Well I think its time for a bit of Night-fighting ....Im up for starting the 1/32 He-219 and after seeing that very large blue box that John had under his arm on Sunday I may not be the only one :lol:

I hope I'll be back in an aircraft frame of mind by the time this GB starts. If so, it's a toss-up between a B-17 and a Lancaster. Time for my first bash at a four engined bomber, I think.

Bags of choice for this one and after a quick browse it would seem sack fulls of decals.
Can't wait to see a 219 in progress.
Trying to keep the builds sourced from stash it is likely going to be the p-51d or Spad XIII.

Not too sure at the moment Andy, I was trying to concentrate on Bombers this year but not exclusively so.

As I am being a little indecisive on this I may pull out my qualifying kits and put it too the vote as to what to build.

Ok I've raided my stash and from what I can see these are the ones i have that fit the criteria for this GB.

Anyone have any preferences?

Please note I build virtually OOB so I won't be conducting any major surgery.

I'd like to see either or both of the B17's as I have an unfinished one on the shelf.

Just a gentle reminder to everyone that the subject needs to have operated in German airspace during time of war. To my mind that's one of these:
- Based in Germany
- Attacked ground targets in Germany
- Engaged in interception/escort missions over Germany
- Engaged in transport missions to/from/over Germany
- Transited German airspace during a mission

I may have missed something..?

Not saying anyone's not complying, just clarifying the GB parameters. ;)

Not to be an awkward twonk, but are we counting the cold war as a war despite the lack of ordnance exchanged?

I'm not directing this at anybody in particular, but one of the things I've always found amusing about setting up a GB is how would-be participants immediately test the parameters to the max! When this one was set up I personally held the assumption that it meant in times of overt hostilities but I wondered if anybody might suggest the Cold War. I'd suggest that we limit this one to the two world wars where people were firing at each other with deadly intent, although to be honest the number of WWI subjects kitted by Revell that fit the criteria are probably very few in number - one or two?

I agree totally with peebeep, hot wars only, not cold war.

As for the V2, I'm fine with that. It tests the dictionary definition of 'aircraft' maybe (depending on the dictionary) but I feel it's within the spirit of the GB. And let's face it, it's not the sort of thing that gets much of a look-in in most GBs.

The Revell V2 is actually not a bad build, although flash on the Meillerwagen parts tested my patience somewhat. There's a build thread here.

I've got another one to do some time, but not the Revell, it's a Condor V-2 and Special Armour road trailer.

After consideration I have made a decision. Rather than being based in the best kit, because it has been much maligned and criticised (justifiably most likely) I'm going to make the Halifax and given the scope of the GB it will be the "Rhur Valley Express" version.

1st April is here, so this build is now active! Three Allied heavy bombers so far, any Reich defenders out there? :box:

Dependent on how the Halifax goes I was thinking of making the Ju290 as well :hmm:

It would help if I could shake off this man flu :weep:

Change of plan from this as my modelling time is going to be quite limited for the next few months. I now intend to do the good old 1/72 scale Me 262 A-1a.
