mgrandison Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'd like to do an in-flight display featuring a 1/72 Bf-110C being chased by a 1/72 Spitfire MkIa. I want to use the new Revell Luftwaffe and RAF pilots. Is that OK? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 How about a big ole monster of a Mustang? Gonna give this one a try.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirkpitt289 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've never done anything that big. No room in my house to keep it. So I'll live vicariously through you and your build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guilherme Kosciuv Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I´m in with an Airfix 727-100 in 1/144 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I found an old Profile Series B-25, licensed by Airfix, 1/72. I started this model in 1983, wings and tail plane are glued, and one engine is basically painted. Would this be eligible for the gb? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quailane Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I got an Airfix 1/48 Bf-109E about a week ago. I've thought long and hard if I could do it OOB, and I guess I can if I close the cockpit, and I could always add brake lines later, so I would like to join the GB with it.

This is what I came up with: 1. Focke wulf FW 109D 72nd 2. Short Sunderland III 72nd 3. SAAB draken 72nd 4. Hawker sideley buccaneer(new tooling of witch I have 4 and would like to scraatch and cast a complete cockpit in order to use on the other 3 in future the cockpit area is still as devoid of detail as ever) 72nd 5. Hurricane mk1(BOB memorial box used the spitfire as spares and do not want to do the Lanc as yet)72nd 6. Panavia Tornado F3/EF3 48th 7. Sepecat jaguar GR3/ES I might make some decals for some of these kits if time permits. As for now the first reply to the selection of the post will be the model that will be entered into the group build once again if you guys decide that I am welcome to join that is.

stevehnz Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Yes its nostalgia trip group builds time, brought to you again by Mike, Tim & Julien.This year it will be Airfix Ahoy! With Airfix's new kit and re-release schedule being so aggressive, there is plenty of choice for everyone. So if you are keen for a simple build, free of all that added detail, then please pre-register here. GB Rules 1. Airfix products only. In case of doubt this will be confirmed by a photo of the Airfix logo on the box, instructions or plastic - or a recognised Airfix product code on the decals. Intended to filter out similar offerings from Heller or Humbrol etc. 2. Group build is from 01 Jan to 01 Jul 2011. New entries are eligible up to 01 Jun 2011. 3. Projects are unstarted when the GB commences. 4. Open to all airfix kits though preferably Aircraft as this is ARC. (we did allow tanks in the MB GB!) 5. The spirit of this GB is to build and complete models as Airfix intended - and have fun doing it. Aftermarket materials and replacement parts (other than decals) that replace kit parts will not be allowed in this GB. Use of components from kits of other manufacturers is not allowed. Aftermarket decals are allowed, but kit ones are preferred. No what-ifs in this GB please. Scratchbuilding to improve items such as a cockpit is fine but there will be no need to go overboard. For those building biplanes, rigging with stretched sprue, invisible thread, fishing line, wire or ezthread is fine. 6. Mod encourage photos at all stages of building where the builder demonstrates progress over the previous set of photos. Please don't post more than 4 VGA quality photos at each such stage. Mods would like to see at least 4 such demonstrations of progress during the project. Typically box+parts, cockpit construction, fuselage construction, wings fitted, painted, decals, final details, completion. 7. Only completed models in the finished gallery are eligible for any prizes offered. Reminder that this will be a raffle - not a competition. So please come along and join. If you can post up here with your builds, Thanks Tim, Mike & Julien Hi Guys, I'm about to get going on my BT-K model & have also put my hand up to enter it into the Spitfire group build over on Britmodeller, are the any problems here on ARC with me doing this, BM are OK with it?

gkicsak Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Guys, I spoke with Mike on the way to the club on Saturday. Count me in with a 1:48 BAe Hawk I bought in Kalgoorlie last year. I have a few kits on the go at the moment. Nice to do a jet for something different. I'll get my son James to practice his photography skills he is learning at school to do progress pictures. Cheers, Gabe :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rafman Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Can I get in on this with a quick build of thr Grumman Widgeon? Shaun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericp Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'd like to join, if I may, with a Hunter. Trying to build something simple to get out of a bit of a rut, so thinking of the following: - Single color, so one that comes to mind is the Black Arrows aerobatic team - The Airfix kit is an FGA.9, so I have to do some surgery on the parabrake housing - The Airfix kit comes with the correct roundels (though not sure about size), but the fin flash is not the slanted type, so I gotta figure something out there - The aircraft will be done wheels up, IMHO aerobatic models on wheels look a bit sad ... they should be in their element, performing! - The AMS beast always lurks near, and I will feed this one with a promise of a highly-polished finish, that is as far as I will try to go Will start a build thread soon.

nubaba Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have had to put my kits aside for the last few months due to work commitments; however, got some time now and thought I ease back into it and try building a couple of 1/72 scale kits. I have an old bagged Airfix Mk.II Hurricane kit from the 60's (minus the card board bit and instructions), which I picked up for dollar. I thought it would be cool to compare the old kit with a later release from Airfix and I went out today and purchased a Mk.I Hurricane (they didn't have a Mk.II kit in stock). So I would like to join the GB with two 1/72 Huricanes, one old and one new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waylandcool Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I have a second entry for this GB as I found an Airfix rebox hidden in my stash. I started a 1/72nd MPC Sepcat Jaguar and found an Airfix copyright inside the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
