Col. Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 So long as we get the votes required to make it through I know we'll have a lot of fun with this GB. Remember that 12 May next year marks the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 One of us should make a C-54 out of chocolate and Wrigley's Doublemint gum in commemoration of "Operation Little Vittles". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd let you off using the Revell kit for a C-54 with the chocolate and Wrigley's as a display base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still plenty time left for the 60's edition if you are able to join in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) This potential GB must have been on my mind while we were away for a few days in Wales, I slipped the leash while SWMBO was looking at handbags and found myself in a little model shop and one of the Airfix 1/48 meteor F8 kits followed me outside 😲 "Haven't you got enough model kits?"............ "Haven't you got enough handbags?"....... followed by lunch and a couple of beers is how it went Need to research schemes and decals now, or build OOB with the yellow tail 🤔 Ian Edited September 14, 2018 by Redstaff spelling 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hot news gang. Not only have we made the cut for 2019 GB calendar but we also have a date; Sat 19 Jan to Sun 12 May. So a couple months to clear the bench and pick a subject 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Great news, glad the GB went through for next year. I've already decided on my build: an F-86K that I had planned for this year '60s GB but then found was not eligible. Who knows, I may even build another Sabre if I find the time...

Wez Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sadly those dates don't work for me as it's during my study period which was a shame as I planned to do a series of RAF Vampires from F.1 to FB.9 showing all of the colour schemes. I shall be an eager and interested spectator of this GB and wish you all luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these will look great together. Remember gang this one includes the period from post-war 1945 to 1959 as an added bonus so there's an extra 4 & 1/2 years of subjects to choose from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
