Heres one ive fancied for a while , how about the pre cut flying balsa kits by KeilKraft , Guillows etc . The ones where you have to make the framework then cover with tissue , theres loads to choose from and prices are quite reasonable. If you want to just keep it as a static and try and make it as realistic as possible fine or if you fancy throwing it through the air then thats also fine (as long as you show pics of it after the landing!)

That could be something very different and challenging Tony, great idea. Back to the beginning, from the Preplastic Age when men were men and sheep were scared?

So only open for Kiwi's and the Welsh then.


A good idea though I will agree. The build not the sheep.

The Country Flag.


We can dedicate every year a GB to an specific country (the less habituals could be nice)...Chine, France, Korea,.... Then you can build what you prefer! Planes, tanks,...

Kitbash: ...panther tank body with an abrams turret or scimitar body with a panther turret? To name a couple???

I like that idea a lot, I've had my eye on a few after market decal sets that would work well in this.

Not sure that you want to plan things for many years to come. One year at a time is the way to go.


It was a good idea though,

Well it could be tried for one year, don't have to plan more than that - if it works well it may get proposed again, and if it fails, well, it won't.

Twin seat fast jets.


British Army on the Rhine.


Why have they got them? - service arms operating other arms equipment, Navy aircraft, RAF boats, Army aircraft. Something that you would normally associated with one of the service arms being operated by another.


Reconnaissance - anything to do with surveillance, data gathering, spying or searching - planes, armour, boats...

Due to an 'inspired' comment in another thread, how about this.


From a song. Any genre, war or peace. Military or civil. Just as long as it is clear what the song is.


Think of Grumpa's crocodile rocks dio. And you will get the idea....

Special Terrestrial Vehicles


Tractors, fire engines, ambulance, TACR (tactical airfield crash rescue), snow plug,... All those vehicles that are created for an specific function....


Not weapon!!!

1945


The last "Weathering Magazine/N11" talk about that. I not bought it yet, but I think is a good idea. The last projects and camouflages on the WWII.


Interesting items and research possibility.

 

[Robert1968]

We all talk of armour and kits to build from but here's one ( prob not worthy in this thread but do you remember HBO " Band of Brothers "? "Episode 9 why we fight" and the company stumble across a POW camp. Think there are at least two Willys jeeps in the scene and maybe a U.S. truck. Personnel for said build could be sourced and vehicles too 1/72 would work but figure painting maybe be hard ( magnify glass out ) or part scene in 1/35? The fencing / barbed wire scratch built and simple gate depicted at Landsbruck


Not sure how civilian emacieted POW could be acheived ( scratch build? ) or modify civilians say 15 huddled round the gate and say 6 U.S soldiers the other side with vehicles


Too much?

[Alan 45]
