Re: Civilian Vehicles GB 2024 ** On the 2024 Calendar!**
I've been eyeing up a couple of options but my daughter told me I wasn't allowed to buy anything. I wonder whether she's had a word with Santa.
It's only pain, work through it.

I may have to do a second build now that the SRN1 hovercraft has been re-released by Airfix just for old time sake!

Did we get a decision on FAB 1 being allowed in the end?
No worries if not allowed, I have plenty of other options... would an Aerosan be OK?

Re: Civilian Vehicles GB 2024 ** On the 2024 Calendar!**
Just a thought, there was a life size and roadworthy FAB 1 built in 1968 to publicise the film 'Thunderbird Six',(it carried an 'F' registration plate) it appeared on the TV show 'Blue Peter' and was later on display in Yorkshire at the Cars of the Stars Museum until it closed and is now in a museum in Florida. If any differences could be made to the model to represent the working replica would that be permitted ?

David, have you seen the life-sized replica? I have both in Kendall and then Miami. It's now in a museum here in Orlando. Much as I admire Anderson for having it built and I love FAB1,this is not a very good replica IMHO. Looks mishapen and clunky compared to the filming models.

David, no I have only seen pictures of the replica but I have not seen it for real. There are differences to the body and I believe it was based on a shortened coach chassis.

Lengthening/shortening chassis members is way above my pay grade!

Okay here's a question - I know this GB is an attempt to get away from aircraft, especially military aircraft, but would real Space Vehicles be allowed? I only ask as I have a Saturn V that I have an idea to build next year and I was wondering if this GB would be a fit. No worries if the answer is no btw, it's just me mulling things over.
