![]() 6086 forum posts 2557 photos | I've just ordered the whole caboodle from Craig. When it arrives the box will stand next to the one with the Warbirds Spitfire in it, but I'll get there. I'm at home today and working on the Chipmunk. I've always wanted to do a CR42 but the Spanish Fury will do in the meantime. |

![]() 41 forum posts 6 photos | Trying not to seem too keen but absolutely fizzing at the bung to build this as its been the one and only scale model I've had any desire to build since I was 10 years old thought a bit about about posting this in case its embarrassing but decided to anyway as 53years old now and very hard to embarrass |

![]() 5151 forum posts 3761 photos | Hi Vince, its going to be a few months before this communal project starts. Can I suggest that perhaps you may want to build something in the interim to develop your building (and flying) skills. Perhaps one of the free plans from RCM&E. The Ballerina would be an excellent model IMHO. However, please do not start a diverse discussion here, have a look at the 2016 Mass build thread for ideas Best wishes Martyn |

![]() 41 forum posts 6 photos | Wasn't trying to start a diverse discussion but will finish my own design electric glider and join a club here in Victoria before even starting this build have only recently moved here from wa. Sorry for being so keen but for a first proper scale model I was looking forward for some help if needed and maybe be able to add some thing to the thread even if it just enthusiasm can't afford the wood pack but as Danny has said patterns are on the plan I will order it tomorrow when it gets here I'll have a look and go from there I'm not trying to start earlier than planned but as I said earlier I've wanted to build this since I was 10 years old plenty of time to accumulate materials and experience before the build starts can't promise I'll wait until October though |

![]() 3525 forum posts 1338 photos | You don't have to make any promises, Vince. But obviously, if you're looking forward to some help from the gurus around here, I would suggest you to wait for the 'common' Master Class to start. Plenty of time for you in between to sharpen up your building - and flying - skills. I've only ever build one model - Peter Miller's Ballerina - and it took a steep learning curve and sixteen months to see it finished. Of course using different materials - mainly Depron, ply & composites - than originally planned didn't make it 'easier'. Next will be a Svenson Vicomte with as much as scalish details as I can during next winter giving me another step forward. So, I can only second Martyn's advice to build something like a Ballerina in between. If you have been patiently waiting for over forty years, forteen months can't be that hard. Up to you of course, young man. @ Danny > Will your 'classroom' be large enough... ? Cheers Chris

![]() 5151 forum posts 3761 photos | Hi all A couple of points. We are currently getting 20% discount - this is on top of the current 20% off - ie a total saving of about 35%. The Traplet sale ends on the 31st July so stop prevaricating. Our 20% discount will still continue beyond July though. Just to be clear, the planned start date for this Scale Mass Build is October 2018 This is to allow time for those of us who have builds under way (I have 3 at the moment) to get them completed. So - the plan is: 1. We engage as many people as possible. Some may have to save money to buy the kit and other hardware 2. We discuss and procure the hardware needed. There are a few tricky bits in there - the wheels come to mind 3. We will create a new sub forum (like 'Chip Shop' ) , so looking for a catchy name 4. Mentally - start the problem solving - there are lots of things we need to do with this that will test all of us. You may have your own ideas, its as much about sharing ideas rather playing follow the leader 5. Its important that we all do start more or less together otherwise the concept of a mass build simply evaporates. Anyone who wants to go it alone, feel free to do so, its not a dictatorship, but we will all lose out if we go our separate ways. 6. Start collecting evidence for the aircraft you want to replicate. This can be very time consuming depending on the limited choices of prototypes still available for close inspection. In the meantime, have fun..
Martyn & Danny

![]() 9836 forum posts 4572 photos | This is a list of remaining Fury Hind etc and where they are. If anybody has any other info please let us know? Fury
Replicas
So the two that are accesible are at Duxford. If the model is for fun or light competition, then any documented scheme will do. I am still keeping my options open and including the Nimrod Cheers Danny
