GB 58 and beyond

[Donivanp]

Right now, I am just an enthusiastic spectator due to things going on here.

I would most certainly love to get back to modeling, it's been far too long since I offered a sacrifice to the carpet gods.

I've made enough for you and several others

Early ressults of the voting so far are shown below, with 9 members having submitted ideas so far and hopefully many more to come. I have already combined quite a few that were either identical or very close but there's still room to do more of that - Lots of Martime, Carrier Based, Seaplanes yet that are all still separate. As I said above if anyone wants to change their choice after having seen someone else's ideas, feel free. You just need to tell me which one of your 8 to drop in lieu.

EDIT: There was a small mistake in the table I included about 20 minutes ago. Corrected now below.

Most of us, I assume, could pull enough parts outta the carpet to make a decent russian fighter!

 

[Crimea_River]

Or you can leave them in the carpet and still make a decent Russian fighter.

N4521U Bill, are you gonna put a list together?
Calling Davecww1 , Airframes , Jock Tamson , Wayne Little , le_steph40 , dneid , rochie , have a look at the previous pages and throw in your choices if you wish.

Also Bernhart , Bustedwing , Lancaster630

 

[Donivanp]

List is looking good

 

[Crimea_River]

Yes, but as I say, more ideas to come and more consolidating to do.

 

[Donivanp]

I didn't say it was finalized, meow meow meow

 

[Donivanp]

Should Recon be open era from wwi to present? I think that would be good, it is the origin of military aviation, first came reconnaissance than the need to kill the reconnaissance, than the need to defend the reconnaissance and then to bomb whatever the reconnaissance found!!!!!!!!

There a history of military aviation!

Regarding recon votes, it may be three, as Mainly28s did propose it in his post #7

 

[Wayne Little]

I have you and Mainly 28 for Recon. Who's the third?

Donivanp in the first post (item #2) - he gets credit for the idea!

 

[Airframes]

I like the list so far. Not much to add at the moment, although I'll try to contribute a couple of ideas later.
One idea, however, would be to cover wars / conflicts involving aircraft, after WW2 up to the present day, with Korea and Viet Nam being obvious choices, but with many, many possibilities, from "bush wars" to all out conflict.
This would be open to any type of aircraft that had been involved in the chosen event, and would include jets, props and (dare I say it) rotary wing, combat, transport, recce etc etc.

 

[Jock Tamson]

Yeah.....some great ideas so far. I'll need to have a bit of a think.

 

[Snautzer01]

Quite a buzz here. I find myself looking at kits
Now .... that is a long looongg time ago.
No talent but what the hey.
What would be a 1:72 absolute beginner kit be to advised? Just shake and bake i mean.
I am willing to spend about 10 hours on it.
Nightfighters is a thing for me. The 110 with what ever radar should be good
What would fit a GB? I am living very close to a big retailer, so shoot.
Plan is not competing or posting but just re- candelling some youth magic.

That list covers most of my ideas in some way or another.
Favourites are.
jets, any era
Twin engines, Ww2 and also after ww2.
PTO build
Winter war
I like Terry's idea of other war aircraft too
i could probably find something for a lot of that list

Andy I've modified my selection, dropping Light bombers for Recon and modified what I would like to see.
