Group Captain Canada's thread

[Captain Canada]

So, kids are off to school. Wife has day off so we have a few things to get done around the house, but tomorrow ? Well, tomorrow ( and from then on ) I'm all alone ! I'm going to start with Geoff's idea, and build a RW or two before the actual build. Probably a mk.1 Spit and Hurri.

Ideas ? Lots. Too many.

-Bf.109 as a Defiant type
-Twin Spitfire of some sort
-Biplane like a Wildebeast or Fairey Fox for coastal patrol/ minelaying etc.
-Harvard as a makeshift defender, either turreted or with gun pods
-B-17C, twin Merlins, 48th scale Spitfire outer wings, as a Supermarine type.
-Bf.110 with a refined single seat cockpit
-Gigant on UK soil unloading broken down 109s and equipment to increase range.

Too many ( so many ) options !

I don't see any Harriers on that list...

[Captain Canada]

Well if it were an anything goes BoB build.....

A 109 as a Defiant type sounds intriguing. The German's could have followed the RAF down the old WWI 2 place fighter path as a insurance just in case the idea was still valid in 1938 I suppose. I say build it Capt 

[Captain Canada]

Cheers Chris and thanks for the info into it's validity !

  Didn't notice i was posting on the GB thread... I'm sorry for the slight thread deviation and, any dilemmas that my out-of-place suggestion for you to work on some of your harriers may have caused... 

[Captain Canada]

lol no worries....I think a BoB themed harrier would look excellent !

Maybe as an Anniversary scheme?

Summat like a low-wing version of this? 

[Captain Canada]

Exactly.....and a real fighter like an FRS or an FA

Nice ! Yes, just like that, only more Supermarine-ish. Or Boeing ! I guess it wouldn't really matter eh ? Is it the 15th yet ?

Grafting a Defiant turret onto an Me-109 would NOT be an easy task! 

That Defiant rear fuselage is remarkably wide and an Me-109 is pretty narrow.

(Don't ask me how I know this................... )

[Captain Canada]

I haven't figured out what to use yet....I'll dig through the spares box. And besides, the Battle hasn't started yet 

[jcf]

1/72 Bf 110 fuselage with 1/48 Bf 109 wings perhaps?

Or a trimotor?  1/48 109 fuselage, 110 wings.

[Captain Canada]

Ya that would work !
