a question !! if you could build any model (kit or scratch) what would it be and why ??

[Ian M]

A tough question. Totally pants at scratch building so here we are talking dream kits...
1/200 WWII Ark Royal
British classic motorcycle s in 1/6 from Tamiya, a Vincent black shadow, Triumph, that kind of thing.

1/24 He 219 Uhu

I have the two 1/32 Revell kits and they are big enough. So a 1/24 would be fantastic lol. Gets my vote

[Ian M]

If it's supposed to be a kit that exists, the I would have to say the 1/35 Scammel tractors and tank transporter.

Building something from the stash would be fun. I have scratched up a conversion of the Steyr 1500A1 to a Steyr 2000A for my current project. If I had one shot to build/scratch a kit, it would probably be an F 108 large cable trailer used for V2 launch work and looks like this,

The trailer frame is available as a resin kit, but the body, doors, reels and the rest must all be scratch built. I just love a challenge...…….

Hi Alan, always liked nightfighters once i get a few more large scale planes out of the way as practice, I plan to do some 219's. Got the Tamiya one and 3 1/32 revells. Been hunting down some bargains on the web

A walk in the park for a man of your calibre

Bob. Revell are going to be releasing the 1/32 Dragon Bf110 C7 kit this summer (for a lot less than the Dragon kit). You can get a conversion kit for it to make it into a G4 nightfighter. There are some amazing builds on LSP for this very kit/conversion

Also the ICM/Revell Do215 B5 kit is meant to be a great build

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Alan better get building and the credit card out of re hab! Never built a Me 110 and of course a lot more practice needed, although learning a lot doing my Bf 109 and a 1/48 Stuka

[AlanG]

Sorry to the OP for going off topic for a minute....

Bob i am going the whole hog on nightfighters too. I've got in the stash as 1/32kits: He219 A0/A2/A2 'Late'/A5/A7, Fw190 A8/R11, Bf109 G6 (3./JG300), Me262B-1a/U1. Waiting here for the Bf110 kit to be released and i'm getting the conversion for it. I also have the 1/32 Ju88 A4 kit and might be getting the C6/G1/G6 conversion for it. I have the G4 in 1/48 too. Considering getting the Do215 B5 kit

[BattleshipBob]

Oh ere Alan great stash, got 2 revell A 0 and 1 A5. Going to attempt the tamiya 219 first. Read very good reviews so hopefully ok for my average skills!

Do you have the conversion details please. Would imagine Revell doing a G4 using the C?? Would be a big seller.

Thanks Paul, but I think we need to worry about Bob at the moment. The poor man has gone wing thingy I think and his ever growing stash proves the point. Maybe he has just forgotten to take his Stug meds...……….

Allen,
I think you may be right we need to rescue him from the dark side and lead him back to the light of heavy metal.

[BattleshipBob]

Ah now do not worry, close to finishing two mighty Stugs, got a big pile of Stug kits and far too many Stug books, new one soon yippee

So a division yes but the Stug rules but perhaps need stronger meds lol

[Allen Dewire]

Whew!!!!! Thanks Bob, you had us worried there for a few minutes…...We were considering harsh methods to bring you back such as a good beating about the head and shoulders…………………………………..

I must say, I change my direction occasionally, so what I would like to build now, could be totally forgotten in the next 6 months! I'd love to build a 1/35 Matilda I, but scratchbuilding would be beyond my skill level, and I don't get on with resin kits, so that is a non-starter.
At the moment, I've got most of my 'wanted' models, in the stash ( 1/48 Su-27, F-14 etc ), but if manufacturers keep on pushing desirable new products, who knows?
