I've got a few things to do around the new house, probably going to take the rest of the summer to do it, plus work has suddenly dumped on me and I've got a big project to work on which is going to take a month to do. Which means what I have to do around the property will have to take a back seat for a while, got to pay the bills you know Laughing

I've never done a GB before. I'd like to have a bash!

Hi broadside, they are fun (but keep in mind I've only ever done one myself) What we have to do is pick a subject, some people like to do one particular aircraft, say a Spitfire, then we all do a Spitfire. On the ATF forum they only allow models made by Airfix for their GB's (it is after all "the" Airfix forum, recommended by Airfix themselves) but I don't think we need to be so restrictive. I think we should do an 'any scale' type of GB but still pick a particulat subject. It doesn't have to be just aircraft either, although I don't have anything else in my stash.

What we need to do is have some suggestions and then let whoever who wants to join in have a vote to what we'll do. How does that sound/

Why do I feel like I'm walking the plank a bit here? Wink

Ok, I'll throw a few in:
French air force. Any era - no particular reason.
Spitfires - because I would have married one if I could have.
US aircraft in RAF/RN service - we've probably got something in our stashes to fit.
I could probably think of some more given some more beer, sorry, time. Spinning

cheers
