GB 46 Split Build - WW2 Eastern Front / Twin Engine A/C, Transports and Gliders

[destrozas]

Siebel please. NC701 Martinet or Siebel Si204

Would love to see the Siebel.

With the siebel I have a problem that is the interior the mold of master models is brief and I have nothing of the plane only the few photos that Snautzer01 has told me

I found some interior drawings on the net a long time ago Sergio. I'll try to find the links, but if I can't, I will send you some photocopies.

I'm considering the Zoukei Mura Ki-45 Kai Tei and /or a Russian Front Bf109F-4 of Max Helmuth Ostermann....

Hummm transport.. I'm now thinking that the RAF CH-47 Chinook could be my preference over the C-130. Keeps the costs down ( Mrs quiet), plus fits with my other modelling plans (Afghan Apache, Lynx, Merlin etc)

Is a Heli accepted as an entry or must it be a plane?

 

[Airframes]

Flying, flappy palm trees are acceptable.

Hhmmmm......
Am i feeling brave enough ?

 

[Crimea_River]

Yes, you are. Just hope the decals are nice and flexible.

Reviews are pretty good, for a big kit parts numbers isnt that high so we'll see !

I'd be worried about masking over all the ridges. I've seen it done but Lawdy, Lawdy....all those corrugations to tend to to prevent spill under

yeah would be a case of pushing them into the grooves then sealing them with either gloss coat or previously painted colour i think !

 

[Crimea_River]

I wouldn't bother. Just mask it to the high points and use light mist coats - or are you using the hairy stick?

Ki-45 please. There are many luftwaffles, very nice, not that many ki-45. Will be a nice change.

After discussion with my wife on location and survivability of finished models (taking space and 1 and 5 year old kids into account), decided to put the C-47 idea on hold for now and do something small, strong and devoid of thin sticking out bits... thinking maybe a Henschel Hs 123 or 129.
(Will probably still do the Horsa though, love those things!)

[Crimea_River]

You definitely have some contenders there Steph.

 

[fubar57]

Good list Steph. I'd like to see them all built . After much soul searching, I'm in. I'll probably do the box top.

​

Usually I've researched the crap outta my builds but as mentioned upstream this build snuck up on me as well. Off to the research lab....................

 

[Crimea_River]

I always liked the look of the MiG 3.

 

[Airframes]

Are box tops eligible ?
I'll get me coat .........................
