jacksdad64 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) After having decided to have a break from another modelling forum, for various reasons and having mis-placed my modelling mojo I have decided that I need to get back on the plastic horse. So, I have a few projects I have in mind and I have narrowed it down to four. As I can't seem to make my mind up I will put it your hands and whichever one gets the most votes I will build by way of an introduction to LSP. So here are the four contenders:- 1/24 FRS.1 Sea Harrier. Using the Airfix kit and some of Heritages resin in 899 NAS 'Winged Fist' markings. 1/24 Harrier GR.1. Using the Airfix kit and Flightpath etch/resin/white metal in old school camo. 1/32 SBD 1/2 Dauntless. Using the Trumpeter kit and AM decals for a yellow wing pre-war aircraft and foiled fuselage. 1/32 Tornado F.3. Using the Revell kit, Heritage F.3 conversion, Avionix cockpit and custom masks from AdAstra for the Firebirds Anniversary F.3 with the flaming tail. So, over to you guys. I plan to start the kit in a week or two which should be long enough for a vote or two.

KOTR Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 My vote goes to the Tornado F.3... ...a very graceful machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The Dauntless of course Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz826 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I vote Dauntless as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 If you could get decals for "Beech Buggy" or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the Harrier, that would be pretty cool. They were in Belize when Guatemala threatened war (with T-33's) in about 1976. That would be an interesting subject. On the other hand Yellow Wings are just too amazingly, so the Dauntless would be my choice. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 oh man - it has to be the SBD.. the Harriers might be too hard to just get back in the seat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantastic Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 My vote is for the Tornado F-3 too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 1/32 SBD 1/2 Dauntless. Using the Trumpeter kit and AM decals for a yellow wing pre-war aircraft and foiled fuselage. Anything to do with my love of foil gets my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Go Dauntless, one of Trumpy's best kits and Yellow Wings has great decals. I think it would be a much more enjoyable build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 My vote is for the FRS.1 Sea Harrier, YOWZA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Go Dauntless, one of Trumpy's best kits and Yellow Wings has great decals. I think it would be a much more enjoyable build. I will second that vote, and I have used the Yellow Wings decals for Operation Torch, very very nice decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'd say the SBD would be the best choice to get back into things. One thing to note - the fuselages of the yellow winged birds were not natural metal, but aluminum dope lacquer A340 Pilot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I had a builder's block a few years ago and the Trumpy SBD 1/2 pulled me through it. No foil needed. The fuselage was painted with Aluminum. For a prewar, yellow wing aircraft, cut off the armor plate above the pilots seat and paint the interior aluminum. This is a great kit, simple build and Jack will like the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi Steve, nice to see you here on LSP, welcome aboard. You'll soon realise that jet builders are in the minority here so to redress the balance, I vote for any kerosene burner To be a little more helpful, go with the Tornado. That scheme looks cool. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
