The LHC Group Build - General Discussion

[NARSES2]

Plan C would be to make something up - WW2 style white tail?

Commemorative/anniversary scheme ?

[PR19_Kit]

I should have done this ages ago, and Fred could have done it even earlier. 

IT'S STARTED!

So get building guys.

[The Wooksta!]

No.

I find myself wishing Colin would sell a set of 6-8 of his BAC Sabre anti-tank missiles from his great Hawk T.2 set. 

I have the four from the Hawk set and am thinking a RAuxAf Cold War Tank Killer Hunter c.1983 with a laser nose. But it would look better with 6-8 missiles than 4.

So with two Lightning builds now underway I'm wrestling with two Canberra-themed whiffery ideas.  The plan had been to build an EE P.28, but I'm being tempted by the idea of a Canberra/Dominie mashup utilising a Freightdog Dominie radar trainer nose conversion to produce an alternative to the Canberra T.17.

The Martin B-57 'Combat Transport' is discussed at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=12045.msg925548#msg925548, including my own comment regarding the use of a Jetstream rather than a Dominie.  Now I've two Dominies in the stash (one down for whiffing anyway) but only one Jetstream.  And really I don't need to be shelling out on a second Jetstream!

Canberra/Dominie mashup is really tempting, however a third build for this GB must only be started when the Lightnings are well and truly on the way to completion.



Perhaps.

[Steel Penguin]

no idea on building this, but Mrs SP has just asked what weapons would you put on a Canberra to have it oppose lightnings??
after all it will then be a lightning hunter, Canberra.
  its all semantics's, but made us smile   

[Old Wombat]

And it got a chuckle out of me!

[NARSES2]

And it got a chuckle out of me!

Me as well 

[Robomog]

Only one month to go!

 

[NARSES2]

And it's a short one, only 30 days 

[kitnut617]

There's an interesting photo of a Hunter done up like a Sukhoi SU-17 in the latest Air-Britain Aviation World issue.

[zenrat]

Two weeks to go.

You may start bidding for extensions now.  Be generous, both Chris and I have expensive styrene habits to support and Kit still has a ceiling to patch. 

[Gondor]

A suggestion for how Kit can patch his bathroom ceiling. Paper mache using kit boxes! Loads of fun to make up a suitable thickness of sheet to fill the hole with and hours of fun for relatives when they come to clear the lost as nothing will be in a box 

Does that count as enough to get an extension?

No..........................

Nowhere near it in fact.
