The Next A/CAM Challenge Build

Ray, correct me if I am wrong, the minute you slap military markings on the 125 it would not be eligible for the civil category?

Don't panic. I wasn't gonna enter it in that category. I'm well aware of what can and can't be *cue thumbs up emoji*

I don't just build to win trophies you know. I can build for myself

I must admit, I would love to see you do an Argentine Navy HS-125, regardless of what category it ended up in. This particular HS-125 looks lovely in the Argy scheme.....and she is an honest-to-goodness, true-blue warbird!!!

I've looked up some photos of VH-CAO, the DCA HS-125, and it looks as though it would be fairly simple to do. Am I correct in remembering that somebody in this group was working on some decals for it but put them aside as being too complex? If so, I will be interested in looking as what got done along those lines. I see also that the Welsh Models 1/144 HS-125 early version I have has Qantas decals. I also have some nice Model Alliance decals for a late model RAF HS-125. But TOR has to count up the votes and I have to get this NAC 737-200 done first. (By the way, I have a very fond spot for VH-CAO as it's the first aeroplane I flew in - working for DCA at the time.)

Fairly eventful history that one :

No panicking here Paul, just confused. The old brain cells seem to be deteriorating at an exponential rate lately.

I hope I can remember the way to Melbourne for Expo next year!

Well....looks like the 1:72 Airfix and/or Matchbox HS-125 has won the coveted subject matter-of-choice for the next A/CAM Challenge Build.
I will be posting a formal thread for this Challenge Build shortly, (along the same lines as the current one).
The reason I am commencing this one somewhat early is because it may take some time for planned participants to source the kits and decals they will need for this particular Challenge Build.

How would a 1/32 HS-125 fit into this theme? Asking for a friend...

Now watch as we all artificially raise the price of 1/72 HS 125s lol. One year we have to all do the largest airliner kit possible, like the 1/125 DC-10. Imagine 20 of those on the tables lol.
