This thread showed up without me noticing!!!!!
Lots of response on this GB, hooyah!
I swore off two inna GB, this notion didn't last long!
First is as a Lt. E."Engine Eddie" Davidson, F-4 of VF143 better known as the Puking Dogs, USS Constelation, Viet Nam 200+ missions, 1/72nd Has.
I'd contacted him in Florida and confirmed his plane number 314. Custom made decals to suit.
Next, this one may extend into Start to Finish as I want to really detail the engine.
My Sqn HS-4. The last of the SH-34's in the Sqn, #64. 1/48th Gallery Models.
Custom decals to suit.
The last of my HS-4 grouping. So he says.

Some good choices coming out for this GB.
As I have to get both Andovers done to a deadline, it's probable that I won't have time to enter another model or two, but if I'm able to, the possible kits available in my stash, in 1/48th scale, include.
Vampire T.11
Gnat.
Jet Provost T.5
Hunter T.7 (conversion)
Hunter F.6.
Hunter FGA.9.
Phantom FGR 2.
RAF Sabre.
2 x Jaguars (GR1. and GR.3)
Harrier GR.3
Canberra.
Lightning F.1A
Hawk T.1
Antarctic Survey Auster (conversion).
Wessex.
Polish MiG 17
Argentinian Mirage (Falklands war)
French Mirage
Gloster Javelin.
And a couple more I think.
In 1/32nd scale, there are :-
F-104 Netherlands.
F-86 Korean war.
Hawk T.1
Decisions, decisions !!

Holy crap man. Your jet stash is bigger than my entire one!
My so-called stash is pretty small compared to most.

There's a good chance I have more jets than the RAF !!!
Remembered another on Swiss F-5E.

XB-35, 49, KC-135, B-52 F-4 F-14 A-7D and the best goes on, and the beat goes on!
And let's say a whole Century of jets Him Duce, Starfighter, Thud, and a Dart. Add in a F-110 and a F-111, what do you think.

We could do F-80, 82, 84, 86, 89, 94
F4U (later models) F2H, F3H, Panthers or Cougers, or maybe even the XB-70.
MiG's and Su's or Yak 28 gee my list goes on and on.

Serious question.
Will my MiG qualify seeing as the paint scheme is from 2000 ?

Would love to do my Flanker but frankly I'm a little scared of the size of it

In my opinion we should just remove the 1982 constraint. Need more opinions to get a quorum.
