Well, the postman is bringing me a Revell C-17 as soon as he can. So, I'm in with that. Not sure which markings yet, and I'll probably have something else to add later on.

If it's not too late I'd like to join.

1/144 Testors C-5 OOB

1/144 Airfix VC-10 (RAF refueler)

[StevenatorLTFO]

C47's, not sure how many, in a variety of markings.

We'll see how it all goes, but should be 2 or 3 at least. :)

Something I'll bet no one else is thinking of, a Hobby craft 1/48 scale CC-123 Otter. circa 1975, 400 squadron out of CFB Downsview. (Toronto)

Now, I just need to decide which to use, wheels or floats?

And then of course, decals......Should have the right stuff in the spare bin.

Just to be clear, are WW2 cargo gliders ok for this build?

Tow aircraft like the C-47 are a go, look forward to seeing the build.

[StevenatorLTFO]

This one is actually on the other end of the rope. It's a C47, that was converted into a cargo glider. Two were built....they were actually a very good performer, but by the time they were done with trials, the need for it had passed.

More then you probably ever wanted to know about this conversion can be found at this link.

Been looking for a while for an excuse to build this one - an Indian AF An-32 using the Amodel 1/72 kit

[Tomcat RIO]

i'll commit a 1/72 MPC C-130, in republic of Singapore AF markings. one that i sat for a joyride as a kid many moons ago..

[C-130CrewChief]

I'm going to do a 1/48 MC-130P conversion scratched from the Italeri kit.

[drhornii]

So far, 16 modelers and 22 subjects in the build spreadsheet.

Not bad a few days before kickoff.....a good mix of military & civilian & international subjects

Interesting read. Imagine the "sky freight train" of four or five of these being towed. It would have been a sight to see, too bad it never happened. thanks for the link.

[ross blackford]

;) My entry will be the Italeri Savoia Marchetti SM.82 in 1/72. There may be a Fiat Cr.42 as cargo in there as well, I'll have to see how I go.

:D,

Ross.

[Kingoalie]

Add a 1/72 Huma Do27 in German markings to my entries!

[viper50]

I've been waiting for this one. I would like to do a US-3A Viking COD. Hasegawa 1/72, just to get the old modeling juices back on track. I t will be great to start, build and FINISH a model. This GB has a lot of variety for me. I have a bunch of Trash Haulers in the stash. Don M.

Dave, I hope to build one of the RAAF's C-17 in 1/144 (if it ever arrives) but I'd also like to know, I have a C130E that is built but I intend to strip it right back to components and re-do again. Will this be acceptable?

Regards

Andrew

I will accept a mulligan, sounds good on the C-130
