Hi @Norman, what I understand is that coming November the group build spots for 2021 will be assigned. So we all have to be very patient for a bit!

Decision taken. It will be this one:

J-26 nr. 26003 - F16 Wing Swedish Air Force. Originally P-51D-5 NA sn. 44-13345 "Mary Ann" from 357 th. FG 364 th. FS, pilot 1/Lt. Charles E. Burtner.

Plane interned after a safe landing (with another Mustang that crash landed) at Lomma - Sweden on august 25th. 1944 and transferred to Swedish Air Force.

It appears to be the only Swedish Mustang "D" without a dorsal fin fillet

 

Note: statements based on Internet references only.

 

Airfix 1/48 kit nr. 5138 and Moose Republic decals ordered arrived, so no turning back.

Aye, permanently, got as much hair as the emoticons these days :)  

@modelling minion might be able to lend you that polish he uses for his Banana's!

We still have a wee bit to go before we get to that stage, we have enough interested members for the GB to go into Novembers vote/Bum Fight. Then if we get enough votes we go into next years GB calendar. I then get to fight for a build slot. 

 

I'll try and go for the first slot again like I did for the last GB, think it suited everyone.

 

So for now just keep an eye out for the voting and don't forget to vote!

I was really looking forward to the original Nordic GB but I unfortunately couldn't join in because of limited free time. So I'm happy to see the possibility of getting a second chance :) I still have the Finnish BT-42 that I planned to make in the original GB & ideas for several diffrent scratch build Swedish tanks too.

My first group build so it should be the most appropriate colour for a greenie's entry, shouldn't it?

Didn't see the Mustang when perusing through the builds????

Just to tease or excite everyone...me especially!!!! 

 

Just beast is available for Pre-ordering!!!!!!

 

https://www.jetmads.com/product-page/1-32-ja37-viggen

 

Itbhad been originally P-re-released and sold out earlier in the year. Not sure if they increased to production run, been cancellations or an act of God/Enzo.

 

But they're available again and your's truly has his order in!!! :yahoo:

 

Oh and at the moment they have a 20% discount for Pre-orders!!

 

EDIT: looks like there were some cancellations current orders look like they are only for some of the vacancies, so maybe very limited!

I'm foolishly in on the madness as well.  Got an email confirmation from them that they did in fact have a few open...so managed to get in and nab one after work this morning.

Does Greenland count? If so I'll get back to my (very much less than 25% built) Greenlandair S-61N.

 

If not I'm still in. Timing of the last one wasn't great for me and I didn't finish my build, but keen to have another go. I have various options but I'm tempted by a vague memory of a Kar-Air DC-6 freighter at Manchester about 40 years ago.

Best I dip my toes into the mix again, however this time I won’t be too adventurous. I’ll just be boring and commit to only one build - God only knows what that will end up being by then! 
Cheers.. Dave

Having played hard to get up until now, I've finally capitulated so it will be either;

 

Danish Fokker DXXI or

Finnish Blenheim on Skis

 

Both Frog kits 😁

 

cheers Pat 

resistance is futile!!!!  :dalek:  Both would be nice choices, welcome along.

Hmmm I actually don't know.....or even thought about it.  :hmmm:

 

According to that bastion of absolute correct information, Greenland "is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark".  So for all intense and purposes could be considered a state of Denmark, so buy the rules be ok.

 

Military stuff is all out, but civilian registered would be ok. Cool looking choice.

Hi Col

You are obviously not a fisherman, part of it, is the fun of baiting the hook and waiting for Enzo to bite ! 🦈

cheers Pat
