[wkennerley]

Please add a 'far out' what-if to my entry, I will hopefully manage two builds!!

Thanks, Wayne

[Romeo Alpha Yankee]

I have narrowed my entries to either (or both) a 1/72 XB-35 (AMT kit) appropriately modified as a production export version or a 1/72 F8U-IT, Twin seat F8 Crusader (Academy kit with Airmodel conversion).

[AnonymousDFB1]

Well I'm prepared to start teasing with my entries. The first two are the same airframe, but different Mks the first will upset Tonka fans but it's not a Tonka, the second will upset Canberra fans and it's not a Canberra. If all goes well with them two (I'm planning on a parallel build with them) I'll try building my TSR.2 Eagle in Gulf war colours and stores.

[Daniel]

Mish,

I am confused, I only presume it is an airframe that sits between a Canberra and Tonka in a timeline, and your story involves it replacing the Canberra and the Tonka never replacing it..?

Or not...

Anyway, updated list:

[Mark M]

i will join if i may, ive been thinking about thisfor a while, depends what i buy todat from newark, but im heading doen the lines of either a red arrows harrier / bucc or perhapse a modern jet dressed in ww2 night fighter outfit, but with the time scale i may change my mind 6 times

[Col.]

Ray and Mark - a fine sellection of interesting potential projects there

Mish - you're a bad girl!

As for me, well I reorganised the stash a couple days ago and moved my TSR.2 to the front along with a Hunter that is looking like the basis for a conversion to either P.1090 or 1091 standard as a SuperHunter. The only information I have on either is a basic outline in plan so my imagination will have to fill in the blanks.

[Devilfish]

Well I seem to have added a few to my stash now, giving me some more choices.

Latest addition is a Vulcan, to be done as a B3. (serious work involved for me, seeing as I'm new back to the world of airplanes)

I also have 2 TSR2's

A Hawk 100 to be a modern TSR2 (Eagle GR4) conversion trainer

Still looking tho.....final decision depends on how long it takes me to get everything i need together and then put it all together....

[AnonymousDFB1]

Oh I am pleased

You'll have to wait for the full story....

[Charlie Cheetah]

I'd like to add my name to the list as well please, I have been wanting to do a Fiat G.91/F1 for quite some time. Thanks

[Devilfish]

I'd like to put one of the GB pics in my sig block......But I have no idea how.....??

[F111Fan]

Hi all,

Thought I'd re-upload the banners now the topic has moved from GB Chat

Devilfish-go to this link and hover over the banner you want. At the bottom of the little box that appears around the picture, there should be a little bar containing a code beginning with tags. Copy this entire thing, and click on your controls. FInd the signiture bit, click "Change my signiture", and paste that code into it. Click on the button at the bottom to change your sig, and there you go! Hope that all makes sense!

[Séan Pádraig]

I've nursed a 'what if' idea for a while now and have the kit and the story all sorted.

If it's not too late I'd be up for it.

[AnonymousFO98]

May possibly be in with a whif

Talk about the Esci 1/72 AV-8B kit has shown it is not up to par when i have a couple of more accurate Airfix kits.

Posing the question, "What can I do with the ESCI?" Gengriz suggested a Chinese back engineered version.

I kinda like the idea but my imagination started to warm up, and I thought of altering the intakes to do away with the aux doors and next thing am thinking 3rd Gen Supersonic Harriers!

So What If a P1159 type Harrier III was developed? Not by the Chinese but by us jolly Brits/Americans

though I like the idea of Chinese disruptive camo even if they seem mostly to have boring grey jobbies now.

trouble is the timeframe as 3 months is pushing it for a single seat prop oob.

depends on all sorts of factors so will let you know nearer the day. Could do with some fun builds though!

[Daniel]

Walrus,

Sounds good, why not use the 3 months as a positive, and just go back to bare bones modelling and have fun with it, not worrying too much?
