A suggestion for a GB or SIG....
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 2:19 pm
Guys,
I was thinking about Aircraft I'd like to build and a few of them just happen to be manufactured by Hawker, and so I got to thinking about the following suggestion:
In commemoration of everything designed and manufactured by Hawker, before they merged and became Hawker-Siddeley, what about a GB or SIG to build anything made by Hawker from their first Hawker Duiker through to the P.1127 Kestrel. If you're interested in a particular version, but models aren't available and you have the skills to scratch build, then display your talents!
I know there'd be a few aircraft that immediately come to mind...Typhoon, Tempest, Hurricane, Sea Fury and Hunter, but there's a wide range of choices. Maybe the more unfamiliar designs warrant more attention? Maybe with the upcoming release of the Airfix 1/24 scale Typhoon (orgasm) sorry...couldn't help myself...it's a motivator to go grab that kit: if you can financially warrant parting with that kind of cash without upsetting the wife, or breaking the bank and risking foreclosure on your mortgage; and then delighting in the engineering quality of the vast array of details included with this new tooling! OMG....I dream about that model...I hope I don't talk in my sleep, otherwise my wife will be off to a divorce attorney getting divorce papers based on me cheating with another "woman".
Okay, enough of my drivel, but it would be nice to know what everyone else thinks?
Cheers,
Martin
