Martin We've got the votes to get on the ballot. Now the waiting game until November for the annual bumfight. The voting will detirmine the 7(ish) GBs that will make it to the 2021 GB calendar along w/ the STGB (single type group build), KUTA (kick up the bum), 2-3 Blitzbuilds, and any special anniversary GBs our fearless leader deems appropriate (I think GW1/Desert Storm/Op Granby is coming next year). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm in. Just had a bit of an Su-27 lightbulb moment - one of my favourite aircraft yet I've never built one - so an Su-27 or Su-30 from one of the African air forces seems like a good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 What should be the degree of readiness of the model to participate in this GB? Of course, I could deceive everyone by publishing the photos of the construction process I made earlier, but I don't see the point in this, why? So the question. B.R. Serge P.S. In my collection, this is the only model of an plane built in Africa....probably it's only independent building African plane my thematic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLalor Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) A handful of things come to mind for me - Gabonese T-6 Texan, Libyan Aero L-39 or possibly even the Katangan Fouga Magister that attacked the Irish contingent at Jadotville. I think Joe Maxwell's sheet for the Magister, which covers some African nations, is still available. I'd like to give this one a go please.

If I understand your question correctly Serge, the model should not be more than 25% built at the beginning of the GB, the hosts will provide the decision on this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course yes, but first I need to clear some minimal space on my desktop to take pictures of the current state of the object. Early photos showing the stages of building can be sent to You in PM after I upload them to the photo hosting, however, You have already seen some of them personally! 😉😁 B.R.
