Game Nr4

Good start, but some players forgot to give one of the requested informations -mostly, the scale- thus rending invalid their answer (not taken into account), an other person answered before 18:30 on the first day (same result: not taken into account). Many chose to keep their answer for day one until the last moment (before 18:30 today) so they may get two sets of information on day one, which is valid.

We have launched a new AZUR-FRROM project (release Q1 or Q2 2024). The goal of the game is to guess what will be this project (kit of an aircraft, in injected plastic). To win, you will have to indicate :

  • the aircraft designer (= manufacturer)
  • the aircraft exact type

  • the kit scale

We will give every day additional information on the plane or the kits (three clues each day, with a bonus on first day, so it might be quite fast), we will request the few people who have inside knowledge not to participate and not to give the information to their friends (staff from Special Hobby group are not allowed to participate).

Winners :

  • we will inform the winners after the game is over, and ship the kits when ready.
  • Rest of the World: Florin Buharu, Wednesday 16:32
  • France: Stéphane Chaperon,  Wednesday 18:35
  • CZ Republic: David Hényk, Wednesday 19:55
  • Game Over: Douglas DB-7 1/72 nd                         (code : FR0052)
  • We will  put the new page in place, with photos of the box art and moulds: fuselage, wings ... yes - SH is working now on the third mould (large sprue for small parts), the fourth (small sprue) and clear parts
  • Next time, we will change the Geos (France, Rest of the Word and probably UK)

Information and clues :     ( SORRY - a bit late)

  • D1
  • D1.1 The aircraft was part of a family that has been produced at more than a thousand units, and took part in a major conflict. The aircraft type was the first of the family in war operations
  • D1.2 The model has already been produced in our scale, in injected plastic, over ten years ago, according to Scalemates. We will propose ONE box of 1,000 units. 
  • D1.3 Wingspan: over 14 m, under 22 m
  • D1.4 Bonus : the aircraft wore at least three different roundels
  • D1.5 Bonus Bis : this is not a 1/48 th Coléoptére, nor a 1/48 th Vulcan, nor a Spitfire

D2

  • D2.1 According to Scalemates, this kit was never produced in injected, in 1/48 th scale. Our kit will use new moulds.
  • D2.2 The prototype crashed on the ground during a demonstration flight, but the aircraft was nevertheless ordered.
  • D2.3 The aircraft operated with Pratt & Witney engines

You may for sure save your answer for one day and use it at end of the day,  between 18:00 and 18:30, but you should not have used it on that same "play day". The informations provided are true (but maybe misleading sometimes - the goal of the the game is NOT to have everybody winning on day one !)
