If it's a hobby shop, I probably wouldn't mind at all!

Gidday, if you date your model 1945 you probably would be! 😁 Regards, Jeff.

So, am I a POW - or just too drunk to find my way out of the bar..?

Quick question,  if you were to build a French plane in Vichy colours would it be OK in this GB, or the Allies Twin GB or would I have to start a 3rd, "Sitting on the Fence" Twin GB ?

Gidday Pat aka @JOCKNEY, I believe Vichy French aircraft actually attacked HMS Sheffield off Gibraltar. In my book that would make them an 'enemy' if I were aboard the Shiny Sheff. But I don't know if Vichy France was part of the definition of 'Axis". The GB leader has the decision I guess. Regards, Jeff.

I think only the French stick to believing the Vichy was 100% neutral. In Europe, I would only count Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland as sitting on the fence. V-P

Thanks Gents

 

I suppose you could build an Italian aircraft with one paint scheme and decals in this GB then the same aircraft with later paint scheme and alternative decals in the Allied  twin GB for later on in the war? :wink:

Yes I'd take that as such. Also, for example, shouldn't Finnish aircraft post September -44, that were turned against the Germans in the Lapland War, also be included in the Allied GB :giggle:

Indeed, we really want both GBs to make it over the line :)

Gidday, that's great sportsmanship. 👍 To achieve that end is it viable to combine both GBs into one? Sorry for the repeat if this has already been discussed.       Regards, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff, we have indeed discussed this with James! We regard that as the last possible option, though, as both subjects deserve their own group builds. There are many Britmodellers that would like to participate in both, and four months may not be enough to build two Twins. Thus, it would be optimal to have both, separate group builds and schedule them in the calendar so that they wouldn't overlap at all. So, I hope many of us join the list and remember to VOTE if we make it to the Bunfight 🙂. V-P

I've stuck a post asking those signed up for the Allied Twins to sign up for this as well, hopefully it'll get us a bit closer to the double-act making it through

You're correct it took Mrs Jockney and I just under 4 years to have 2 sets of twins  :wink:
