Only a week to go and so confused. I have so many to think about. It's the old Matchbox kit re released by Revell with a Cobra Company interior and Caracal decals.

You could always do the Buchon, as a warbird that had a second chance, used as a Bf109E substitute in 1968, for the Battle of Britain movie.
I did one a few years back, using the Academy 1/48th scale kit, suitably modified and detailed.

Or a Spanish 111
Build it Build it Build it..........You know you want to
Start them all, finish what you canI have a few options for this GB, although they are comparatively "old fashioned".......
I don't often do jets unless they are WW2 subjects. Here are three contenders for the GB i dug out of the stash (all with fans)
View attachment 558071View attachment 558072View attachment 558073
I also have the FR47 Airfix Seafire, although i have read its not the easiest kit to build.

I just went to my three go-to sites for checking out future builds: ARC, Modeling Madness and Hyperscale and found a grand total of 4 C/AC-130s built, this among 7 gazillion Spitfire and 6 brazillion P-51 builds. One guy was moved to tears and it looks like the other three were to stunned for words

Yes, I think it was a "dream scheme".

That's pretty nice! 1/72?
Another one for the build, just not sure where I'll go but this is drawing my very high interest level. I served in both the 43rd and 305th during my 20 years in the USAF, and I help a bit on the TB-58 restoration at Grissom AFB at the time the home of the 305th ArEFW.

Thanks for the feedback folks
I will start with the Skyraider, and, time permitting, do the Buchon, which is a more recent addition to the stash. I was looking for a 1/48 Buchon but can't find one anywhere without paying silly money for it. I was hoping Academy would reissue it for the 50th anniversary of the BoB movie, but it looks unlikely now....
Special Hobby do a (1/72) BoB movie version of the kit too.
Cheers, Greg

The Academy Spanish Air Force Buchon kit is still around - comes up on e-bay now and then. Also, check out King Kit, they may have a seconhand example. It's easy to make it into a BoB movie example, although I had to make my own badge decals for the JG shields.

Looks like this GB could fill up!

Let's hope so. Wide ranging topic and the beginning of shite weather in the northern hemisphere should ensure plenty of participation.
