Re: Fighter control model building competition
I'll certainly have a go at the 1/72 beginners category. Not sure yet what kit, although I think I'll probably go for something pre-1960...
Re: Fighter control model building competition
I'll give a go, 1/72 beginners probably, maybe 1/48th
Cheers Niall

Come on - it'll be fun!Tonka 71 wrote:Think i'll step away from this one now before i make a burke out of myself !
Re: Fighter control model building competition
Yeah go on ! I`m going to embarass my self in the 1 32. I dont have a clue what I am doing but I have treated my self to a stonking Revell Harrier kit. Thats what happens when you go looking through ebay for a 1 48 Thunderbolt 2 and get distracted.
So does anybody know if the 1 32 Revell Harrier kit has a GR3 option, if not did the GR1 go to Norway and does anybody have any pictures.
Cheers

Re: Fighter control model building competition
Even if you still decide to give the hobby up afterwards, theres nothing stopping you having a go (i would take part but I know one of the judges , so I will just have to buy one of the kits instead )Tonka 71 wrote:Think i'll step away from this one now before i make a burke out of myself !
Re: Fighter control model building competition
Go on then ill have a go too, not too sure how well it'll go though! Got the 1/72nd HobbyBoss Mi-8MT with some christmas money, planning to paint it up as one of the Rasberry Ripple Hips

Re: Fighter control model building competition
I remember building the Revell 1/32 GR.1 kit well over 30 years ago. It's basically sound, but I don't remember there being a GR.3 option unless there is an after market nose available. I do remember winter cammo over-painting in the 70s, but don't have any reference pix to hand.benyboy wrote:Yeah go on ! I`m going to embarass my self in the 1 32.

Re: Fighter control model building competition
If the kit is that old it might be worth a few quid. Not sure if I want to waste it now.

Re: Fighter control model building competition
At a guess, I'd say I built mine circa 1975 and it was a new release at the time, there was an excellent super detailing article in Military Modeling magazine - I was more interested in AFVs in those days - and it helped a lot.
In my opinion it was a very good kit for the time, and looks great when built. It was after all one of the very last purely British combat aircraft.

Re: Fighter control model building competition updated rules
I was just thinking Who do we have to thank for the prizes, there is a few quids worth there.

Finger of Gratitude solely pointed at Shaun for this one, he supplied it all!
Re: Fighter control model building competition updated rules
I will be having a go in this (if i can finish it before june) in the 1/72 Intermediate-Advanced section with the Tamiya 1/72 P-47D bubbletop. One question if i enter the i1/72 intermediate advanced can i enter the 1/48th beginners as well or not?

Re: Fighter control model building competition updated rules
I dont really have a problem with that but I think that it would be best if I ask the other participants what they think. If you enter your first one for now, and then I will wait until next Saturday for peoples opinions.
So if people aren't happy about this then please PM me, I will of coarse keep it anonymous. That way I think it is fair

Re: Fighter control model building competition updated rules
Ok sean will do that, will crack on with the 1/72nd first (Honestly i don't know if i will get it finished in time anyway my builds tend to span years rather than months )
