  1. Count me in. If this gets up I see a 1/72 190 with roundels in my future for 2022 (and means I can do captured aircraft across multiple GBs next year potentially. I see that as an absolute win!)
  2. Please include me in this. Being on deployment has severely curtailed my hobbying this year (I only had space to bring one kit with me (a mosquito which has been promised to a gentleman in NZ), Darn military equipment getting in the way of being able to pack model kits!) I'll be keen to make up for poor showing in the last 2 years of group builds by hopefully getting some models made when I get home in the new year. My build will no doubt be something in PRU Blue or from 100 Group.
  3. I’d be up for this a chance to get something big and British with 4 engines built.
  4. Count me in please. Have a few matchbox kits in the stash, but will have to try and track down something special for this as matchbox featured so heavily in my formative modelling years.
  5. Disappointingly haven’t been able to make a start yet. Set up In the new house though and have my hobby area ready and dug it out of the box it was hiding in. So will get it made (it’s has been promised). Will have to post in WIP if I can’t post progress here. Deploying soon with work. So if it’s not quite done when I go it may end up making a long distance trip to NZ from the Sinai!
  6. I’ve been waiting for this. Just have to wait until boxes get unpacked in the new house at the end of the week to find my mozzie for the ANZAC build and see what emerges from packing boxes first; PR Spitfire or Lysander to determine my entry for this build (an unscientific method but I’ll use it!)
  7. Nothing done yet unfortunately. I remain optimistic of getting/making time to work on it and getting it done between work, toddlers, moving house and studying before the GB ends (it has been promised to a gentleman from NZ after all once finished)
  8. Just arrived today. Hopefully these are of use. Looks very nice at first glance
  9. Was “in stock” at frontline hobbies here in Australia last night . I ordered two last night and now it’s showing them as “sold out” on the webpage. Curious to see if they get sent and turn up this week or if I get a refund...
  10. My January order from dear Uncle Hannants has arrived (at long last!). I finally have the bits I’ve been waiting on that will add a little extra to this build.
  11. ^ I too will be doing this. When it (eventually arrives) will be better to beg forgiveness then have asked permission for the purchase...
  12. Please sign me up. There’s options aplenty for something from ww2 from one of the RCAF 4xx squadrons
  13. Thank you. May need to sign up for a blitz build to see if I can replicate the crazy last few days. Luckily it’s the weekend and I think I’ll sleep well tonight (if I’m allowed to get to!) A few errors made in haste in this build, but still pleased with the end result (even if the wheels and a few bits look a bit odd!). I have a soft spot for the Met Squadrons/flights and have wanted to build a met gladiator for a while so thanks to the groupbuild I finally have one on the shelf!
  14. My take on the Gloster Gladiator. a rush job but got there in the end. im going to have nightmares about getting that top wing on and a bit silly to have put the undercarriage legs around the wrong way. Bugger. Still it looks like a Gladiator. Subject is N3209 of 1401 Met Flight. apart from that wing went together well and started and done in 24 and a bit hours. Thanks everyone.
  15. Calling her done only issue put the undercarriage around the wrong way🤦‍♂️ got there in the end! Ah well looks like a gladiator that’s the main thing. Still a lovely little kit to build. Thanks to the mods for the groupbuild for the trip (sprint!) down memory lane and thanks for sticking with me. Pictures for the gallery to go then time for bed (230am here!)
  16. time for a stiff drink then onto the decals
  17. hmm I think I overestimated how quickly glue dries... will see just how quickly I can do this tomorrow evening (once the kids and wife are asleep so I can work)
  18. Nothing like a deadline to get you motivated! approx 36 hours to deadline
  19. Not had a chance to get going on this. Have a cunning plan to get it done before the deadline. Once I get home from being away for work I have approx 48-72 hours to get it built. Watch this space! It’s not going to be my best work or possibly pretty but I plan on getting one heller gladiator built as promised!
  20. Sounds good. Sign me up I’m sure I’ve got some kits that have contributed to the excessive stash stashed throughout the house...
  21. Wow. Thank you for the motivation and comments @stevehnz and @rabbit leader. This build has a whole new level of relevance now. I will aim to do a good a job as I can as a tribute to the ANZAC crew.
