Jay Chladek Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well, I am going to throw my hat into the ring with the perfect entry that just popped into my model stash.... Subject: TSR-2 XR219 Kit: Airfix 1/48 scale offering Well, it was the first jet in the line and I can't think of anything that says Flight Test and Evaluation more then the first and only TSR-2 ever to fly. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Would a production F-15E coming of the factory line going through acceptance flight tests at the MacAir factory before being handed over to the USAF fall within the scope of this GB? Plane would be in standard camo but no unit markings or tail codes applied yet. Also, the plane would be depicted in a configuration not usually seen in regular operations but each StrikeEagle had to do this once before acceptance. thanks, Gary F Oh yeah, also going to start an XF-2B.

mbittner Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'll try to finish the Miniwings CF-105 Arrow in 1/144th: http://www.internetmodeler.com/artman/publ...F-105_Arrow.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonehammer73 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Hadn't realised I had to post here too. I'm doing Black 503, the protptype for the Sukhoi Su-30MKK export variant. The patient is an Academy 1/48 Su-27UB, in an unstarted condition, suffering from shallowtubitis and a decal deficiency. Remedial therapy will be one NeOmega resin cockpit and Begemot decals, plus some other modifications in the fins and windshield area. And if this work proceeds apace, I might do some WWII plane tested at the LII VVS, to bring more props in this GB. Edited February 25, 2009 by Bonehammer73 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illithid00 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Would the F-15A Streak Eagle or the P-42 record-setting Flanker be eligible for this GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unang Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Bugger! I'm almost finished my RAAF Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU) Mirage IIIO in the old Fanta Can scheme (Orange and White). Wish I had've seen this GB earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Not sure if this would work but I have a Pavla F6U Pirate. As a fighter it proved to be such a dog, that the bulk of the 30 built spent their lives testing arresting gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi, With all the exciting new F-16 stuff coming out, I often look at my F-16 stash. I have worked a bit on the the F/A-18E that I promised for this GB and I'll start a thread about that one tonight. But when I'm not working on the Tomcat or the Hornet, I'm also having some fun with a Hasegawa F-16C. I intend to build that one with the "Weapons School 50th anniversary" markings. It suddenly dawns upon me that this one may qualify for this GB. I figure that this unit is involved in the evaluation of tactics and pilots. It does not have a Russian coat, but it's a WA F-16. :) Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weirich1 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) I'll slide in with my Academy 1/48 Raptor; hope to get started within the next couple of weeks. Really leaning toward 06-109, 57 Wing, "WA" tailcode. Edited February 25, 2009 by weirich1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookie Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I will build Attick's X-31 and if I have time and hairs left I will build their X-32B as well. Both 1/48. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GCA333 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Are prototype airliners OK? I was thinking the IL-96T prototype. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 was it used in flight testing or evaluations of any sort if so yes bring her on in. it would be a great subject to add. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhino53 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have an Anigrand C-141A that I'm building as the Edwards NC-141A in 1/72nd scale, which I started last Friday. Through my inattention, I hadn't noticed this GB, and I had decided it wasn't quite right for the Trash Haulers GB, as it probably never hauled trash, so if you think it's OK, I'll put it on here. I'm doing it with the adapted nose as seen in 2002 in the grey and whit scheme, with home made decals for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 come on in!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Absolutely! Come on in! I completely and utterly support non-fighter type a/c in this build! IMO it adds a very nice bit of variety. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GCA333 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I read over the rules and saw it can be no more than 25% done. Would one coat of primer be acceptable? Fuselage and wings are primed, but they are not together. Engine bits are partially painted too. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It just so happens this GB coincides with some of my plans for this year. Count me in with:- 1) 70 years on, the worlds first jet aircraft, the Heinkel He 178V1. 1/48th Condor kit. 2) The Pegasus II-61 test aircraft, Harrier Gr5 ZD402. 1/72nd Airfix kit with FlightDec decals. Probably in the hover on 4 acrylic rods. cheers Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Id like to enter the F-16N I just started. Hasegawa 1/48, TwoBobs decals, Aires/Quickboost cockpit and nav light fairings from Doctor Pepper. All I have sone so far is fitted the tub to the fuselage parts, and soem cleanup.

CraigSargent Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey Eugene, Does this one count as eligible for the GB? F-18 protoype - first flight November 1978. Converted from Hasegawa 1/48 kit with Aires cockpit and wheel wells and scratchbuilt conversion/backdate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fenestron Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Hello, Is it ok to join in with a TA-4J- I was thinking a F.T.C or a adversary A/C? Cheers Ed Edited April 2, 2009 by Fenestron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
