Artful69 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well ... Didn't see this one coming!! ... Ok ... since I have a few months, I may just give this one a crack! I don't expect to win ... My skills are just not that good (no way I'm hitting those links Jeroen - I may just get too discouraged!!!) ... but it will be fun. * De Havilland Mossie "Straight Outta Box(ton)" Rog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artful69 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Don't put yourself down ... Oh!! Don't get me wrong - It wasn't self abasement ... It's like Dirty Harry says: "A man's gotta know his limitations" ... I'm a realist - I'll have a crack at building an OOB mossie (since I'll be on a roll with a 109 and a Spitfire) ... and I want to have a go! ... but the masters can't use me to pace 'em - I'll be taking a leisurely stroll through these 42kms, sir ... and I won't be doing too much that's funky - a very basic build.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 24, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 24, 2015 I'll be building my HK Models Meteor with all the Eduard and Profi Modeller upgrades I could find. Happy days! After that I will build the Lancaster which I will win in this contest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Very nice, I think I will enter the Mossie Prototype. So far only the flaps have been doctored with and nacelles sawn apart. Muuuch less than 25%. Cees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Have started some work on the HK B-17G, but like no way will have it done by June 30th. Oh well such is life - Dollar short and a day late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Ice, It's not the finishing but taking part that counts. And the fun of course. Cees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mish Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Tempted to enter with the mossie, but need to think about it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers ! Laurent. I agree ... Do335 ... If just for a bit of variety ... When is the release date for that one? I'd go the B25 ... But since I'll be doing strict OOB only (and I use Master brass gun barrels where they poke out) it will have to be the Mossie. Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 And a HK Models Lancaster prototype that has been dismembered and just had some Evergreen strip added as fuselage structure? Can that enter too? Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees I think that the sheer fact that this requires a lot of work (still) and that it's a HK Models prototype we an OK this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ok then, the Manchester it is then. In fact I have to mostly build something resembling a kit first and then build it LOL. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I've finished one of the HK Meteors including the G-Force undercarriage, Fisher nacelles and Brassin wheels but I've also ordered and will be building the T7 Meteor when the Fisher upgrade is released in February time. Are upgrades like this allowed or does it have to be OOB? Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 No problem Max. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks Cees, then I'm in with a Meteor T7, already have the kit and many of the AM parts, just waiting for Paul Fisher to send out the resin! Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 OK Cees, started scratch-building the interior of the upper Sperry Turret which will be a model of and in itself, does that count as an entry?
