Only two more names required to take this one to the vote. Come on gang, it'll be fun, we might even convince @trickyrich to build a Draken this time! :o

Thanks guys for the first edition, although I only managed to do the minimun, mostly Corona related ... only 1 early gallery entry...

Even managed to miss this thread until now ;)

 

Obviously one has o do everything onesself here :devil:

 

Ok, please put me on the list, I could re-start my takeoff Viggen.. that barely made it to the runway at all....

@trickyrich, if you need a challenge do a prototype Draken or the Maestro 2seater conversion ;)

By the way, why is an Aussi hosting a Nordic GB anyways? ;)

I’m in, again! Might even get my entry finished within the GB window next time. Still working on the J-21 from the first GB!! 🤦🏻

welcome along....again! :D 

 

You are lucky #30!! :partytime:

 

there is talk in the wind (namely from those that barely finished in time!!) that we might extend the eligibility for started builds from 25% to 50% or a wee bit more. This would allow those previously started builds and shelf Queens a second chance to join the GB.

I came across this on one of my fav sites.....no not that one!! :blush:

 

But this one, showing Finland's F-18 participating in an "Elephant Walk" readiness drill.

 

Some great photos plus cool Videos to go with them...plus links in the videos to heap of other cool Ilmavoimat stuff! :thumbsup:

It's worth spending so spare/work :D time going through all these cool videos!

If the "Elephant walk" was a readiness drill, it was arranged to be done at June 4th, the Finnish Defence Forces Flag day. The 32 participating Hornets formed 8 swarms of 4 aircraft and flew overpasses in dozens of towns. What's cool, the swarms had radiocalls that wrote a message on the map of Finland:

Gotta love them for doing things like this!

If you get to 35 I’ll take that slot as it might encourage me to dig out a Heller Draken and join in the fun. 

 

(If not 35 then 37 and then it’ll have to be a Viggen!).

it's called the Crono-GB virus....does lots of strange things to people, like making them buy more models than they could possibly every build!!

I could sign up again using an alias...

I thought about getting medical papers for a split personality. Could I then have two official memberships with such a document - Gold members both, of course :rofl2: :weep:

Now was it me who wrote that or me? :wicked:

Hey guys, as a build for Nordic II, doing a trailer for the Volvo F12 which I did in Nordic I wasn't a bad idea, but... I found something which should make an even better build. It's the other big Swedish truck brand!

This kit has become pretty rare so I'm glad I managed to acquire one.  This time, the parts in the box are looking much better so I may keep them 🙂

Gosh imagine what you'll be able to do without having to build everything from scratch and it's in a big scale......the mind boggles!

Hmm well, I have some ideas... I'll probably need the entire duration of the GB again...
