OOB (Out of Box) unofficial GB - anyone keen?

[GrauGeist]

Thanks for the encouragement, guys...I am so far past my modelling days, it's not even funny.

I'd probably have to start as a total rank amateur, since I haven't really produced a complete model since 1999 (I probably have paints that are older than many of the members here) and it'll certainly take some time to get back into the swing of things...

No worries Dave, it will be great to have you with us.
I don't know if you even need to bother about 'category' level, as (I atleast) never intended this to be a judged event, thinking that may deter some people, defeating the purpose.
I'm not sure what others' thoughts are on that.

As for Shirley, Caroline and co, you can call me anything you like, just not late for dinner...

 

[Wayne Little]

Fun builds...no pressure...way to go Shirley...er....Evan...

 

[Lucky13]

Yip! I agree with Shirl.....Caro.....Cor.....what was your name again??

 

[A4K]

Like the kiwi who was pulled over by the cops, and asked to identify himself. He pulled out a mirror, and said 'Yep - that's me!'

 

[Wayne Little]

Think I will make some time to get into this OOB thingy....finally decided on the subject matter.....1/48 Airfix Seafire FR.46...

 

[A4K]

Nice one Wayne! Be great to have you with us.

Very cool Wayne. I think you'll like the kit. I'm impressed with the Mark XII.

 

[GrauGeist]

Cool!

The more the merrier

I have paint even older than that. Sounds like a fun build. With over 500 kits, I should be able to find something to build. Dave, you can't be much older that me since I'm 65 and plan to build until I'm 100 just to finish my stash.

Always happy to join in Evan..

Got a few Airfix Spittys Andy and the new generation do look good so it really becomes a no brainer...it will be my first Airfix kit in some 30plus years!

The building till 100 sounds great....I may need more time....

Nice Wayne. I built that as a Mk.47 just after it was released and don't recall any issues.

One area I didn't like is that the trailing edge of the wing is quite thick owing to the separate flaps.

I'll sort it out in due course if it comes up, cheers mate.

That Seafire is a great kit, but I know the canopy/windscreen joint is too vertical, should be angled forward more. When I built it I corrected it my using a vac canopy, but in an OOB build that's not an option

 

[at6]

Am considering an older Heller T-6. Is painting side detailing allowed so that the model would look more like it has an interior? I ask this because the only parts inside are a floor with seats, control columns, and not accurate but acceptable instrument panels.

 

[Airframes]

I would think that would be allowed, as it's paint, not addition of 'solid' aftermarket parts.

 

[Wurger]

Agreed.

 

[Crimea_River]

Agree with the agree.
