BeNeLux GB - and we're off to the bunfight!

[vppelt68]

I think België/Belgique, Nederland and Lëtzebuerg could be next interesting multi-nation GB- subject. Any other takers, of course @Arniec and @Erwin. V-P

Ok 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Erwin]

Indeed as a Belgian I would be glad to join.

 

But I fear the BeNeLux will not get many votes.

[zebra]

Count me in. I expect it’ll be more BeNe than Lux but I’ll have a think about what I could do to bolster the Lux numbers!

[Arniec]

I will be in. I think I will have some stuff in my stash. Probably a lot of Dutch stuff.

 

Cheers,

[JOCKNEY]

Put me down for something Dutch, I was going for a Luxembourg B-52, but am struggling to find someone who makes decals for it !

 

 Cheers Pat

This, perhaps?

 

[franky boy]

Great idea. 
 

Please add me to the list.

[Silenoz]

Me too.. need to expand my built Belgian collection...

[CliffB]

Yes please.  Probably with a Dutch F-84.

 

Cheers

[Hockeyboy76]

Yes please too. 

[Shashman]

Yes please!

 

This will be my first group build and having a couple of Belgian kits (and currently working on a Belgian Spitfire XIV) this would be a great way to start 😃

 

I'll be making either an F-16 (with Syhart 350sqn 75th Anniversary decals) or F-104G... or both?!

 

I was born in Brussels and lived there 19 years so Belgium will always be my spiritual home 🇧🇪

[Col.]

Yes!  Sure my display cabinet needs more Belgian and Dutch subjects.

[Wez]

Count me in on this one

[helios16v]

I could be up for this one.  Leading candidates are either a Dutch F-16A MLU (Diana) or a Belgian Mirage 5.

 

I know, I know.  Falcons & Mirages...how original.

I'm voting for the Mirage 5!  

[John Masters]

Sure...why not?

[Silenoz]

just acquired the kit and upgrades for a Seaking, and an F-84F...  Further I have the  Wingman's Mirage V and Alpha Jet, which both seem to be uh, challenging... and a PJ mirage III...

Depending on how I get on with the Starfighter and that cool but challenging camo scheme, I'd love to do a Mirage 5, but not sure which one to buy?

 

By the way, what are the criteria for this group build to go ahead, and if so, when will it be active? Sorry, I've just joined and have only just discovered the concept of group builds

First off, welcome to GBs @Shashman.  I suspect you'll enjoy it around here, regardless of you're ability to complete projects in the allotted time...such as yours truly.  

 

Step 1 - Topic is proposed and has to gain 30 interested parties (25 for STGBs - single type group builds), this is not necessarily a commitment to build, just checking for interest that one would like to build should schedules align.  In general the proposer of the subject becomes the GB Host if it gets all the way through.

Step 2 - After prerequisite interest has been garnered, our fearful leader @Enzo Matrix will tag the GB for entry into the November Bun (or is it Bum?) fight. 

Step 3 - The vote.  Members get 7 votes to scatter across the various proposed GBs.  The top 7 (this year anyways) make it through the bun fight.  First time losers get a pass to the ballot for next year, 2nd timers have to restart the process.  STGBs are automatically added to the back of the STGB que (can be over a year).

Step 4 - GB leaders & Enzo make secret backroom deals to secure dates on the calendar.

Step 5 - Enzo publishes the annual Holy Grail for all to see.

Step 6 - Load up your spreadsheet to plan out your year, required kits, and resin/decal wishlist.  This is the most important part.  

 

Now I'm off to verify the numbers I've just posted aren't complete lies.

I’m in V.P. These multi nation GB’s are lots of fun and are a good break from building subjects that one would describe as the ‘norm’. Just checking, would the NEIAF be acceptable here too? 
 

Cheers.. Dave

But hottie on the tail.....

[Heather Kay]

I’ve got some Belgian and Dutch aircraft in my 1940 stash, so I think I’m in.

Oh? Would that be Diana by any chance?

Also, if you're looking for a co-mod, I'll play
