Vintage Airfix GB Proposal

[Andy T]

I'm not sure that I have the mental fortitude to tackle an ancient Airfix kit but would hate to miss out on a GB so I'm up for it, if it goes ahead.

[Nicko]

I have a few likely candidates from the remnants of my teenage stash that I've been holding onto for the past 45 years or so. I'll just need to select something suitable that won't cause me to lose the will to live part way through..... so probably not the B29 then.... and I might need to source new decals...

Okay, 1973 issue of a 1968 kit. That's in then

[rtfoe]

I'll join in sometime next year if there is a spot available after recovering and coming out of the loony hospital having done four relic Airfix kits, the Re8, Bolton Paul Defiant(the old one), HP42 and most recent the Belvedere.

I'll search for another suitable candidate...I've got stacks of them just waiting for an opportunity and some torture.

Cheers,
Wabble

When would the GB begin?

I've been considering adding an Airfix P1127 to the stash and this would be a great opportunity to get back to the bench

I like the sound of this madness. Although, I would need to find something really old and a bit obscure / different. Yes, I'm in.

[PaulTRose]

When would the GB begin?

Well then That was quicker than I ever expected.
I will sort out a section for it after I have thrown a few dates into the air. What was the life expectancy of this GB.
Three months?

Would this build allow builds of reboxings as long as it was an Airfix Original?

[Ian M]

The Calendar is quite empty as you got in quick but the start of the year is a bit busy. There is Pete's No Injection, ending March, Lee W's 4 wheeler, set to March to May and the Alan G memorial January to April.

How does April through June sound?

[PaulTRose]

April to june sounds a good fit if it isnt going to get in any one elses way

Plan is any airfix kit that was new tool before 1980 so any rereleases after that are fine since the tooling is still pre 1980....does that make sense?......easy to check on Scalemates

[Ian M]

ok! .
Made a forum for this Paul Please make the start thread with the Intro and any rules (Beyond the normal forum rules).

[Nicko]

Dates are good for me!
