GB 61 - Carrier and Maritime Aircraft - Discussion

[N4521U]

It's about a week away so I thought it was time to start talking about.

Here's the two I've pretty much decided on. They've both been near the top of my "to build" list for quite a while, they both fit the group build, and they both have similar paint schemes, and wont it be great to see Corsair painted in something other than blue?

I have an Eduard Wildcat lined up but have not decided on a scheme. Maybe do a dio with a guy on a mobility scooter taking a leak on it.

Don't forget a Colour reference photo for the said Guy on the Mobility scooter....

I'm going to do Tomcats; and since I like contrast/history, I plan to do 2 of them. A hi-vis A and a muted D; one with wings swept and the other with wings out with flaps and leading edge extended. I have 3 DML 1/144 kits so I can attempt to cut the wings and have a fall back if it doesn't work. One of the kits has the carrier deck so dio base is included. Something like this:

i thought about doing my academy 1/48 F-14 A but it only has hi viz markings and i dont fancy brush painting all that white, so am going with an RAF Buccaneer and will get some low viz markings for my Tomcat to do at a later date
