Hi all

 

 

 

 

 

and spotted this after a brief Google :-

Now, if I can only find out which blue that is (which has been frustrating me over the weekend!) I will be ready to start  :)

 

Cheers all

It looks very close to the blue in the roundel......

To answer some questions;

 

GB will start 1st of December, after The Shelf of Doom is finished.

 

I revise my decision on early Isreali aircraft, blue and tan upper is in. Please note Dave we were still nutting out the subject, seeing what people come up with and suggest. It's the first time we've done something like this so there's bound to be some discussion. 

 

Dragon - both the F-18 and Sukhoi (is it?) are in.

 

Yes RLM 76 Bf 109s are in Martin.

 

Yes the Thunderbirds aircraft with the blue thunderbird on the under surface is in.

The Vulgarian Air Force has a number of camo schemes that feature the color blue. I'll try to find time to make one of them for the build. I cannot promise anything though as we just moved back into my rebuilt home (fire in 2015) and are trying to get  unpacked and settled in. Also spending much time in Chicago settling my sister's estate (I am the trustee). 

But this time I will attempt to beat the deadline.

Hi all

 

I've just returned to the site after a longish break (still been building, but not much in big scales) and thought I'd join in with this GB as a form of re-introduction.

 

I have this (purchased at the Nats at a very nice price) :-

I believe that colour is Oxford Blue.  Xtracolor X023 or Humbrol HU104.

Inspiration yes. I am in for this build.

So now I just used this as an opportunity to have some fun looking through my decal stash and let the stash drive the short list:

Blue nose birds of Bodney - the new Revell Mustang

New Corsair decals from Fundekals - new Tamiya Corsair

MiG 21-MF Polish Air Force aircraft '6014' with Blue Swordfish - Trumpeter kit (stacking up as my first choice)

Civilian helicopter from the 2016 Christmas raffle ( first helo build for me)

A few kits...

Blue Squadron makings on one of the silver wing tween the wars biplanes

US Navy yellow wing bird with blue cowl and tail plane.

WNW something, the DVII shown earlier is tempting.

Mostly Racers, I do not have the Lukgraph Blue Goose Boeing F3-B but I did find the Esdale Supermarine S5 Schnieder Racer. Now there was a beautiful blue airplane. I bet that this will beat out the MiG-21MF.

 

So.... When does the build start? I will get busy with the prerequisite photos (and choosing a new site for my photos).
