A great effort all round everyone. We have 60 votes to date - a great number! We had 51 sign ups as at 1/11/25 - also a great number! I’ve managed to agree 14 votes from un-signed up members that are part of the 60 So, the maths means we still potentially have 5 signed up BMers that haven’t voted, or have opted not to take part. They’re prerogative, of course. Even so, at this stage we are in a great position. We mustn’t be complacent, though. It could still turn 180 degrees on us overnight. Well done all, Martin

Excellent Nick!!!! I look forward to seeing them progressing 🤞🤞

Fantastic, Martin

There are some great shots there, Giorgio. If the French GB goes ahead I reckon the MS475 will be my build

I bow to your better knowledge 😊

Absolutely, Wez.

Everyone to their own .

And if you are cut up about the lack of armour in the 2026 line up simply vote for my French GB and build the kit you’ve set aside, albeit in French marks, and ensuring it follows the brief

French F-100s in Djibouti had sharmouths too!

There are lots of potential unusual schemes within my GB

And you could build most of those things in my French GB! Space works, the worst kit works, long range four engine works, strings etc works, ground forces works, build a nice kit works and much more! The big plus is we would all be together, supporting each other in our builds So, if your proposal is lacking support why not shift to Les Francais de i’outre mer!,,,, 😉

You just need enough bandwidth Be brave, and give it a go!!!!!!!! You subject just needs to follow the GB “rules” Martin Vive la différence

For sure, Dave. I even sold all of my SP-2Hs and the OP-2E conversion . My live store, as opposed to the boxes of kits in the loft, are many Army Hobby F-51Ds, a Tamiya F4U-1D, Heller Etendard IVM with IVP conversion, Academy Super Etendard, Many Hasegawa F-104s, many Modelsvit Mirage IIIs (including M5 conversions), A SH Super Mystere B2, Eduard MiG-21bis, some Drakens (including a Sk35 conversion), and a few others. At my pace of build those should see me done! Although I have some Fine Molds F-104s on order and will get a Beaver when it is released.

I have thought about it, and even had three in my store, plus a B-57 (to build a B-57C) but I sold them. I just don’t have the space. I’m sticking with various Mirages and F-104s for now
