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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! On 8/1/2020 at 10:53 AM, PattheCat said: Decision taken. It will be this one: J-26 nr. 26003 - F16 Wing Swedish Air Force.

I can't remember if we had a Mustang in this years build. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 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.

nimrod54 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hey Rich, be a good chap and kindly add me to the list for this please. There are a couple of Nordic Nations that I didn't build anything for in the first outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 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!!! 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 So as many will probably guess if this GB goes ahead there maybe a couple of these monster Viggen's in the build! Better start learning how to use my mask cutting machine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 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 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 hours ago, Rabbit Leader said: Best I dip my toes into the mix again, however this time I won’t be too adventurous.
