Not just good, but great news I believe I'll get to host two STGB:s next year, thank you, and of very different military aircraft they'll be - the beautiful Draken and the mighty Flying Fortress . V-P

Sorted! Just by pure luck you got the Union Jack - or was it luck or careful timing . The forum software doesn't know the flag of NATO, I tried to add that first Welcome! V-P

Achtung @Enzo Matrix we now have a co-host for this one as @Marklo has just been added to the staff . V-P

The idea of a host/co-host needing to be an expert on the subject of the GB, well...

The Ju 88 FTGB has so far not had a co-host. You're in there as a builder already, care to notch up to hosting duties too? I may not be the most typical host, and far from the best tutor... but the job is there for you to grab if you like it. V-P

Welcome and no worries Steve, still plenty of time before the take-off! I'm sure you wrote that "either-or" accidentally instead of "and" . V-P

Welcome! You got the flag of the Netherlands but as said earlier, they are there just to add colour . V-P

Thank you Enzo! V-P

...Just like the groups of Flying Fortresses grinding forward on those unescorted deep penetration raids to Reich airspace in 1943; imagine all that Jagdwaffe in the air, more and more Staffeln circling the bomber formations to gain altitude and then relentlessly attacking head on from twelve o'clock high... Oh, didn't anyone mention there's a B-17 STGB in the Bunfight

Oh, November is near again! Let there be blood

If you accept the later Marauder variants too, I'm interested... because there's a void in good short wing B-26 kits. V-P

My kit comes from this delicious Revell set https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-05794-us-legends-8th-air-force--237850

Yes, I have a P-47 kit in my stash so please add me to the list too . V-P

Damn, Rich, I'm glad to add you to the list, but the pre-membership machinery from any nation is not eligible... but check the "Neutrality etc GB" proposal, there a splintered Viggen would fit like a Volv... glove!
