I ask as I've missed the F-14D due to lack of bench time over the last few months and if it doesn't sell in the next couple of weeks, I might decide to build it here! I do have a 'Dambuster' but I had planned to do that in the 'Big & British' GB and it would mean I have an excuse for both No worries if not; just worth an ask Cheers NIgel Hello Nigel, yes a Bombcat is good, if you're depicting it loaded then even better 20 minutes ago, Dermo245 said: Count me in please @Col.

We've now got sixteen days to go before the start date and therefore around nine before the official GB forum opens where we can begin populating our project threads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Still a little unsure what I'll be building for this one, but I do know it will be a twin engined type! I'm leaning towards a Hasegawa Marauder or an Airfix Beaufort.... 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen a Marauder done for a while and always liked the lines of that particular machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is certainly pointing towards this being a busy GB so any contribution you do make will be welcome We're now at 13 days until this one starts gang.
