GB 65 - Aircraft with No Propellers - Feb 1, 2025 to June 1, 2025

One month away and as usual, time to start dithering. I have several pointy nose kits but most have fit issues and/or some shape problems. This is what I settled on but need to remove raised panel lines

Oh I have loads for this, may even pluck up the courage for my Flanker !
Will have to give this choice some serious thought.

I'm sticking with WWII and doing me an Me262A-1a.

I have the same kit Geo, in the Monogram box. Not sure yet if I'll enter this GB though.

Changed my mind Andy. A test fit of the fuselage was not promising. It can work but not for the first build. Going for the Voodoo

Might do a big project (Su-24 Flanker) and something a bit easier IDF A-4 Skyhawk.

See how things go

 

[Mainly28s]

I suspect my entry'll be either another glider, or possibly an Me 262.

 

[fubar57]

Glider would be cool

 

[Jock Tamson]

I've a few options for this. Mostly I prefer WW2 stuff but I do like the early jets like the Meteor or Vampire.

I'm dying to get one like this for my Vietnam War plane collection. I have some photos and have made decals of an RF101 used by the CIA from a secret base in Laos (it was secret in those days)... but finding this model at an affordable price here is almost impossible...

For this GB I have in mind a 1/48 Kikka from Jays Models Kits, bought in-house on a visit I made at the time, I hope I can repeat the trip, but I also have a Korean War F9F-8P, a Kodiak-based F89D, a Thailand-based F102A or an A10 Warthog from the Gulf War II, to choose from...
