John Masters Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 How about this for fun Group Build...The Winter War/Continuation War. This build would include all types--aircraft, amor, soft-skinned vehicles, diorama, figures. I think it would be an excellent choice since it covers a longish time period, includes a vast array of equipment and pits two very mean adversaries (Finns and Soviets) against each other. What do you think? I imagine it might be too late for 2018, but one never knows...winter is coming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Definitely yes! You can certainly put my name down for this one, had a fascination for this topic for a long time. And I'm building a Finnish DO-17 for the Radial Engines Rock GB at the minute. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Who, me? Sure. I'm in too. I believe this could include German troops fighting on Finnish front too, like the Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey, Stug.Brg. 303 and 122. Inf.Div. that supported us in the summer of '44? And those FAA aircraft that attacked Petsamo in '41? And... You know, it's not just Fenno-Russian subject! Best regards, V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 That's right...the GB is open to all types of models and all examples of who was there, who fought, for whom and how...pretty broad palette. That's 6... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) That's great! Thanks Jack. I figure if we get enough for the second half of the year it'll mean my skills will have improved and I can really do justice to a build. That's 7... Edited October 12, 2017 by John D.C.

Valkyrie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Modeling Minion made me aware of this one with his awesome Finnish Dornier WIP. PLEASE include my vote, will likely be a Finnish fighter maybe a Dornier if skill set improves by time this comes round...I’m going decal and kit shopping now PS Great topic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wonderful! Thanks for the support! Tell all your friends on the other threads that doesn't have to be aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What’s the latest with this one? We many short? This has to make it, it would be a great one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yes...I think we need 20 or something like that to qualify and we only have 9... I am to sure how to advertise this, but I think we could get a lot of support from the armour/vehicles and diorama crowd... It's not all about aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
