Welcome and Rules

[trickyrich]

Well doesn’t time fly, it seems like only a couple of weeks since the last GB I hosted….   , anyway welcome to the Bell P-39 Airacobra/P-63 Kingcobra STGB.  Wow it's been ages since this build was proposed!

 

Ok this should be really simple and straight forward, the STGB will cover all types of this/these aircraft, military and civil (racing), plus any of the flying prototypes.

  

For the actual rules, nice and simple and pretty much the usual:

 

·      The Group Build will run from 00:01GMT Saturday 25thAugust to 23:59GMT 25thNovember.

 

·      The model can be any scale, but sorry no snap-tight models. Aftermarket stuff, as much as you’d like!

 

·      All models must be less than 25% complete at the start of the build, if in doubt please ask.

 

·      All builds must have a WIP thread showing progress, models cannot go into the gallery unless there is a build thread for them. Please remember only 5 photos go into the gallery, or you may be asked to remove the extras.

 

·      No buying/wanted or selling in the GB please, there is a buying and selling section in Britmodeller for this!

 

·      There will be polls to vote for your favourite builds at the end of the GB, but please do not canvas for votes.**

 

·      Only versions that actually flew and colour schemes that were used will be allowed, so no Whif’s please. For the racing aircraft, if you can provide details or pictures of the aircraft you want to build, that flew, then that’s fine. If you’re unsure them please just ask.

 

·      Please be polite and constrictive with your comments to member’s builds and no arguments please and no rivet counting either please!

 

** For the final vote, if there are sufficient numbers (say 5 or more) of P-63 Kingcobra’s, I then might break the poll into the two types? Let me know what you think.

 

As always at the end of the day it’s all about having fun and enjoying the build no matter what your modelling skills. Those new to GB’s please feel free to ask for help if you need it, there are always plenty of members happy to help out.

 

So good luck to everyone and I do look forward to seeing all your builds in the galley.
