John Thompson Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hmmm - these group builds seem to be addictive! I just finished my entry into the GPW GB which ends October 2 and already I've got the urge to join another one, even though the start date is likely to be sometime in 2018, if it gets approved! Â Please add my name to the list; I've got a Colibri decal sheet dedicated to Russian ace A.I. Pokryshkin that has a couple of P-39's on it, or I might instead tackle one of the Toko 1/72 P-63's I've got stashed away. Â John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016  what do you mean "addictive!!!!"  Just because my life revolves around the GB calendar doesn't mean I have a problem!!! It just means I'm almost organized.........until 2018 at the moment or will be once the 2017 GB voting is done!! Plus doesn't everyone have three...opps now 4 builds in a single GB!!!  Ok I admit I have a problem   ............ if I give up work I'll even have more time for GB's!!!    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 just giving this one a bit of a nudge!!!  We only need four more interested members and this one will be a go for 2018!!!!  So come on and join the fun! She's definitely not one of the prettiest aircraft ever built and she's not one the famous fighters or attack aircraft of the war either.  But she was an interesting aircraft that was used in most theatres in the war, and very successfully by the Russians!!  There are a nice range of models available in the 3 main scales as will as some really nice AM stuff as well.  Plus there were even a few racing version as well!!  So come on, we just need 4 more members!
