Operation Cosford 2012

[Weaver]

Given my poor building rate at the moment, I think I should steer clear of giving firm comittments to tricky projects. Looking at those plans, I don't see a place for my souped-up Lysander, so I'll withdraw it.


Things I could do very easily:

1. Me.1111 (PM kit) to replace the Me-163

2. Red Arrows Fiat-91 to replace the Red Arrows Gnat



Suggestions:

The logical replacement for the SR-53 would surely be Freightdog's Avro 720? (I havn't got one...)

The logical replacement for one of the Lightnings would be Freightdog's SR.177 (ditto...)

The logical replacement for the Pucara would be a Bronco in Argentine colours.

Martin, I'd rather give you the Dagger Hurricane to replace the Far East one you have.  The latter is pretty ropey and the former wouldn't take much to finish.  Actually, there's a Croatian one with a DB 605 which also needs very little work to finish. Found that one a few weeks back.

I have a Pucara in royal Malta defence force colours for post Falklands if thats a help ?

[Geoff]

Do you want the Mig-21 or Su-15, both in RAF markings?

[Martin H]

id say yes geoff, they can replace the two proto lightnings:)

[thedarkmaster]

I also have an Argentine A10 in the pipeline for my alternative falklands builds.....could this replace the Pucara ??

[Radish]

I've an Argie Navy F-4S if it's of use

I also have a MiG21 SMT in that 2 tone grey the Phantoms used in the mid 80's as well as an RAF Mig23 and 29 if you want 'em; As well as some ideas for ME262's.

In the already made and reasonably presentable corner, I have the following. I'm not sure where exactly they'd fit or what they'd substitute for, but I can bring them if you want them (and I may bring them anyway, depending on transport).



Flitzer in low-viz grey WWII German markings

Nicaraguan single-seat Iskra with rocket pods and AA-8s

El Salvadorean single-seat Magister with rocket pods


Everything else is either wheels-up and/or has a pilot figure in it, I'm afraid.

what are we going to use to replace the hind and the dinah in 3?
and whats the aircraft between the tsr2 and the sr51

i think the mancunian shold replace the lincon

[PR19_Kit]

and whats the aircraft between the tsr2 and the sr51

That'll be the Hunting H126 Jet wing research aircraft, Now that really WILL be difficult to replace, unless someone has bult an 'in service' one in camouflage etc.

And it looks like Cosford really HAS got a PR19 at last!!! See here :- http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/news/article.cfm?headline=Museum-unveils-new-Spitfire

I'm willing to make up a Pe8 to replace the Lincoln ?

how about a Saab J-29 Tunnan with straight wings painted the same as the real aircraft

[PR19_Kit]

Did someone mention an MRCA in here somewhere? I've just found an unbuilt Airfix MRCA kit that I'd donate to a willing soul who'd build it. I won't have enough building time before the event.

[kitbasher]

If I could find an Airfix A-4 Skyhawk I'd like to have a go at chopping it up to look a bit like the SR53.  Along the lines of the 'fake' Angel Interceptor at Telford - 'I wanted an Airfix or a Freightdog SR53 but couldn't find/afford one' kind of thing.
Also, I could bring my Kestrel Gladiator to replace the Hind?
I do like Lenny's Tunnan idea!
