balbukerke Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi all, Can I enter this GB with this? it was a prototype helicopter for the Austro-Hungarian Empire during WWI. Cheers, B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes you could enter with that. I can't think of anything more "test" than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oortiz10 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey ARC, After not building ANYTHING in ALL of 2015 and just finishing a quick build to restore my mojo, I think I'd like to get in on this GB with a 1/48 Hasegawa F-16. Thinking of doing her up in some markings from the 412th Operations Group out of Edwards AFB. Let's see if I can actually get this thing built. Cheers! -O Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnr Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 How about this. First flown in 1949 and modified to take the Korshun radar in 1951. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Throwing my hat into the ring on this one. Building up a 1/144 Dragon TR-1A as NASA's ER-2 when it was based at Ames. I might also do a NASA AH-1G Cobra in 1/72 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'll be building this kit: https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1472&bih=743&q=monogram+mustang&oq=monogram+mustang&gs_l=img.12..0.1227.4744.0.6835.16.13.0.3.3.0.97.1027.13.13.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..0.16.1030.PznEMgJbEt4#imgrc=XcKpuYivaFkVjM%3A I recently got SMP deals from Ultracast for an RAAF Mustang, Swiss Air Force Mustang and a Central Experimental and Proving Establishment Mustang based at RCAF Station Uplands here in Ottawa, after it moved from my old stomping grounds near now defunct RCAF Station Rockcliffe. https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1472&bih=743&q=smp+decals&oq=smp+decals&gs_l=img.12...165751.168087.2.169865.10.8.0.2.0.0.115.639.7j1.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..0.7.563.hBYd4ru97kI#imgrc=PLJTa3WFYoh51M%3A While at Rockcliffe, C.E.P.E. was simply known as the Experimental and Proving Establishment. A quote from an on-line publication by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum states: "Other experimental units were formed in Canada during and after the war and it was decided to centralize the control of their activities in one organization. In 1951 these units were amalgamated as the Central Experimental and Proving Establishment with headquarters at Rockcliffe. The organization remained at the Station until 1957 when it was moved to RCAF Station Uplands south of Ottawa. Until that time, Rockcliffe had witnessed 37 years of test flying and aeronautical research activity." C.E.P.E. is the predecessor of what is now the R.C.A.F.'s Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment (A.E.T.E.) at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alberta. I'm finishing up a Sabre for the Far Out, Far East GB so I should be starting this in a week or so. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Great choices guys. I'm really learning about a lot of aircraft and operations I hadn't heard of previously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm going to enter a 1/72 Hobbyboss F-14D and build it as the world-famous Vandy 1 with some decals from Fine Molds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm going to try to get one more into this GB while I continue to work on my Pe-2 for the Eastern Front GB. I've had this in the stash for years and it fits well with this theme. Czech Model 1/48 XP-77. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 There's a video of this aircraft on Youtube. IIRC, it was aluminum-skinned plywood. If you're going to open the canopy, make sure you look at that video to see how it rotated inside the fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 One, maybe two more. Easy one will be a white and red ED coded F-4E in 1/48. Then if I have time a 1/32 CT-133 Shooting star ejection seat platform.. Question is if I do CEPE 21505 back in 1960, or the same plane AETE 133505 around 1990. Either way in flight with the ejection seat going BANG! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
