Really cool hyper super duper group build idea!

[Supertom]

Noxioux put in a good idea here in a recent thread:

Personally, I think the brits should bag all the baloney, and build something of their own and call it Supermarine (insert cool name here). I'd like to see a turn back to the good old days when nations had their own domestic aircraft programs and all this silly cooperation and joint project crap was unheard of.

Therefore, I propose.....

GLORIOUS BRITISH AVIATION GROUP BUILD!!!

That's right, what if these companies never closed shop, and we still have Gloster, Supermarine, Hawker and the like still around?  The challenge in this will have to be new build designs, you can use donor kits of course, but you can really do some serious kitbashing here!

What do you chaps think?

Wooksta can go ahead and submit his Eagle GR.7 of course....    This will not start for quite a while, so as to allow every one to work on concepts and gather the bits and pieces needed.  Plus we have a ton of builds going on anyway.

I like the sound of this one. Lots of wing and tail reshaping here.

And drinking of bitter.


Hmm...(mind working furiously away...)

[Supertom]

It could be like the Soviet group build, except you have to drink lots of beer!  English beer mind you.

I'll do it! I like this idea. Count me in, lads!

In 1958, when I was 5, we moved to England for 4 years, so guess what stirs my blood?! 1st and 2nd generation British jets! Hell, just about any British aircraft, one of the first kits I ever made was the Airfix DH Heron..

If it isn't glaringly obvious by now...

COUNT ME IN!!!

[Leigh]

I'm in

[retro_seventies]

aaaahhhhh what the hey - might as well try and make this one, eh?

i'm in too (ducks for cover).

[gooberliberation]

I'm going to think up ideas for something hideously ugly enough to be worthy of the name Blackburn...

The Buccaneer wasn't ugly enough, nay from some angles it even looks good. I need to think up something.... like....

[John Howling Mouse]

Would I be allowed to enter my mystery Gloster Meteor?
While I admit that I did begin it long before Tom posted this concept, I likely still won't finish it by the deadline, anyhow....

Im IN.  

[Supertom]

Let's have this start after the Vacform group build.  I need to make that and the TSR.2 one official too.

[AeroplaneDriver]

I love the sound of this one.  I'm in and will go ahead and start now by drinking an English beer  

I guess it would be cheating to just rechristen my BAE Systems Firestorm  the Supermarine Swiftfire...
