just been pointed over in this direction after Whifs aren't allowed in the Lanc STGB so in order to use the Lancaster bits left over from the Python Lincoln I started in the Frog Squad GB pencil me in for the year long campaign to have a go at the High Speed Lancaster Mailplane Project as per the line drawing on Page 41 in the Harleyford book on the Lancaster

Again no promises especially if 2020 proves to be as big a pain in the posterior as 2019 was what with moving and illness etc.

This looks brilliant in sooo many ways!

Trust you to come up with something that’s way beyond OOB (like I told you you should - @Rob S). This does look very interesting all the same, just trying to work out what GB category does this one belong too? 
 

Cheers and good luck.. Dave

Oh no!  You missed out on your Observation Badge!  The (BIG) hint is in the "As noted here :"!  

 

(Looks like I've become the Observation Badge equivalent of the 'Soup Nazi" - "No Observation Badge for You!".)  

 

(And just to explain the Rules in that one I think it says up to 25 percent Injection Moulded so if I use up the Wings off the Lanc somehow the rest has to equate to 75 percent of other materials - Tube Fuselage, Metal (Tricycle of course!) Undercarriage, Vacuform Transparencies, Wooden Doobrie, and anything else I can think of to get up to the 75 percent figure!)

@Giorgio N would you accept an American WW2 bomber, that was based in Essex, England as eligible to "Stranger In Town"? V-P

 

Originally I had not considered this kind of subjects, as my idea was focused more on the presence of foreign materials and personnel within the British armed forces.

The matter of US types in US service operating from UK bases was not brought to my attention back then, so I can't remember having given any thought to the matter

Today however I feel that this may well be an interesting addition to the original rules of the GB, afterall the many USAAF crewmen were indeed in those days "strangers" in the UK towns and their presence often had positive and negative impact on the local population. So I'd say yes, go ahead with it.

It's quite obvious, isn't it? Anyway, as long as the Mustang is unfinished, these are only ideas. I do have a commitment to build one B-17 in the VE-VJ GB so I may spare it there... As I came across another glorious and magnificent project that would combine Nordic, Small Wars, Yanks Abroad, 90's NATO and KUTA GB:s :coolio:. We'll see...

Interesting. Something from the Bosnian War perhaps?

What the do import them ? I don't think they're indigenous to South America ? 

I guess because they are ideal for traversing the swamp lands after criminals :shrug:

I used to lodge with a dog handling policeman and his wife and he used to bring his dog home.

If they do the same thing in Brazil, you are going to need a big sofa when that thing cuddles up amongst the cushions !

To be honest I think there's a good enough variety of GBs happening at the moment to satisfy everyone's interests and it's keeping the mods rather busy :frantic:
