GB 17 what are you thinking

[woody]

Iam thinking of doing a C-47 for this.

 

[Crimea_River]

Ar 234. Not sure what scheme yet.

 

[Catch22]

I don't know if I'll enter or if I have anything. I have a Lysander but I don't know if that'll cut it.

 

[Crimea_River]

Lysander will work. I think Karl already asked and we said OK.

I have a Beechcraft staggerwing executive transport, and a Arado 196 observation aircraft. And a possible suprise entry.

 

[fubar57]

I have an Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F-6B that I want to build as an RAF or RCAF Bird. Just starting to troll the interwebs for squadrons, codes and colors.

Horten Ho IX V3 (among other ideas)

Is the recon/transport build limited to WW II?

 

[Lucky13]

Would like to do Peterson's (MIA September '42) P-38F-4-LO, if nothing else, a PBY Catalina! 8)

Lizzie will be fine Cory, doing my Eduard 1/48 Lysander was going to do a Bf108 but might now switch to a Meteor F1 !

 

[meatloaf109]

Yeah! the Meteor!

 

[rochie]

Yeah! the Meteor!

Thinking about a Pair of Checkerband Me262's from KG(J) 6 Red/Black and KG(J) 54 Blue/White

 

[destrozas]

I after much reflection and after failing to reach the plow 98 to buy, then I decided with my wife, the following aircraft:
Stinson L-1 Vigilant 41-18915 alaska 1942, fiocke-Wulf 189 to 1 in 1942 ussr if + eg as usual both at 1/72 and the last if I have time, will the Japanese seaplane Kawanishi reconnaissance type mavis 97 to 1/144 even though I have not decided between 6 decorations that brings.

Sergio, Mavis is a nice kit, got one mostly built but stored away for another day...

 

[tigerdriver]

I was struggling for ideas for this one ... nothing in the stash really fit , where as i am covered for the next couple .

So I was thinking about looking at doing my 1/48 B17 is Coastal Command colours, but to be honest as its a G kit it would have been a long way from being right
However by fluke my lil bro got me a Hobby Boss Me 262 so thats rather solved the problem. The kit covers the A1 and the U3 , so it could qualify as Jet and recce

B17s do look good in the Coastal Command camo though

The B-17G, known a Fortress III in RAF service, wouldn't quite fit the GB, even if it had been used by CC. The CC aircraft, although tasked with recce duties, were also ASW/anti-shipping aircraft.
However, it could fit into the heavy hitters GB, or, if the rules were slightly bent for GB17, as a recce aircraft in a way. The Fortress III was used by RAF 100 Group, in the ECM role, and also as a 'listening post', intercepting enemy radio traffic. Would need quite a bit of work to get the right equipment fit for external appearance, but could be done.

 

[tigerdriver]

terry yeah it was always a bit of a stretch, a case of making the idea fit the brief really
And yes theres a bit of work to do to make an accurate Fortress III

 

[Lucky13]

B17s do look good in the Coastal Command camo though

So does the B-24 and Catalina! 8)

 

[meatloaf109]

A Cat looks good in anything, the B-24, however.....

 

[Rogi]

hmm they ever make a Ki-61 recon version?
