Well given my Canberra is a bust before it even got going I need something else to build, only thing I can think of on local shelves is an italeri f-84g, not sure I fancy a nmf build though.......

Remember we are working from late '45 onwards here Stu so anything involved then is good including Spitfires, Tempests, Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Meteors, Avia S-92...

Forgot the 40s also count, I’ll keep looking though I am considering the firedog beuafighter in the same colours as the Canberra that’s obviously outside of this GBs scope now....

Oooh! I picked up a PR46/47 from the Post Office yesterday, maybe its time for a prop thingy for a change?

Hmm. I shall let the paint stock decide I reckon.

There's a few being built in this GB and the 60s edition that will be worth having a look at as a few minor fit issues have come to light ;)

We now have a month remaining of our GB gang. There's a good selection of finished models in the gallery, 28 at my count, plus plenty more getting close to finished. Anyone else up for a last-minute project?

This edition of our theme will have seen it run from the 80s right back to late 45 but is anyone up for a 90s edition?

I've got a Farmer that may try to get out of the box yet.

 

And you know I'd be down for a '90s...even though I always seem to be strapped for time.  🙄

Got a space cleared on the bench and also stumbled across some reference material I had picked up from a local used bookstore a while back that I had forgotten about.  😅

Good thing I went and double checked the dates...I don't think I'd be able to satisfactorily complete the MiG-19/S-105 in time.  My brain was thinking end of May...not in 2 weeks.  😅

 

I've got a 1/72 Meteor PR Mk.10 & a 1/72 Vampire FB.52 in the stash w/ applicable decals in the box.  I'll have to take a closer look (and dry fit) of some of the parts and see if I can realistically toss one together in a couple weeks w/ my limited free time.

A pity we won't see your MiG-19/S-105 here but the Meteor or Vampire are equaly welcome if you do decide to go with one of them.

Yeah, it's going to take a fair bit of work.  The fit of the fuselage wasn't the greatest, plus the pit is actually designed for the Trumpy kit which means there is going to be a bunch more fiddling around there.  I would probably need to be on vacation the next 2 weeks, not working 65-75 hours a week right now.

 

I think I'm going to take a crack at building a Finnish Vamp.  Fit up looks fair, and doesn't appear to be a very complicated kit.

Less than 36 hours to go!  😬

Approaching 27hrs now :( 

Look on the bright side though gang, we could have the chance to revisit this theme soon with the 90s edition if it gets enough names and goes through the November vote ;) 

 

Go on, you know you want to :D
