I'm game too. I've got a Caudron R.11 vac form from Sierrascale. This will give me the incentive to get it done.

 

Regards, Steve

Ambitious and art deco in one fell swoop, I like it!

 

Thanks for signing up.

Mark me down for this one; have a Revell Rafale in the stash that could do with being built.

A fine choice and seeing what you have done with your RAF QRA series, I have high hopes for this.

 

Welcome and thanks for signing up.

If I were to buy an old Deux Cheveaux and restore it from the 

ground up, could I enter as a full-scale kit?  
 

just kidding obviously!

Sunday afternoon push for this one, the rules are simple:

 

If it's French, it's in.

 

If it's French made it's in (doesn't matter whose markings it's in).

 

If it was used by the French, it's in!

 

Land, sea, air or space, all are welcome.

Having rounded up most of the usual subjects, there's always a few stragglers and following the example set by another GB proposer (you know who you are), I've decided to put a call out to all those of you current contributors who joined the first round of this GB five years ago.

 

You know the routine...

 

...If it's French, it's in.

 

If it's French made it's in (doesn't matter whose markings it's in).

 

If it was used by the French, it's in!

 

Land, sea, air or space, all are welcome.

 

Come and join us, you know you'll have fun!

 

So this is a call out to

@PaulT 876 @SAU @Mark @Caerbannog @Andrew @Chimpion @VG 33 @Jasonb13 @Rich G @Hardtarget @JackG @Marlin @bobster @Natter @Bjorn @Marcel @Giorgio N @Stephen @Max Headroom @Kallisti @Ronan71 @Misterfriend @charlie_c67 @Stew Dapple @Blitz23 @Jb65rams @AndyC @stevehed @ForestFan @Biggles87 @Paul J @06/24 @thepureness @heloman1 @AndrewE @Alex Gordon @fatfingers @Geoff King

Fair play for the invite, I really enjoyed doing the French P-47 the last time. I actually have a Rafale-M in the stash, so if you don't mind yet another Rafale, count me in! :)

And we really enjoyed seeing your P-47 too!

 

There's always room for another Rafale especially an Aéronavale one.

 

Welcome to the GB and thanks for signing up.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Ok I will stick my name on the board. Top choices being an F4U-7 in French markings. Failing to find one then it will be a Super Mystère, Mirage III, or Fouga Magister in Israeli Markings. 
 

Dennis

Dennis,

 

Great choices all.

 

Thanks for signing up.

Hey guys I’ll join the group with something French! Count me in please.

Welcome Marcel, thanks for signing up.

 

Any more takers for this wide ranging GB?  It covers a wide range of subjects from the deepest oceans to space and everything inbetween.

 

Come and join us.

Hi Wez,

 

I have been badgered by a well known BM thug to enter this GB, and once again I cannot say no! 

I will therefore enter either a Heller 1/43 2 CV, or a French aircraft of a yet undecided type.

The 2 CV is a more likely candidate as it appears to be a quick and easy kit to build. Slight drawback, I have NEVER built a vehicle kit in my life!

A rather scary prospect with a paint brush.

But I am sure that @JOCKNEY will be at hand to provide advice and sarcasm if need be!

 

Cheers

 

JR

Jean,

 

Welcome, as always with GBs we like people going outside of their comfort zone and this sort of GB invites a wide range of subjects and hopefully, helpful advice! 

 

Thanks for signing up!

 

Pat @JOCKNEY thanks for drumming up the support, much appreciated.

 

When Jean mentioned a BM thug I was thinking I hadn't twisted anyone's arm behind their back...   ...yet, fortunately he didn't mean me!

 

Come one, come all, come and join us!

Wow 53!

 

Is that a record for GB interest?

I don't believe so, it would be nice if it was!

 

Plenty of room for more...

Come on you faint hearts!  You know you want to, what's holding you back?

 

From the bottom of the deep blue seas, to the eternal inky night of space and everything in between.

 

If it's French, it's in.

 

If it's French made it's in (doesn't matter whose markings it's in).

 

If it was used by the French, it's in!

 

Land, sea, air or space, all are welcome.

Anyone for the number 56 slot?  Later joiners will get later slots of course.

Late weekend push for this one, the rules are simple:

 

Anything French in origin.

 

Anything used by the French.

 

Anything wearing French markings as a part of another nations armed forces (e.g. Normandie_Niemen).

 

Land, sea, air or space, all welcome.

I'll keep an eye on this pending timing (assuming it clears the bumfight).  I've got a couple Mirages in the stash yet as well as a Bugatti EB110 and a Toyota GT-One that competed @ Lemans.
