Trainers With Teeth and COIN Group Build

[Jeffry Fontaine]

Was there ever a trainer version of the TSR.2 planned?   And if yes, what external missiles could/would it have carried? 
Daryl J., hoping the question is in the right thread......

One of our members did build a TSR2 Trainer version that used a canopy from a Folland Gnat trainer and it came out looking real good.  Do not remember who it was but you might want to do a search under the TSR2 Forum Board for it. 

There was a discussion somewhere back on this thread about trainer versions of front-line jets, and it was agreed (I think) that they shouldn't be elegible for this GB. The thinking is that the "spirit" of this GB is armed adaptions of aircraft whose primary role is training, hence the merger with the COIN thread. Having said that, the "official" rules for this GB have yet to be posted.

That was me that brought that up in this topic and for good reason since the original threads had been on COIN aircraft and Trainers before they were merged it was something that needed to be discussed.

........since I'm in dentistry......perhaps I should give the lab a call and see what they'd charge me to make some real porcelain fangs and put them on some type of trainer.   That would literally be a trainer with teeth wouldn't it?     


Nah.....the lab bills would be pushing over $US1,000.....    Otherwise I'd do it just for the pun.



Daryl J., admittedly a little silly

My oldest got a custom pair from our dentist for only $50 a couple years ago when he was working the Haunted House at Lagoon.

I do like the idea, but maybe just painting them on...

another good trainer that could be turned into a COIN/CAS aircraft is the Sabca S60.
it was SABCA's awnser to the fokker S.15 Machtrainer, designed as a new trainer for the Belgian Air Force.
however, it didnt get any further then the drawing board 

it does have some potential

So who is taking the lead on this?

Anthony sent me an email and I can run it but I didn't orignate the GB idea.

We need start date, rules, etc.

Well seeing as this is my monster, so to speak, gimme a day or so to come up with some details.

You got it Jeremy.
If you want some help, I am willing to assist.

[Jeffry Fontaine]

No teeth but it could be built as such.  Here is a link to a 1/48th scale  L&M Resin PC-9A & PC-9AM built by Igor Petrovic that I thought would be worth sharing. 

Not familiar with L&M Resin but this looks like a nice kit.

Has anyone heard when this GB is going to get off the ground?

I may not be able to hold back on my Bleriot IX, Stearman and Ryan PT-20 much longer...

My Chipmunk is ready and waiting also.

Think Rallymodeler and/or Nils have the duty on this.

I did volunteer but they are the ones who suggested the GB.

Actually, haven't heard any info on any of the last 5 GBs that were voted in.

i dont think i suggested the GB, but i do like to enter.
i still have a Gnat here witch was meant for the Grey Pride GB, but never got on the worktable as i was to busy with the spitfire GB and other projects.

im still thinking of entering with a modified singleseat Hawk T.1 or T.2, and maybe even a COIN helicopter

Does the existence of this subforum mean that there is no competition but special common interst?

Does the existence of this subforum mean that there is no competition but special common interst?

I presume it just means that there were several related threads, better kept together, and that when/if the GB is launched, it will have it's own forum as usual.

Carlos,

I set up the sub-forum/child board so that the group build could be launched by Anthony when the time comes.  All he has to do is move it.

Can i play?
I'd like to do a Coin Zlin 142, I might try 'digital' camo in two tone green with colourful markings from one of the ZotZ sets

something African I think..
