Spitfire versus Bf109? MiG-15 versus Sabre? Stuka versus T-34? Martians versus humans? Any pair of 1/144-scale items that were pitted against each other in mortal combat are fair game. Get those creative juices flowing ...
Runs from 7 May 2016 to 17 July 2016.
Ok, I haven't technically started building the Wirraway prior to the start date of the GB but I did start making the pieces to make the master for casting in a mold prior to the start!
First casting and assembly started from Saturday.
It really is hard to take pictures of very...

Here are two pictures of the plane's artwork from the post war rebuild.

I am suspicious about the 'dragon on wheels' as I think that is just someone's best guess' as to what the artwork is.
Here's my entry into the GB. I didn't think I'd have a chance of finishing two models in the same round, but oddly my most busy time at work seemed to coincide with one of my most productive bursts of model building. Not quite sure how that happened, but best put it down for a...

Absolutely wonderful creations! Envy meter in overdrive! :mrgreen:
My topic is F-8 crusader vs MiG-17 over Viet Nam.
There is an Osprey Duel book on this subject. I just ordered the book, hope to have it by the weekend.

This Entex pocket pak kit is pretty old, late 1970s, I guess.

I got a couple of vigilantes on the go from many years ago, paused in exactly the same stage! I ordered the Retrokit cockpit set so that might get me going on them when I do dig them out.
Started the Revell F-14A - will be finished in Iran markings - at primer stage:

And the Revell F-16A - to be finished in Israel markings. Nose of Revell kit seems too short - added a 1mm filler. Also added some extra lumps and bumps specific to the Israeli...

Hi,
Here's the Slovak Mig vs an F-16 Aggressor. Finished the Aggressor earlier, but thought these looked pretty cool together!
Looking close-up, it seems I need to do some dusting!
I have actually started the Hawk75 which is a conversion of the AFV P-40B.
I copied and cast the engine and nacelle from the Hwerke 3D printed Hawk prior to the group build starting as seen here:
But only grafted it onto the AFV kit this weekend.
Thanks to the group build it...
I am out of the blocks early with this one. Zvesda's wargaming early model Il-2 Sturmovik vs the Sweet Model Co Me109F in winter guise. Both will be completed as winter aircraft as notes end of 1941 or so. The Zvesda plane will be generically camoed and then a...

Those are lovely Ian.
That work you do with the white wash and such quite magical. :shock:
OK, first things first. Briefly, I looked at the following possibilities ...

Looks good. You should be happy with that, I would be. :D Good stuff Greg :mrgreen:
Hi all,

Sunderland v S-100 Schnellboot (F-toys v de Agostini detailed with PE ),
He51 v I-16 or I-15 (Shapeways He51 v probably a...

The TFX versus Fw190A-8 was one of the later Airfix combinations in 1/72. Definitely a good choice.
Lots of interesting pairings in your list, but this one I'd most like to see! Never built a Zero? How is this possible? :shock:
The other half of my F-8 vs Mig17, the Attack/JACH MiG 17F

This is a beautifully made model kit

The worst part about that decal sheet is now I want four more so I can build the whole collection! And I dont want to collect MiGs right now.
