The Next Generation Group Builds Listing

[Lucky13]

Same here, still want that P-39 one as well, as it has a '13' on it!

 

[DBII]

I started work for the Aircraft in Foreign Service WW2 / Captured Aircraft SPLIT BUILD. Where do I post the photos?

Start a thread right under 'Group Builds' with the proper title and format (you can look at any GB thread to see what's needed) and it will be moved by a Mod when the Foreign Service GB area when it's created.

 

[DBII]

Thanks. I went to two model shops and no one has the RLM 02 grey green. Any suggestions?

Buy online, its usually the only way to quickly find what you want.

 

[Airframes]

Or mix from dark green and grey, for example Humbrol 30 Dark Green and Humbrol 27 Sea Grey, roughly 50/50.

 

[Nxthanos]

When will there be a forum for the next build?

I just bought decals for a 1/48 Gloster gladiator for that build!

 

[Airframes]

It's started, with posts in the general section of the GBs. Soon as Wojtek or another mod can find the time, the actual GB entries will be moved to the relevant place.

Got a question guys: What are the limlits of the Foreign service GB? Ie, must it be 1939-45, or enough for a WW II aircraft in post war service?
Considering a kiwi P-51D-25-NT. We received them in 1945 to replace the F4U-1s, but as hostilities ceased before they could be utilised, they were moth-balled. 6 years later the TAF was formed, and they were pulled from storage, serving from 1951 to 1954/5.
Another option is an RNZAF Mozzie FB.VI in postwar scheme. Atleast some of these were ex 487 (NZ) sqn machines.

If I have time I was going to enter a Mustang used by the Dominican AF in the late 1950s so I didn't assume and date restrictions.

 

[Nxthanos]

How about teh spanish civil war, would planes from that count?

 

[imalko]

Again I have to return to the official title of this group build - "Aircraft in Foreign Service WW2", so there's the answer to that question.

 

[A4K]

Ah, thanks Igor! Seems I didn't read the whole title...(Doh!)

 

[T Bolt]

I guess I'll have to put that P-51 on hold also

 

[Nxthanos]

I'm still working on my Ki 61, plus i have an MS 406 i want to do next, but I will be in on the foreign service build.

I have several planes for it in fact.

 

[DBII]

How about a second chance GB? Build anything from an earlier GB that you did not submit an entry?

[imalko]

I suggested the same in another thread. Think it's a good idea. It could be done either as unofficial Group Build, or could be made official after our current GB listing is completed.

 

[Crimea_River]

I'd love that. I missed MTO, PTO and Reich Defenders and would be keen to throw a hunk of styrene into any one of those.

 

[Catch22]

I've also missed a couple that I regret, either because I didn't finish or because of the weather. Would like to do a Typhoon or Tempest.

 

[Nxthanos]

I missed a bunch because I wasn't on he site yet.

Lately I haven't been able to muster the juice to build anything.
