Anyone else????

I’ll be doing eduards 1/48 DH2.
Not looking forward to all that rigging though!

Not my pic btw, I’m not that organised!

Cool flying bathtub Chief

I’m in

I choose the Weekend Edition instead of the ProfiPACK, I figured the decals will be enough of a challenge, I don’t need PE headaches too!

Good choice Bob

Yes definitely, got the print on my bedroom wall actually!

Kits are great too.

Well I picked up this Armstrong-Whitworth at a show last weekend. Hadn't really planned on joining, but now that I have a kit that fits I might as well.

Was it a Spad James?? I can’t remember

That is what happens when the stash gets to large and the mind gets too old

Would be great to see you build that beauty...and the Tyrell too

I don't have anything from that era in the stash but during some casual browsing there's something that's caught my eye and is tempting me to break my strict "no more new kits" embargo... again...

Embargo’s be dammned man, we are in a world crisis and need your participation in the economy to dig us out
How does that sound ans an excuse for buying a kit

...it works on spouses or a guilty conscious or both

This would be great to see built up

Awesome, no worries moving away from aircraft. Makes sense to do something different and keep the mojo up

Thinking of doing the Wingnuts Sopwith Camel. As a beginner, is a Wingnuts kit going to be a huge challenge? Considering the cost of these kits, I don't want to get in over my head and end up not finishing.

It will be my first WNW kit as well, so we will be in it together

From messing around with some parts and reading, they are a well made, good fitting brand.
The difficulty lies in how detailed you go and what techniques you apply
I am sure between us, we can work through the kits together...I have the pup as well in the stash so can follow your instruction sheet
That is the good part of a forum build

Posted: **Tue Aug 28, 2018 8:57 am**

Me an "Ole bill" here will be showin' up to the party. Got some real wood siding to spruce her up too!

Hey no worries

I started reading up on my my kit online and would reccomend you do the same.
There are many builds and references if you just google search your particular kit
Good time to think about what livery you will paint it and get paint and any aftermarket stuff ordered now
I haven’t decided on mine yet

I know right, what a cool kit

I hope it comes with the hilarious figures shown on the box art...oh wait it is Airfix, not likely

Good addition, I look forward to it

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:08 am**

Armed with my "Scott said it was ok" excuse it looks like I'll be following a similar theme to Digger with this

I would have loved to have given this one a go but the price was way beyond my flimsy rationalisation powers!

Roden makes one of these, although I did read it had some problems with the roof I think. I would love one too , but I think I will wait to see if any corrections occur

Nice choice for the build

Yep I looked at the Roden and probably saw the same reviews as you - problems with the roof, fenders and general fit. One guy totally ripped it to shreds so I had an outbreak of common sense and gave it a miss.

Looking forward to comparing notes on the Ford-T

Count me in, probably for an artillery piece. I've seen a set of 75mm howitzers with crewmen that have piqued my interest, thinking it would make a cool diorama. But then there's this kit of a Sikorsky fighter of the Russian Imperial Air Service.....Can I do both?

Is this a 1/32....I cannot see a scale on the box

Cool vehicles indeed

Why not do both

You can enter as many times into a GB as you like

1/35 .... it really is on the box

Scale is listed on the tractor box,but I don’t see it listed on the Vicker’s gun car @digger303

But hey your right it isn't on the other box...sorry about that I thought you were talking about the tractor.... I'm bad

. I do believe it is 1/35 as I have seen the figure before and that was 1/35.

I think with resicast the first 2 digits of the kit number designate the scale, but not sure about that.

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:27 am**

Ahh, right . I see it now

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:01 am**

@digger303 @Twokidsnosleep - yep sorry guys they're both 1/35

I've also found a Masterbox WW1 figures set that I'll add to the mix to put a small vignette together I think

I think I'm going to enter this, will be my first GB, just finishing up on my Huey Gunship, so the bench is free now, was going to start something else, but this has sparked my interest.

I've never actually built an aeroplane kit (I know!) so I might look for a kit today, choice seems to be limited for WW1, any recommendations?

Or I may just stick with a trusty old tank, I like the look of the Whippet.

Decisions, decisions....good luck everyone.

I should add that I'm probably looking for a fairly quick build, with a baby due in October and my OU degree course is re-starting next month too......

EDIT: I'm in, went for the tank....due to be delivered next week

I was hoping the wnw triplane was going to be here to build but there is no delivery time for it yet. I would like to do one of my wnw kits but all time depending. I have got the Eduard strip down dh2 kit which I may start. Hope to have a full decition on what’s being built in the coming week
