Bump Time

Great photo subjects Jessica!
Never seen a 747 water bomber before.

Yeah! What the heck? I'm no water bomber pilot, but exactly how low can they go with that? Desperate times...
-Sean H.

pretty low!
THere are DC-10s too -

According to Wikipedia, it could do its attacks while flying at a height of 400 to 800 feet (120–240 m), at approximately 140 kn (260 km/h, 160 mph), configured as if it were on approach for landing.

Evergreen's marketing video:


So far the concept hasn't really taken off compared to aircraft such as the Martin Mars or C-130. It got used a few years ago in Isreal, and there are still plans to convert a newer 747 but it's limited in its close-quarters maneuvering. I wouldn't want to fight a fire in the mountains with it, but in flatter areas, and fires a long way from the base it has some use.

The DC-10 is a bit more realistic, and there are also several BAe 146s which have been converted recently which are much more realistic than a 747.

Thanks Jessica
I watched the Evergreen video! This will be in demand more it seems with all the droughts around North America
Good subject for a future campaign.

Hi,

just a question to be sure i did not misunderstand the subject: Can it be a single civilian figure without any vehicle ?

I planed to sculpt and scratch-build this pic, called "Anti-gaz pram" , is it OK ?



cheers

I don't see any guns on it.
And a pram ("baby buggy", where I grew up) is certainly a vehicle.

I think a figure, even without a vehicle would be a valid entry, the rule says "Any model of any scale and any type"

Jonathan you nailed it!
Build away!

Hi,

OK, thanks for the answers, so i'm to my tools !

Bump Time!

Lets all meet up in Fiji

Send me the air fair and I'll see you there!

More food for thought!

Greetings everyone!
How about this military truck

converted into this one


Or it is not military enough?

As long as the model is built as used in civilian use it would be welcome!

Nice! Im in

Count me in. I have an Accurate Miniatures Super Corsair air racer that I have really been wanting to build.


Best wishes,

Ian

Welcome to the campaign Ian!

Just enlisted. I will have to find a subject. Have a few in my stash.

I would like to join in. I will probably build an AMT 1/48 scale Stinson Reliant, though a 1/48 Lockheed Vegaa is possible too.

Welcome to the campaign Darrell and Richard.

Hey guys,

Not sure about this one but I'll ask anyway... I have acquired a Tamiya Ferrari 312T3 in 1/20th, it's civilian alright but I haven't seen a lot of cars (or race cars!) so far, so just curious if this would be acceptable.

Thanks,

Christian
