Hi everyone. Hosts build here. Just a place holder until I can upload the photos when I get home from work. I've decided to go with a WHIFFY and a pirate themed build. I'm going to build an aircraft from Strike Fighter Squadron 103 United States navy.

Anyone and everyone is welcome

I'm thinking it is going to be 25+ so far, maybe more

yes all allowed

Hi everyone. Only twelve days to go until the GB starts and I've got some great news on the prizes for the GB I've discussed this with Russ @JadlamRacingModels today and the prizes will be awarded in a 1st, 2nd and 3rd format. First prize will be the new Revell Battle of Britain gift set. This also includes the brand new JU-88 A-1 kit in 1/72 scale plus kits of a Spitfire, Hurricane and Ju-87 in the box. Second prize is the new Revell 1/48 Farewell Tornado GR.4 kit And finally third prize is the Revell 1/72 Eurofighter RAF British Legends edition. This works out at just over £75 worth of prizes for the GB and will hopefully encourage more people to take part. If anyone still needs the Revell 1/72 Hawk Jadlam still have them available for £8.95 including UK post. I hope everyone likes this update

I've had a few emails from people asking if they can join the GB. Anyone can join regardless. We just need an initial amount for the GB to go ahead which we had within a couple of days. I think we are going to see upwards of 30 builds here potentially now. Looking forward to it but the more the Better

Day after double rewards finished Russ !!!

Hi everyone I think Jadlam are out of stock at the moment of the Hawk and getting some more in very quickly, Rus said about another 24 kits on route @JadlamRacingModels

As long as everything is attached to that revell hawk then use that artistic licence to do what ever you want!!

Something else to share here too https://www.facebook.com/119346574817828/posts/3338925949526525/

Absolutely. Just title her build in the gallery when you upload it Of course you can. Anyone is welcome to join in

So looks like the Revell 1/72 Hawk. I'll have a chat with Jadlam today and see what we can sort out then provisionally put together everything for the GB start date

I've come up with a set of rules for the GB for when the Subject is decided. I'm going to list these below. * GB will run for six weeks from the 31st of October to the 14th of December. * This GB will be based on the (Kit once chosen) * After marker parts and decals are all permitted * With the aim of the GB being creative we will allow "what Ifs" The reason for this is to allow the builder some creative licence. Something we didn't permit in the last GB but want to add to this one. * The GB is going to be sponsored by Jadlam Racing Models who will be providing a prize of which is TBC. * Anyone that requires the kit that we are building can order the kit directly from Jadlam at a discounted price * The voting system will not be in place and instead the sponsor will be choosing the winning build/s This is a rough set up but provisional and subject to change

Well, at the moment the Hawk is winning, Voting closes at 23:30 on Monday evening

What I could add is a upper floor limit of 1960 for those older that 60 where you can build a kit that was produced in 1960. due to limitation finding a kit pre 1950s

Hi everyone I wanted to try and put together another GB and been trying to think outside the box for an idea I've not seen, a different style of theme. Model kits have been around for 70 years plus and we are possibly very close to the fact that some kits have been produced before most people were born. What I want to suggest is a GB where you need to build a kit that was first tooled before you were born, IE the kit is older than me. I'll use myself as example, I was born in the early 80s so I would need to find a kit that was first produced before that time. I know getting hold of some kits for some of the older generation might be hard but their is also the reboxes of the older kits which can be used, take airfix classics as an example for some of the older people. Also in order to protect peoples data, you don't need to disclose your ages unless you wish to on the post but the kit What do you think? To cater for the older generation they can build kits from the decade they were born (1950s) as some older kits can be difficult to get hold of unless re-issued

my error chaps, will change it

Hi everyone, Poll is up here

Hi guys, this is the poll for the Surprise GB with Sponsorship, This year!!! sponsored by Jadlam Racing models. I've had to start a new topic as I can't add the poll to the original post.

OK. I think we've had enough suggestions now, so tonight or tomorrow morning I'll get the poll up for the choice on kit. The poll will be quite short in order to give people time to sort out the kit and any aftermarket they need.

I've just tried to find extra decal options and could find none apart from discontinued ones for the dominie

I've sure Jadlam can put a little note in the box that says "congratulations on your competition win, here is your prize"

Hey everyone What about the 1/72 Airfix Tiger Moth? https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/airfix-a02106-dehavilland-tiger-moth-1-72-aircraft-model-kit/ Now there are massive amount of different decal schemes available and the kit comes with two sets of markings for those that want to stay OOB

This is only one idea and i'm still going to put it to a vote. I need more ideas and once a kit has three people suggest it I'll put it on the poll
