Col. Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Ooh, lots of good aircraft being thought of here! Not sure what I'll do, there's too much choice in the stash but at least I've got a year to decide Most likely something based at Lossiemouth. Glad to see some interest in RNAS as well, there was quite a selection of machines operated during the life of the service. Just want to confirm the build runs from 21st October 2007 until 2nd April 2008, so we've got a whole year to clear-up current projects and gather references for this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Gone quiet on this thread so thought it needed bumping up the list a bit Will contact the FAA Museum the morn and see if they would be interested in supporting this in some way, if anyone can think of other potential sponsors or supporters please let us know. Hmm, less than a year to go now, guess I better start thinking about which one from the stash I'll do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm in for either a hellcat or martlet.... maybe both Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard E Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Count me in for this one as well. Not sure what I'll build yet: possibly something operated by FRADU or a Jetstream, alternatively, would a 800 Squadron Harrier GR7 be eligible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Not sure what I'll build yet: possibly something operated by FRADU or a Jetstream, alternatively, would a 800 Squadron Harrier GR7 be eligible? The Jetstream sounds fantastic Richard, and yes an 800 Sqn. GR-7 would be fine Greg, do both! Go on, you know you want to and you're more than capable at the speed you build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddler Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'm in to. I noted the GB earlier on while doing my planning on this year. I've a 1/72nd Wyvern in the stash which I'd like to do, and was looking for any info to see if it was elligible to the subject. It seems it is and therefor it's a go for me Greetings!!

phantom Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Is the RCN acceptable? Same paint schemes and airframes as the big brother service. If it is........ I would do a RCN Sea Fury and Sea King off HMCS Magnificent/ Bonneventure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jRatz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Since this surfaced again ... Is this just FAA of the RN from 1937/38 on ? Can we do the 'tween wars when it was the FAA of the RAF ? Can we do RNAS ? Thanks, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
is it windy yet? Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Maybe, the new Hobbycraft Sea Fury in 1:32 will be out in time for this. Otherwise I'll have to resort to the thirty choices in my stash. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin W Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 About half my stash qualifies for this GB. Including Hawk, Phantom, Swordfish, Tarpon, Wildcat, Corsairs, Harrier FA1 FAW2, Buccaneer, Wyvern, Seaking HAS 5, Hunter T8, Navy Pup, Scimiter, Meteor III, Barracuda, Sea Vampire, Wessex, hellcat, Walrus, sea gladiator, Firebrand, Kingfisher, Seafire V, Dragonfly, Whirlwind, Sea Fang, F-35. Half my stash? well I have 8 Corsairs, 6 Buccaneers, 4 Seakings and ......... For sure it will be in 1/48! I'll plan for something unusual so probably Dynavector 1/48 Scimiter and Belchers 1/48 Dragonfly. If time permits the Meteor lll trials aircraft and Navy Pup. Looking forward to it.

Darius at home Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sounds like fun - I have a few Sea Hornets in the stash...and perhaps a Hawker Nimrod or Sea Devon in 1:48... Darius Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moaning dolphin Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi People I'd like to jump in as well, i prefer the less well known subjects, thinking of a Jetstream, skyraider AEW, Whirlwind, wessex. I have a shorts seamew going at the mo but looks a bit poor. Might convert an avenger into an AS version. Sooooo many choices and so little time!!!! Cheers now Bob PS can I be the first to list my Trumpeter 1:48 Gannet AEW (you know where you heard it first!!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n Wannabe Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What are the rules for this GB in terms of detailing.....? I have this Falcon vac-form 1/48 Sea Fury...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddler Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 That's right, talking about a Seaking. I've Revell's 1/72nd HAS.6, which can be build as a HU.5 with the decals from Model Alliance. Or as a Falklands war example... hmm And a Fairey Barracuda from Special hobby... also a nice one... I'll have to see, I think the chopper would be a nice variation on the normal fixed wings planned for this year :) Greetings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham T Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 OK, put me down for a Wyvern....or a Sea Hawk....or a Sea Vixen.........or a Buccaneer.........or maybe an Attacker or a Phantom....I really don't know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Owwkay, looks as if I've been away from ARC for too long :) Fiddler - the Wyvern is perfect and duly noted, although a chopper or two would also be nice. Phantom - although we intended to make this a FAA GB there were various subsidury groups such as FRA/FRADU included but we never thought to include the Commonwealth Fleet's Air Arms. I'll talk to the guys and see what they think. John (jRatz) - RNAS is eligable, we called it the FAA GB for simpilcity. Ron - if it does I'll be having one too! Colin W - nice sellection! I'd love to see you model the Meteor trials aircraft. Darius - Sea Hornet's will be nice although I have to admit a soft spot for the Hawker Nimrod. A Sea Devon would be very unusual too... Choices, choices. Bob - another fine sellection of the less usual, lets hope Trumpeter keep gracing us with more crazy stuff. Damo - go nuts or straight out of the box, the choice is yours. Graham T - not much mention of the Attacker here so far (or in general ) Not that I want to influence your decision of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kstater94 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Glad to see you get the thread back on track Colin I have a small event coming up this Sunday followed by a few other things like selling the house, moving, and a couple of aviation related trips. But otherwise I'm right there with ya me ole pal! Cheers! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bullet101 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I don't see a problem including FRA/FRADU FAA aircraft, the others have to agree though. As for RCN aircraft, thats a bit tougher.... When i thought up this gb ages ago i was originally thinking of just FAA subjects, but since i didn't want to be a mod Colin has kindly taken over the reigns, so i think i'll leave that decision up to him. Though if Colin needs a back-up mod i'm happy to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bennygmanuk Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) not much mention of the Attacker here so far I think I made some crazy statement about building an Attacker in the original thread. Not that I've got one yet, but there's a whole summer of airshows to put that right (probably the CMR in 1/72). That Ark Royal sheet from Model Alliance is also still looking very tempting - Scimitar...hmmm (where's that 'rubs beard thoughtfully' emoticon when you need it). Steve.

Can we do the 'tween wars when it was the FAA of the RAF ? Can we do RNAS ? Thanks, John Just realised no one replied to this, as far as i know its from the inception of RNAS through the FAA years, that way alot of variety, in terms of heli's and aircraft can be included. So in short if it flew with the Royal Navy then its should be eligable. (at least this is my understanding of the gb) As the link that Col. posted on the first page is not working anymore, here's the link to the original thread that should help answer some questions that anyone has: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....c=75099&hl= Edited April 26, 2007 by Bullet101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich Mathsen Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 How come I didn't see this earlier? Just got my 1/48 Fulmar, and have a preorder in on the Skua. Plus there's already a bunch of FAA birds in the stash. So count me in! :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
