vppelt68 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Tied 9th actually, and that'd be enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Now have the kit and decals to do one of the Hawker Hurricanes funded by Lady MacRobert that fought in North Africa and fully intend to do it next year as a matter of some urgency. If you all wish to know the reasons for this urgency and join in working on any of the many other interesting subjects that served with this theater of war please vote for this GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEMPESTMK5 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks to Enzo this Gb will take place next year .. Thanks for the support of all modellers interested .. I am already planning my build(s) .. Best regards Patrice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre_days Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 19 minutes ago, TEMPESTMK5 said: I am already planning my build(s) .. Likewise. In my case, the Sword P-40K "2 in 1" kit with markings for "Stocky" Edwards' aircraft assembled from generic Xtradecal sheets and a 57th FG USAAF machine from the DP Casper "Forgotten Operations" sheet for Operation Flax. If I finish those with time to spare, I might have a go at the Bf.109F I meant to build in this year's Bf.109 STGB that I didn't have time to participate in, and/or an MC.202. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotDaMama Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Woo! No planes this time, we tried that and failed miserably. This time, it's tanks! Tiger 131 for me, the good old Tamiya version methinks. If I get it done quickly enough then I have a Panzer III H lurking under my desk that will get attacked too. At least this time I'll know the paint will do what I want it to, instead of that last debacle... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I just hope we didn't celebrate too early... Though there'll be PLENTY of other GB:s to invade and conquer with MTO subjects, in the STGB:s too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can’t wait for this one, I may do Roal Dahl’s Greece Hurricane, or a Spit from Malta, or an afv.... so many choices. Did I mention I can’t wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling very well, I feel your pain I have a Frightning fron the Blitzbuild GB that was still tacky after a year. Since moving to Sovereign's enamel I've had NO issues at all. EDIT: I gratitude for Enzo's magnificent handling of the Poll I suggest we nominate him as Patrician Lord Enzo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Something Luftwaffe North Afrika or Italian campaign or even Italian Folgore which I really want to do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've just finished reading SAS ghost patrol, a book about the LRDG and an outfit called the SIG. It was about the raid on Tobruk, so staying with my desert theme builds. I will be doing a Tamyia cheviot with some other bits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm stash raiding for this one(stash?=half dozen kit's) Airfix's Heinkel 111 H6 fortunately has a North african scheme,I have a Vista Fulmar too which would be anice addition to in Torch marking's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Airfix kit also has decals and weapons for the KG 26 torpedo bomber from Sicily in 1941 - very much eligible option for an MTO GB too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone brave enough to tackle an me323 ? Plenty of these saw action trying to keep Rommel supplied. And before you ask, I have already got my Build lined up, which is the finish my French flying boat from the original MTO GB Cheers Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks Pat, that's a good idea. And got me thinking about this: "The usual 25% rule is in effect, EXCEPT regarding builds started but unfinished/stalled in the original MTO GB". Although I don't know if any such builds exist... But, if a build has a build thread started "back then", it's eligible . Best regards, V-P 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, V-P Hi V-P I will attach the original build thread when we start but, it's got photobucket issues, so will need to be converted to Flickr for the pictures. From memory there was a few stalled builds in original MTO GB, perhaps our host is reminding them as we speak to bring them back in this GB. For example we had the "Anson in an Armani suit" better known as the Caproni Ca314. Great looking aircraft but struth that's a lot of glazing to mask up cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nah, we don't need to be that official... Though a link is a nice bonus. I'm very much picless myself regarding my older build threads. I'm afraid / I hope that most of the non-finishers are actually finished by now anyway.

Giorgio N Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 While I wasn't one of the original supporters of this GB, I will sure take part. As I did in the original MTO GB, I'll build something Italian, yet to decide if a G.50, an MC.200 or else. I also have a Caproni Vizzola F.5 in the stash, a type that saw service in small numbers in the defence of Rome, this may be another good and unusual option 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre_days Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) I still plan on attempting the P-40 duo for this GB, and I would like to get in the MC.202 as well, but something struck me after my initial knee-jerk "default to aircraft" response: Both of my grandfathers served in Italy during World War II, one in the U.S. Army and one in the Canadian Army. Neither one of them was in a particularly vehicle-centric role (they were an Army Corps of Engineers mapmaker and a film projectionist in the YMCA entertainment division, respectively), but I happen to have Tamiya's 1:35 Willys Jeep and Universal Carrier Mk. II in my stash. I figure those were ubiquitous enough vehicles that their paths must have crossed with my grandfathers' at least a few times...
