In The Navy GB - The Rules - GB EXTENDED UNTIL MIDNIGHT 14th JUNE.

If I get myself in gear I would like to enter a project using the wings salvaged from a previous build. I would prefer to use these previously assembled parts as opposed to cutting up another kit. It would only be the wings and possibly tail surfaces. Plenty of PSR of other parts to make up for it. Would this be acceptable?...

That would be acceptable.  Sounds like a plan.

Yup!

Thanks gentlemen!

Airfix do a Grumman Gosling, but that may be too small. They also do the Duck, but that has an odd shaped hull.

I have a built Duck on the shelf I can compare. If it looks close I'll have to order another. Then I'll have an extra set of biplane wings laying around..........

[Mossie]

Could you use a 1/700 ship hull as a donor?

That thought had occurred to me but then I remembered the old Aeroclub set of vacuformed floats I had in the stash. The largest float in the set looks like it will work perfectly. Problem solved! This looks like it might just happen. Now, what to call it?

Can these two started projects be accepted in this GB?

Hybrid battleship/carrier based on HMS Nelson: https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=41543.msg711644#msg711644

Upgunned HMS Hood: https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=41541.msg711556#msg711556

Depends on;
1) if you have done any more work since you posted the pictures in 2015 (on my birthday - there are no coincidences).
2) if when you posted the pics you had glued all those parts together.

pm on it's way regarding how you can satisfy us...

33 minutes to go here until the bounce.

But i'm going to bed.

All systems go tomorrow!

[Old Wombat]

I still have 40 minutes to decide what to build before kick-off!

I was about to start my build when I thought "The G4M was a Navy bomber, albeit a land-based one...am I breaking the rules or risk disqualification by turning it into a ship-based version".

I don't want to be out-nerded by someone down the line so can I please have a ruling on this.

[Old Wombat]

No, you're still whiffing it!

As Womby says, that's fine as there wasn't, IRL, a carrier based version.
You might want to look at a new number though as the G in G4M stood for Land Based Attack Bomber.
Carrier Based Attack Bombers were coded B.

That's up to you though as those rules only applied in real life.

[ysi_maniac]

Can I submit another "only for parts" project to In the Navy/Quarantine GB?



My intention: Transform a HMS KGV into HMS Temeraire (with some creativity) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-class_battleship

[Old Wombat]

Carlos, I haven't discussed this with zenrat but I'm giving you the go-ahead on this, it is all in pieces, after all.
