Airfix Group Build 2011-2012

Scorpiomikey · August 11, 2011, 4:23pm

After a wee bit of interest in the feeler thread im posting a proper GB here with all the rules.

Lets get into it.

Must be an airfix kit. Can be from any time period, any tooling, as long as its branded airfix. (you can even paint up the original airfix combs if you really want, lol)
If you have a kit that is branded differently but is deffinatly an airfix tooling, if you can prove this i will accept it.
Start Date will be sept 1st 2011. This gives enough time for people to prepare.
End date will be Sept 1st 2012. Plenty of time to work through the more complicated kits.
When signing up please post Kit name and scale.
It can be OOB or as much AM or scratchbuilding as you desire.

Ill have a badge up before the start date.

Off we go people.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thanks to VanceCrozier we have a badge. If anyone has any special size requests feel free to ask him.

Same rules as always, save the badge to your own personal image hosting account before putting it in your signature. A completed entry is required before you may take the badge.

I have a Gloster Gladiator I’d like to build, 1/72 scale, using the Airfix kit and Xtradecals Battle of Britain decal sheet. According to the Airfix tribute forum, the original dates back to 1956.

bondoman · August 11, 2011, 4:50pm

Put me down for a 1/72 Supermarine S6B

bsyamato · August 11, 2011, 5:30pm

me on with the 1/72 westland scout ,mold probably 1966…

probably i’ll add another later

traveller · August 11, 2011, 8:08pm

1/48 TSR 2, starting after I get the AM parts I ordered. I need to finish it by October for 2 shows, and a club build. Stupid work thing gets in the way all the time.[|-)]

Greenshirt · August 11, 2011, 8:23pm

I’m in for a Wellington, 72nd.

Tim

TD4438 · August 11, 2011, 8:26pm

I’m definately in with a 1/72 Walrus.

Scorpiomikey · August 11, 2011, 11:00pm

Were up to 7 entries so far. keep them rolling in people.

bondoman · August 12, 2011, 12:02am

Heh heh, I went out to the shop and scanned the stash.

The original release TSR.2 in 1/72.

That’ll do it for me, along with the floater.

MilitaryAircraft101 · August 12, 2011, 1:33am

I’ll be in with two 1/72nd kits… HS123 and BF110 new tool.

Phil_H · August 12, 2011, 1:50am

No-one tackling that most iconic and quintessentially “Airfix” kit, the 1/72 Spitfire Mk1a ??

I have one in a Heller boxing (trust me, I know an Airfix pilot figure when I see one).

Jafa · August 12, 2011, 4:14am

.

ME!!!

My daughter went to the Imperial war museum and brought this home with her.

It is the 1/72nd Spitfire MK1a starter set with 4 little pots of paint, brush and cement.

I have plans to get to it at some stage and am looking at buying a set of Airfix figures and building a small diorama.

Can you add me please scorpiomikey

Phil_H · August 12, 2011, 4:22am

Hey Jafa,

I believe you have the latest and greatest 2010 tool Mk.1a.

Nice…[:)]

EDIT: Actually, now that I’ve looked it up, I’m not too sure which one you have [:(DD] If it has 29 parts, it will be the “classic” version.

I might keep looking for something appropriate. (and maybe do the “classic” version Spit.)

VanceCrozier · August 12, 2011, 6:52am

OK OK - I see the end date in 2012 - I’ll officially put myself down with my Heinkel 177 in 1/72. I wonder if I dare use the original decals? [^o)] I’ll have to check them out & test an unwanted one.

Phil_H · August 12, 2011, 7:05am

Microscale Liquid decal film all round perhaps?

Might be an essential accessory for everyone in this GB [;)]

VanceCrozier · August 12, 2011, 7:13am

I’ve got a bottle for just such an occasion! But the Magister I posted earlier - used the original decals! (Where else was I going to get decals for a Belgian trainer!?) The only thing I did was sun-bleach them in the window. Actually that reminds me, if I want to try the kit decals I really should hang them somewhere right now while the summer sun is on my side.

Greenshirt · August 12, 2011, 7:14am

Okay, add a classic Airfix Spitfire to my Wellington. The reboxing is #1071. #1071a is the new-tool Mk Ia and #2010 is the new-tool Mk Ia/IIa.

Tim

bsyamato · August 12, 2011, 8:57am

a Vance is not signed in the list [whstl]

Jafa · August 12, 2011, 8:45pm

Yes 29 parts, no cockpit detail at all, says AS50077 on the box and instruction set. I am going to try and find images of the instrument panel to scratch build, or at least print and stick?

Also need to try and cut the canopy to have it open for display (if I can scratch together a cockpit).
