As if I would not see enough bloodshed in the November horizon yet, but let´s pump this marvelous GB idea up and forward and into that bumfight too. Everybody loves an ace, right? V-P

I'm in. Who knows how many potential subjects I have? Mannock, McCudden, Guynemer, The Red Baron (Albatross or Fokker Dr.I), and probably a whole lot more from WWI alone.

So my list of top choices is down to these 1) Boyington, 2) R.S.Tuck, 3) Josef Pips Priller, 4) Adolph Malan, 5) Pat Pattle, 6) Clive R. Caldwell 7) Bobby Gibbes, 8 ) Leonard Kit Carson, 9) Dick Bong, 10) Charles Macdonald, 11) Adolf Galland, 12) Hans-Joachim Marseille, 12a) Walter Nowotny, and many others.

I have a wee question to ask.....would if be ok to build an aircraft flown by and Ace before he was an Ace???

 

As I am looking at getting GasPatch's Hs-123B1 with come with the scheme for Adolf Galland's aircraft. His first aerial victory didn't occur until 1940 over Belgium.

Oooh Good Question Rich ? I could do one of Prillers E-1’s from the pre-war period ? That can be a final note to my ongoing Priller build series.

It's not up to me but as I'm allowed to express my opinion, I think it would be kinda hard to limit the subject to only those machines used after the "acehood" was reached. Just think of those "aces in a day" who maybe never gained another victory with another aircraft/tank/etc after that and if you couldn't model The One in this GB? No... Btw,  in my opinion 10 aces each gaining 5 victories made a larger contribution to war effort than 1 ace with 50 victories! V-P
