But this is an Nordic GB and I think I have an Heller Viggen somewhere in the stash. And I knew for sure there is one or two P-51D Mustang's. Is it ok to join in albeit rather late?

Ok, we make a try with an Airfix 1/72 scale P-51D. Or as in Swedish - J26 Mustang "blå Kalle" (blue Kalle) from F4 at Frösön in orange exercise markings from 1951. It's always nice with colourfull Mustang's. https://www.rebell.com/svenskt/decals-masks/j26-mustang-del-1.html Cheers / André Edited April 4, 2020 by Andre B 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rui Silva Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Following a favourable comment by a Portuguese humourist in a night time radio show about Svalbard's "Arctic Outpost" digital radio emission of classic American music records "from 1902 to 1958" this remote Norwegian radio station is now so popular in Portugal that they had to upgrade the server; notice how many "Tugas" are tuned in, we are so 🤪!

Can I enter a picture of myself in the gallery or would it be discounted because there's no WIP? To be fair, I've not changed much in the four months of the GB but I have changed a lot in my 55 years on the planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 📢 OK right you lot!!!! We're not quite to the last lap but it's time to start pulling fingers out! We are now down to the 1 month to go bell!!! 🔔 No need to panic yet, I'll tell you when to do that, but we do need to get a move on with some of these builds. To those in the every expanding gallery, well done! To those who are nearing the end of their builds...one last push and she done. To those who are perpetually slow....and you know who they are....come on folks! ...and to those who have run away and hidden or have banished their builds to the shelf of Doom! Folks at this time of here there's always a chance of resurrection! Have faith in your host...you can complete you build! So come on, lets get to it and finish those builds....and remember I only have 4 weeks in purgatory or hosting to go! 15 hours ago, Wez said: More like 125%! me thinks you have been built, pulled apart and re-built many times.....though with a few bits missing in between! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Thanks for the heads up @trickyrich, and quite the motivational speech there! I still have a lot to do but deadlines getting nearer tend to provide enough focus so I'm sure mine will end up in the gallery! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 someone who shall remain nameless (definitely not me) has raised the idea of doing this GB again? I know completely mad and bonkers....me that is for even writing this!! I know the dust and other nameless stuff hasn't settled yet, so this is just testing the waters......maybe we need a wee break before doing this again ...I could do with one. Plus the manufactures do need to ramp up production of Drakens (gee I know where there's one! ) and Viggens after the world wide shortage of said models due to this GB! Gosh maybe even that elusive 1/48th Saab 105 may materialise??? Anyway have a think about it and post your thoughts here. We may even have a special section for @Marlin called "Cooking with Bosse". 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Definitely needs to be done again! Still plenty of Nordic builds left in my stash (including a Draken ). And if you need help going thru all the threads, just PM me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm game. , venison, deer, and boar. I actually have a whole year planned for the rest of my Swedish Aircraft. In 2023 Sweden will celebrate 500 years as an independent state. In 1520 a merry band of (what would become) Swedes started to protest about Danish Rule of Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_War_of_Liberation And on June 6, 1523 Gustav Vasa was proclaimed to be King of Sweden and the ties with Denmark was broken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden So in 2023 I'll only build models with a Swedish theme. /Bosse 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
