New GB IN two days!

[meatloaf109]

YAY!!!
Carrier aircraft are my favorite! (After Willy's 109, of course)

 

[N4521U]

Carrier...... hmm, Annie says she would like to do one for this GB.
A test catapult shot..... a CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would this qualify???
Can't believe I am asking this. But we all do what the boss demands. Yes?

Mine will be another chopper, SH-3A from HS-4 60's era, blue and international orange.

If it was designed to fly from the deck of a flattop, it's in. I may have to start another kit before the Sea Vixen, parts are yet to be shipped from Roll. Thinking about a Vought SB2U Vindicator to fill the time.

 

[Crimea_River]

3 possibilities in the stash: Tamiya Corsair, Accurate Miniatures Avenger or another Eduard Hellcat.

 

[brucejscott]

Do the Avenger Andy. I have one in my stash and another in the display.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I'm thinking about either a Skua or a TBD.

 

[brucejscott]

Do the Skua David. We may never see another.

 

[Crimea_River]

Do the Avenger Andy. I have one in my stash and another in the display.

Yeah, I was leaning that way. Already did a Hellcat not too long ago and I figure that there might be more than a couple of Corsairs. I want to do an Atlantic scheme for the Avenger but have not seen anything too interesting. Suggestions welcome.

 

[fubar57]

Oh...debations, debations. Mk.XIV spitfire RCN, Hellcat, or Corsair. And then, near the bottom of my stash, long forgotten, this.

A Scooter from the Bonnie Dick is my choice. Anyone have any thoughts or fears about this kit?

Geo

EDIT I agree with Bruce VB. Might persuade me to buy one.

 

[brucejscott]

That is a great kit George. Built one way back, don't remember having any problems.

Andy, I seem to recall a version of the atlantic scheme that was similar to the three-tone pacific scheme but with the blues replaced with two greys. I will try to see if I can find where I saw it.

USS Tripoli CVE-64

Atlantic Anti-Submarine Scheme I

Dark Gull Grey, Light Gull Grey, Non-Spectacular White

Makes for a rather handsome aircraft.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice Bruce. Most I've seen have a white and gull gray scheme but that looks pretty nice.

I believe that the judges weighed in on this earlier; If it was launched off of a ship it qualifies!

Sweet!

 

[meatloaf109]

I got the Hasagawa and the old Monogram, (rebox as Revell) in a thrift store, the F-8 I bought special for this GB. The F-8 is first, and then the others as time allows.

 

[A4K]

Go the A-4 Geo!!!

Considering a few different types.
If I understand correctly that any aircraft is eligible if it was originally designed to be used on carriers, then there are a few land based options...(A6M2-K, RNZAF Buffalo or Seafire XV instructional airframe maybe...)

 

[Catch22]

I've got an F-14 for sure, and maybe a 1/32 Avenger or 1/48 Super Hornet, or 1/48 Firefly. Really not sure yet.

 

[Lucky13]

Trumpeter's 1/32 F4U-4 from VMF-323, if I can find a '13' with the snake noseart, otherwise, just the '18'....

 

[Catch22]

Here's all I can find Jan:

Vought F4U Corsair | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I wish I could find a larger size of that last one!

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers pal! Wonder if it would be safe to do one '13' with the snake, or?

Edit: Found this, use this as start, get the Serial # for the '13'...
