So where does that leave me for this GB?

  

 

Interesting. “for this GB”.  

 

Shouldn’t that be “for this potential GB” or “if this GB gets through the Bunfight?”?  

 

Or is Lord Matrix hinting he’s made his mind up and making an Executive Decision that this one gets to be a GB without going through the Bunfight?

You are quite right.  It should be “if this GB gets through the Bunfight?"

Aw!  I thought you might be channelling either Steven Segal or Kurt Russell and making an “Executive Decision”!

Now I’ll have to channel Churchill

 

We have fought to come up with the idea of the GB. 

We have fought to get the numbers to advance. 

We will fight to get through The Bunfight ...

Just in case anyone needs to buy a Tempest for this GB, this from a FB page.  I don’t need another one. No, I don’t. No, no, no. 😇

 

I have that in The Stash and it's my favoured choice for this GB.  Will that young lady be willing to consult on my build? :)

You've written that twice now.  Three times and it sounds like a stuttering Executive Decision.

I heard she consults to people who make Executive Decisions ...

No luck as far as far as I can see of obvious First Flight Anniversaries in 2023 to make an Executive Decision on :

 

Tornado First flight 6 October 1939 

 

Typhoon First flight 24 February 1940 

 

Tempest First Flight 2 September 1942 

 

Fury First Flight 1 September 1944

 

Sea Fury  First Flight 21 February 1945

Oh, hello...

 

..wonder if I can convince this to fit the old Heller kit in my stash or if I'll be 'forced' to buy another Tempest kit? :hmmm:

 

If in doubt, there's always this one:  https://www.eduard.com/eduard/plastic-kits/limited-edition/aircraft/1-48/the-ultimate-tempest-1-48.html 😇

I've got all of the Eduard & KP Tempests mentioned on this page, so I wonder if I should have a go at this for my first group build.

Seems all the stars have aligned to make it so :D

You have to start somewhere, so seems like a plan 😀

Daft question; Why isn't this a STGB?
a) The airframes were lineal descendants from the Tornado.

 

They're different airframes, that would be like saying a Mirage GB should be an STGB, but a Mirage IIIC is nothing like a Mirage F.1 and the only similarity between a Mirage 5 and a Mirage 2000 is the delta wing layout.

b) The Sopwith descendants GB could include these types.

 

Absolutely agree with you there!

Has everyone voted because we are right down the bottom and if this was a Sport and not a Blood Sport we’d be Relegated!
