Procopius Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Are there any plans already to do an 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain GB, and if there aren't, is there any interest? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It sounds like a good idea. Some subjects get an automatic GB? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 With the moniker of ‘Rabbit Leader’ it would be silly not to take part, so I’ll play along as well if that’s ok. Looks like a great group of modellers already assembled and a fitting tribute to a huge turning point of the Second World War. I’m already thinking of an Anzac 1940 themed double build to honour both Australian and New Zealand pilots that took part. Good call P.C. Cheers.

dnl42 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If I'm going to do a Battle of Britain GB, it has to be here. I will be in with a 303 Squadron Hurricane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depressed lemur Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Count in the Lemur. In the interests of keeping things balanced I may do one from the other side. Can't be BoB if we all make RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin W Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think this would be a great idea. There are plenty of new mould Spitfires and Hurricanes about to get people interested. Makes me feel a bit old though as at the back of my cabinet I have an Airfix Anson built for the 40th Anniversary of the BoB with my then model club (ASVC) in the UK. We did a 6 months display in the Churchill precinct in Dudley. Its the oldest complete model I have in my collection. If I can find a Classic Airframes 1/48 I'll update it!
