My Ability to Imagine is only exceeded by my Imagined Abilities

Gondor's Modelling Rule Number Three: Everything will fit perfectly untill you apply glue...

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

As it's gone 9 pm on March 1st I'm assuming we have..................
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Quote from: sandiego89 on February 08, 2023, 07:09:37 AMMight be best to specifically state if something from the 1950's in later service is eligible or not, or if something from the 1940's (or earlier) but still serving in the 1950's is eligible.  Looks like Dizzy was asking about a F-106 (first flight 1959) but in later Vietnam service. 

Either:

2 Physical models of any scale, profiles, and stories are eligible but your subject must be a whif that was either built, designed, proposed, considered or used during the 1950's.  Subjects from this era, but serving in later service are allowed (eg: a B-52 in 2023, a 1950's Havana taxi still being used).  Subjects from earlier eras, but in service in the 1950's are allowed (eg: a DC-3 flying for Rhodesian airlines in 1956).

or

2 Physical models of any scale, profiles, and stories are eligible but your subject must be a whif that was either built, designed, proposed, considered or used and in service during the 1950's.  Subjects from this era, but in later use are not permitted (eg: a EE Lightning in 1972 service with Switzerland is not eligible)   



OK we have checked the VAR and we are going with

Can we for once and for all clarify this rule.  It seems Dizzy has a Gulf War 1 (1991) Jet Provost build in progress.  Is a 50s design in later service allowed or not?  I assumed NOT based on this post.

To me the scope of entries is not clear yet.  :blink:  The original rules post includes things that were designed in the Fifties and also used later, and to me there has been no conclusive update or change to this duing the following discussion in this thread? If these are excluded, my DSB V 200 won't be eligible, too. I would not mind and the threads can be moved to other sections, but I'd prefer a wider scope, like zenrat.

NARSES2

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yes, clarification please.

You say "your subject must be a whif that was either built, designed, proposed, considered or used and in service during the 1950's.  Subjects from this era, but in later use are not permitted".

Do you mean "your subject must be shown being used during the 1950's"?

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Fair enough. Then I'll sit back and enjoy the show as my subjects, while often proposed/designed in the 1950's, almost invariable are presented as in service in the 1970's to 1990's. But no hard feelings whatsoever, and really great that this was clarified early on.  :thumbsup:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Does the subject have to in service, or do test, trials and developmental operations count?
