discussion A 1/24 scale Aircraft SIG

[papa 695]

Hmmm, I actually have a 1:24 Airfix Spit as I was wondering around Hobbycraft and noticed it was £30 for a kit whose RRP was £60, and they offered a further 15% off if I joined their "sell your details and spam you a lot" list, sorry, loyalty card scheme.I could be tempted to join this just for the hell of it!!

Go on Michael you know you want too

I'm tempted but there are a nummber of factors putting me off;

1. I've never built anything bigger than 1/72

2. I don't have a 1/24 kit

3. I don't have the space

4. I have a model railway layout to build plus numerous GB stuff that I am behind with

5. My domestic engineering expert would batter me

Mmmmm I can see that you have a few problems and no5 sounds very dangerous.Perhaps your expert needs a bit of softening up good luck

I was thinking just the same Alan #5 is a lot easier than SWMBO

Rick #1 through 4 are easy enough:

Its about time then.

Buy one

Build an extension

Twelve months... couple of hours here and there...

#5 Thats the tricky one.... however if you instigate #3 she will be way to busy, picking out curtains and wall paper. (Which unless like my #5, you will also have to hang...)

Hmm Probably cheaper to buy her something pretty...

[Guest]

Mmmm....seems I will try it

Can anyone of you tell me where, or which theathers the Typhoon works..?

Is just to recreate an "hipotetic" layout vegetation after a crash or collision...

You do mean hang the curtains/wallpaper and not the Domestic Engineer?

All points between Normandy and North West Germany I think Polux. Other information is probably better informed than mine.

That's pretty much it. Typhoons sank some shipping in the Baltic right at the end of the war. There must be a reason I've remembered that, but I don't know why.

Well that is up to you Rick but I would probably say the wall paper. lol

Errr....

If I build the Typhoon 1/24 wrecked...how it can be considered...? A 1/24 plane SIG or the wrecked SIG...?

Ohhh....I'm losing the north!!

An act of insanity...

I am not going to say you cant do that but I would, in a friendly way suggest that you put the calvados away and seriously consider wanting to build a wreck out of a rather expensive kit.

Do a wreck by all means but think about buying a cheaper one. I feel I know you well enough to say that you will do a great job from a cheap kit, as a wreck and if you build the Typhoon as a complete machine, and give it the attention you gave the Stuka you recently built that would be amazing.

At the end of the day it is your kit and you will build it as you see fit.

As for which build to put it in. I would go for the one that will give you the most time to complete it in.

ps Did you vote Sí in the "opinion poll" yesterday....

 

[Guest]

Ok Ian.

I will build the Typhoon on a normal way...

Is just I want to do something different and new! I think everyone is preparing his best paints and brushes for this SIG....

The budget was spent on a new washer for No.5..........
