I've got a couple Mirages in the stash yet as well as a Bugatti EB110 and a Toyota GT-One that competed @ Lemans. So are you in or are you out Chris? We wouldn't want you to get any splinters from that fence you're sitting on... Edited March 9, 2020 by Wez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Weekend bump for this one, any more takers? It's a wide and varied GB, open to anything on land, at sea, in the air and beyond as long as it was French made or used by the French or wore French colours, all are welcome!

Several subjects in the stash are waiting to be built ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Pigwa Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Zut alors, as half of my stash qualifies for this it would be a folly not to join. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb13 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just a stupid question as I'm not too familiar with the Bun Fight system! When will we find out if this GB is going ahead? Is there a vote we get involved with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for signing up Marcin, sounds like you'll have plenty to choose from. 36 minutes ago, Jasonb13 said: Just a stupid question as I'm not too familiar with the Bun Fight system! When will we find out if this GB is going ahead? Is there a vote we get involved with? Not a stupid question. For a group build to get into the bunfight it needs to have 30 would be participants. The poll or bunfight happens in November, we get to vote for our favourite six group builds, the top seven (I think), go through. So as you've signed up for this GB, naturally we can rely on your vote come the bunfight , there's no pressure, just sayin' right! We have 58 now but there's always room for more in this wide ranging GB. Edited April 20, 2020 by Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Hills Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hmmm, might be an excuse to build my Antares conversion for the Heinkel 177 to the He 274. An interesting high altitude bomber ‘overrun’ by the French when they took back their own airfield and the aircraft was left. The French completed it and flew it - even piggybacked experimental aircraft for aerodynamic testing. Hmmmm !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have a captured Char B wearing German markings, it would be eligible, a Richlieu - eligible, the Renault 4 you learnt to drive in around the Scottish Highlands - eligible, any Mirage used anywhere - eligible, a Grumman Avenger used serving with the Aeronavale in Tunisia - eligible; a French Foreign Legion soldier - eligible. I'm sure you get the drift and I'm sure that something that interests you will fit the bill. Come and join us in 2021! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi Wez You could try looking at various French builds here on BM, Aircraft section "WIP and Ready for Inspection" a must and whilst admiring someone else's work casually drop in a reference to this GB to encourage people to build a simular subject in the GB.... I might have done this for the Frog Squad GB 😉 Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
