Admiral Puff Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Can I come to the party please? Probably with a Sunderland - if Alan doesn't do Dudley Marrows' one, I will, otherwise it will be a 10RAAF one. I may also try to squeeze in a Whitley.

Robert Stuart Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hosts - we'll need hosts Dazdot has already volunteered. I'll take a tentative step forward, I've never hosted a build before Any other volunteers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Usually 2 is the number of hosts required, though the more the merrier. I will be having a go with my first co-hosting gig in the middle of the year with the Airliners GB. So if this one gets up I will put my hand up as well to help host.

raptormodeller Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I'd be interested in joining this one. But, with my lack of MRA/MRR kits would whiffing/modding my unfinished Vulcan into a MRA.3 variant be within the rules? Edit: My Vulcan is about at 90% complete and my lack of correct chemicals to melt the glue means I A. buy that super melting chemical. B. Find extra hobby £ to but a Nimrod (that would be my choice) Edited January 11, 2016 by raptormodeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'd be up for this too please - probably something Spanish Civil War. As an aside, do you think it's time to ditch the pre 2015 posts? Starting at the beginning it took me a really long time to realise that this was no longer just a Coastal Command proposal (notwithstanding the title!).

Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This GB now has enough nominations and co-hosts to qualify it for the 2017 poll. The poll will take place on November. That seems a long time in the future, but it will be upon us sooner than we expect. So, I would recommend that the co-hosts keep the discussion going to maintain interest up to November. In the meantime, I have edited the title of the thread to remind me that the GB has qualified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does sound interesting. I personally don't have the authority to delete other people's posts - !'m not sure I can even delete my own! What we can do is ask Dazdot to post in the rules for the build when they are finalised. Regarding rules, my own thinking is: The build is essentially for any Maritime Patrol or Coastal Command aircraft Any time period Any nationality Any scale No what-ifs Otherwise normal rules apply 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I can change the thread title if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks Enzo, but, I don't think the issue is with the title. I can undrstand CliffB's issue with the number of posts in this thread, but I feel that deleting other people's posts might cause more problems than it would solve.

Learstang Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Add me in - my Lancaster and Liberator are too far built to qualify, but I could scrounge up some Soviet maritime aircraft - a Beriev MBR-2 anyone? And the Il-2 was used by naval units for anti-shipping duties. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Given I'm now building a couple of Coastal Command Beaufighters for the Made in GB GB the Mosquito will be my next choice for this one; either a Banff VI or XVIII 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi Robert, Count me in please, probably looking to build a Beaufighter or a Hudson, looking into the stash. I have been looking at a Sunderland, but never quite got around to spending the cash so far.... Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hello to the host and co-hosts! I've just spotted this after quite possibly the longest gestation period of any GB. I'm in too with this one and it's given me a real goal to start (and hopefully finish!) the jewel in my stash. Who's going to volunteer to do a WNW Felixtowe? (Don't look at me ...) Me, me!

snapper_city Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is this just British maritime patrol / coastal command or worldwide? Is this aircraft only or floaty things also. Sorry if this has been discussed within the thread. I only have time to read post #1 on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 {snip}Regarding rules, my own thinking is: The build is essentially for any Maritime Patrol or Coastal Command aircraft Any time period Any nationality Any scale No what-ifs Otherwise normal rules apply Is this just British maritime patrol / coastal command or worldwide? World wide, we hope to have a Ju88 and either and He59 or He60 from the Spanish Civil war. Is this aircraft only or floaty things also. What did you have in mind? The term "Maritime Patrol" is not limited to flappy things, and we might be able to make a suitable change to my suggested rules (above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
