United Colours of Aviation Group Build

Finnski

This group build will run between the end of Scale Model World and Christmas, ie from Monday 9th November to Thursday 24th December. Specs are as follows:
* Any type, any scale
* Any non-standard colour scheme worn by an aircraft at any time in a nation's history.
Non-standard includes:
Any Aerobatic scheme
Any test aircraft scheme
Drone and target aircraft schemes
'Zaps'
Commemorative schemes including disbandment/aircraft type leaving service schemes
In short, any scheme not used by an aircraft in regular squadron service.

This ought to give us a chance to indulge our feminine sides and knock out something eye-catching for christmas. Please sign up below.

I might as well kick it off - I will be making a Mig-21PF of the Indian Air Force 'Red Archers' display team, as shown below:

A colour scheme that is certainly festive, or as my younger relatives might say, 'gay'.

With SMW upon us, there's a possibility that potential new recruits to The Cause will be visiting this Forum. It'd be good if there was a new Group Build to get involved in.

Regards,
Bruce

Maybe I'll throw in a CL.215 as well, but that's only if I can find the time for that one.

Oops. I realised last nigh that my order from hannants was below the minimum order limit so I had to order it again. I bulked up the order with some supplies I needed and also bought this:

http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=AMU72013

I plan to do it if I have time. I hope it's allowed. It certainly is "any scheme not used by an aircraft in regular squadron service". I probably won't have time to do it anyway.

OK Finnski...I'll try to get it done: An air race modified P-51: "Red Baron" by High Planes Models. (BTW Airfixated...good luck with that Sukhoi.)

airfixated

When are we getting our forum? My planes haven't arrived yet Sad

. To be honest I really didn't expect them to. Hope to have them tomorrow or Wednesday. Thursday at the latest. Please Hannants don't screw up my order.

Sign me up. I would like to do my 1/144 Minicraft P47D in this scheme.

Not that colourful I guess but unusual.

All the best

Cool.
Please note that this GB will now start next Monday, the 16th, to allow people in post-Telford fugue to regain focus and plan/research builds. I will start putting individual build threads etc together at the weekend.
