating for me.I ain't that good.Just thought I'd check.
I think this kit is the WWI configuration.A quick bit of research seems to confirm this.

YO Bondo... someone is doing a Scharnhorst on HS

No, this is the WW1 version, of an era with the Manila Bay USN ships like Olympia.
Although this pic is of a really lovely 1/700 model. Imagine that about 7" long. By Bernd Villhauer.
Mine will be 1/350 and not half as nice.
Bill/Bondoman – Look forward to your Scharnhorst. You are right; the Revell Emden is hard to find, I was lucky to get a new copy couple years ago from Free Time Hobbies, as well as the even harder to find GMM PE fret (for both Dresden and Emden). Prepare to waaaay overpay for that PE fret, but snag it if you find it!
TD- IIRC, the Airfix Iron Duke is an “inaccurate but close enough” 1918 or 1916 config. Problem was, Airfix made the plans while looking at plans/pics from her early 20s refit, but fitted her as WWI configuration. But most people simply build “as is” with minor modifications (I believe you omit one of the radar masts?). All the builds I have seen of the Airfix kit are “Great War” era:

I don’t think the differences are major or a deal breaker, IMHO.
PS - If anyone finds an Iron Duke sold my "MRC", thats the same kit (Airfix) but sold via the US distributor.
Anyone interested in the Naval aspects of WWI, borrow a copy of Castles of Steel by Robert K Massie.
TD if Jmart is correct, and I have no reason to doubt that he is, an “inaccurate but close enough” 1918 or 1916 config is good for the build. So is that going to be a go for you? And I iwll update the roster if so.
wing_nut You're in. Are you gonna do the one that looks like a fish with scales?
I would like to, but my kits is an older boxing of it and doesn't have the scales decals. After Market decals are pretty slim picking for this plane to, I'm thinking of doing one that was piloted by Manfred Richtofen. Something different from the usual Fokker Dr that's associated with him.
Man thats a nice looking ship....Looking forward too seeing yours Bondo
Waikong, love the Roland, very cool...
Waikong, if you really want to do that one I would put the word out on whatever forum you hang out in. And yes, I ended a sentence with a preposition. Seriously, I bet someone has an extra set in their box.
This is shaping up to be one heck of a GB!

Count me in with an Iron Duke as well as the Mk.I.
Yes it is Mike. There are others out there though that I would have thought would have joined up.
TD, if I can bring joy to someones life my work here is done... but I'm not leaving regardless
