Col. Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) 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 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?

You are lucky #30!! 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Having thoroughly enjoyed the first Nordic Group Build could you please add my name to the list. Not sure what I'll build yet but I promise I'll try harder to finish it this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 I came across this on one of my fav sites.....no not that one!! 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! https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/33855/more-than-half-of-finlands-f-18-hornets-take-part-in-an-elephant-walk-readiness-drill It's worth spending so spare/work time going through all these cool videos! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 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! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob S Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 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!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 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 🙂 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
