discussion A 1/24 scale Aircraft SIG

[Guest]

One of my suggestions was for The Red Arrows with the intention of all nine being done by contributors.

I would do a Red Arrow in 1/24, but they don't do one. Start a SIG for Red Arrows in any scale where everyone does a specific number for the 50th Anniversary and I'm in immediately!

That's exactly what I suggested Mike but there weren't enough takers. Sob!

I'm new to the forum but I believe there's rules to starting a SIG that isn't Calendar defined, PM me the link and I'm in! Will build three just to make up the numbers!!

 

[Ian M]

Yes there are indeed rules to the SIG's

Ask me how I know.

How ever if anyone wishes to do an unofficial GB it would not be the first time.

This list is only a provisional so no worries there Alan.

Well I'll put you down for the Spit, as I wrote to Alan, this list is only a draft, so we can get an idea over what is in our thoughts

So I've just checked my box of the Spitfire Mk Vb cheapo Gift Set that a lot of people have picked up for bargain basement prices. It's HUGE!! Like oh my god where the hell am I going to put that, huge!!

It's also clearly an old kit, nice panel detail that one can work with, but there is a fair bit of flash and the mould doesn't have that quality Airfix New Tool look to it.

I still plan on popping into Hobbycraft to see if they'll do a Hurricane for bargain prices as was picked up in Basingstoke. So at the moment, I'm Spit Vb.

But watch this space!
