International Scale Modeller

I brought up this idea in the GB poll thread and there was some interest so here it is:

Of the 3 GB slots up for grabs for 2017 the two that (so far) are in the lead happen to be:

Feline Fever - Any military Vehicle, AFV or Aircraft from any era and used in any arena with anything feline in its name - Wildcat/Hellcat/Lynx/Tiger/Panther/Leopard - you get the idea!

Warring Weather - Any model (inc civilian) with a type of weather in it's name - Lightning/Wirbelwind/Snow Cat/Hurricane/Typhoon/Thunderflash - you get the idea!

Now everyone knows the Lightnings, the Tigers, the Panthers, the Thunderbolts etc but I figured we could compile something of a list of related subjects to hopefully spark some ideas and add some more variety to the GBs. So here we are, if you can think of anything that would relate to either GB post it here and I'll try to keep the OP updated when possible

PS If anyone want's me to format by country or alphabetically or add links wo Wikipedia or something I can, if this get's large enough I may even need to create a spreadsheet.

PPS Spoiler tags would be great.

Various Supacat vehicles (Not sure if manufacturer counts)

Great idea, should provide plenty of variety if (when) these GBs go ahead. I have one to add to the Feline Fever at the moment - one that i'm tempted to build myself - the Sepecat Jaguar.

Yep. Great idea.

A few more.

Westland Whirlwind
English Electric Lightning.
Panavia Tornado.

Nice one

Add - Westland Lynx helicopter

How about the de Havilland Tiger Moth?

Saab Viggen (Viggen translates to Thunderbolt)

GuyMac wrote:Saab Viggen (Viggen translates to Thunderbolt)

Well, the English name for the SAAB 37 is Thunderbolt. The word "Viggen" translates to "the tufted duck", "vigg" is "tufted duck". Thunderbolt in Swedish is blixt.

But if it's allowed I'll definitely build one.

Would b-52 strato(sphere)fortress count? A bit tenuous I guess, lol!

F-35 Lightning II, I've got the Hasegawa 1/72 in the stash, might try the Academy kit as well. Might be the overlooked "lightning".

chief5437 wrote:Would b-52 strato(sphere)fortress count? A bit tenuous I guess, lol!

So cheeky...lol. That's a no

Been adding as we go, also added another category for ones I'm not sure about

What about the de Havilland Sea Vixen?

Typhoon class missile sub - if NATO names count. Too bad we don't know what the Russians call their equipment.

A vixen is a female fox, unless I'm mistaken.

Never was that great at biology.

This would give me an excuse to make a hawker typhoon super but underrated fighter bomber of WW2. 1/24 perhaps?

Hellcat and P38 Lightning for me.

Don't forget the Warring Weather GB includes civilian vehicles as well.

Ford Lightning
GMC Typhoon
GMC Syclone
Honda Hurricane
Jeep Hurricane (concept)
Chrysler Cirrus
Dodge Stratus
Plymouth Breeze
GEO Storm
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
Blizzard Snow Plows
Toyota Blizzard

VW diesels, too. Oh wait, that's just a sh*tstorm.

Ford Tempest
Mercury Cougar

The Macchi C.202 Folgore - Italian for "thunderbolt". Beautiful plane. And I have one!

Totally forgot about the 202. I've been wanting to build one for a while. Thunderbolt is a pretty popular aircraft name apparently...

Also added a couple more Italians and Germans that I just remembered/found out about

Would Nebelwerfers count in the Warring Weather group? They're generally referred to as Smoke Mortars but the literal translation is "Fog Thrower".

This would cover a whole range of armaments from the towed launcher arrays to the wurfrahmen mounted rockets on half-tracks.

There are a couple I thought of... don't know about kits of them tho.
VW Scirocco (a hot medi wind)
Mistral class amphibious assault ship (another medi wind)
Or what about this: The 2009 Tramontana R (guess what a tramontana is? )

Also found the Ocelot Armoured Vehicle for the feline GB. Would be an interesting scratch build... geddit?


We also have the Supacat, for one GB..


And the Zephyr for the other.

How about a Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun (typhoon)

Added the Taifun and others. Also added the Polish Grom class destroyers, Grom (Thunderbolt, yes another thing called that) and Blyskawica (Lightning flash). There's a few good looking kits of them

Did we ever get a yes/no on fictional aircraft for Warring Weather? Was thinking of either of these Thunderbolts:





If not, it's cool. Been itching to do a J2M3 Raiden for a while now. Just would like to know in advance as it could be 4-8 weeks for kits to get to me

Up to Lee or Paul I guess, maybe PM them? I have no official say eitherway (Though if I did it'd be open season on anything )

I've one suggestion for the Feline Fever GB, if admin allow it. Gripen (Gryphon/Griffon), body and legs of a Lion, head and wings of an Eagle. Allowable?

So is the Dassault Mirage in or not?

I would love to crack Into that italeri 1/32 box.
GG

For the feline build would the F21 lion be ok? its a kfir bought and used to simulate the mig 21aggressor by USAF

I would go for the GAZ Tiger (Russian Hummer) if ok. Otherwise a Leo.

So I was looking through my collection for some potential options for Warring Weather and I think fate has decided for me, as I uncovered four Revell 1:72 Panavia Tornado's in one go and all of them are German.

Macchi C.205 Veltro (Greyhound), Beautiful aircraft

Sd. Kfz. 164 Nashorn (Rhino)
Sd. Kfz. 184 Elefant
Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet)

About the SAAB 37 Viggen
Bird or Thunderbolt, You decide

I am new to ISM and am interested in the Feline Fever GB.

Quick question - will be depicting Kursk using Panther D and T34 - would this be allowed (as it diorama would also have a destroyed T34)?

Thanks

Mark

I don't see why not. To my knowledge it only has to contain something that qualifies, but can absolutely contain other things

That's a no on the macross stuff. Has to have been a real thing

Figured, building a J2M3 Raiden

Was the M-18 Hellcat mentioned (AFV)?
