The Boat it is 👍 If you like the Sikorsky, I also have these two super cool Sikorsky kits in the stash. Only the S-38 has a twin engine - the S-39 has a single. Interestingly, you can do the S-38 as the Osa's Ark with zebra stripes, and the S-39 with giraffe spots. Maybe I'll tackle them after the JRS-1. HI Mike Great choice and PM sent.

DocRob Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Some days away without a computer an whoosh, there is a new group build. The theme initially didn´t ring a bell with me, having recently finished a Fly 1/32 Arado 234 and the Tamiya 1/48 P-38. I thought for a bit and came with the PBY 1H, converted from HKM´s B-25, but Ernie got that. Tamiya Mossie, meh, ME 262 also covered by Carl others in stash, also meh. I´m still undecided and need some persuasion to take part, as my modeling plans included everything except twins. Possible candidates from stash (there´s more, but there is a little itch with these). AEG G.IV, might be a bit too much work, but I thought about starting this one more than once. The DO-335 with loots of goodies, also nearly started a while ago. A 1/48 Do 17 Z Hmmh, forgot to take a pic, but there is also the 1/32 Horten from Zoukei Moura. All German subjects, turns me also down a bit, I don´t know..........................................................................................................................................................

BlrwestSiR Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 My vote would be the Do-335. I considered that one as well before settling on the 262. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlubber Mike Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think the AEG is a big project, at least from what I've read. If you have the time, would love to see you build that one as I have the kit and would learn a lot following what would be a stellar build from you. If not the AEG, I'd say the Do-17. I also have that one in the stash and selfishly would benefit from seeing you work your magic on it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The AEG would be an awesome entry - loads of work requiring an time, time and more time at the bench.🏆 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Rob, Mosquito, you will love it. I was uncertain for a long while but would build it again in a flash…….Mossie, Mossie, Mossie……. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Thanks for your opinions Señhores, the Do-17 is ruled out. If I take part, it will be Do 335 or AEG. Counting your input, the AEG is the winner even taking into account a redicule in code by @CANicoll . I´m a bit more tempted by the AEG as well, but it is indeed a huge project with all the decaling and rigging. @Bomber_County: The Tamiya Mossie is out of question, Bill is building one and that´s enough. I also don´t want to build a super kit now, even with tons of resin to add. Cheers Rob 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I love the AEG kit, and of course WNW is/was in a class of their own. For me, it is just all that rigging that kills me. I never felt like I could do those kits proper justice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built three simple to rig planes from WNW and MikroMir, a Pfalz, a Hansa Brandenburg and a Fokker D.VIII and developed my method with Bob´s buckles and thin fishing line. The benefit of this method, is you strengthen the wing-strut connection and the plane will be more rigid in the end. I used a simpler effort with my two 1/48 SSW´s from Eduard with elastic thread. It´s not that hard with these simple planes, but with the AEG this would be a step up. I still have to manage British rigging with flat wire.

DocRob Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 @Martinnfb One more question, before I choose. The new Sparviero kit from Eduard is a must build for me. This ugly flying tractor attracts me a lot. I know it has three engines, but could we just say, it´s a twin with an extra aggregate? There will never be a triple engine GB, so this poor fellow will never appear in one.

Peterpools Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Rob Maybe martin could expand the theme a bit and make it Twins or Triplets. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 @DocRob If I remember correctly, isn't EZ Line flat? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Sorry guys , twins only. It’s a pretty open concept allowing for a wide selection of subjects. However , we can plan this for the next GB,such as Mediterranean GB, or the Made in Italia GB , or From Africa with love GB, Crazy camo patterns GB, ….List goes on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Martin, I can see that being by one third out of the GB theme isn´t close enough. The Sparviero will have it´s chance later .
