For me it's easiest and least expensive to just order from KP.  No VAT, quick delivery...

[Old Man]

I'm on the other side of the pond, this keeps shipping to a dull roar.

 

The guy listing it is good, I've got stuff from him for years.

Then that's a good source.  I used to get almost everything via Hannants in the UK.  Since Brexit it has become prohibitively expensive for me to order from them, so I just go to the manufacturer.  Most are in the Czech Republic (EU) and most of my Bay purchases are from Germany so no VAT or shipping costs usually either.

Keep it up Boys … Damn the Torpedoes as were gaining steam. We’ve finally broken through to the promised land and we need to keep the steam on and the votes coming in. Push her through the redline ! We don't care if she blows up, If we don't make it then lets go out in a blaze of glory !

Well we've dropped under the line folks… Seems a couple of members have decided another build is more important. I cant/wont cajole anyone but I can ask if you are still on the fence to please vote. 

[LorenSharp]

I tried Dennis. my GB was far enough along I gave up my vote for the Classic wings.. Come on Peoples.... Vote Classic wings... Classic wings.....

Gang, this is a great opportunity to build some beautiful models of subjects from an era when machines had classic lines and colours, give it a vote and let's get those kits done  

[Marklo]

Well if things stay as they are the GB is tied for 11th place and according to @Enzo the Magnificent all of the tied GBs would get a slot.

Just so we make no mistakes… this is what you mean with Interwar «classic lines», right?

 

 

 

 

 

Right?

Hey there is nothing wrong with man trying to create a flying whale and succeeding. Was it the wisest choice no, but since he did we shall build it if the build comes to pass. 

[Corsairfoxfouruncle]

Alas Boys and girls if there be any here. Were slipping backwards in the numbers and I fear its just not to be. I still hold out hope though not much. If you choose to re-vote to get another build in I wont blame you.

Some of us are keeping faith

Well I was planning on doing the Blackburn or possibly a Bison if the GB gets through.

 

 

I think they’re both so ugly that they’re actually cool. 
 

Clearly a case where form following function, whatever the hell the designers thought it should be…..

[Col.]

If this doesn't make it into the 2023 GB calendar I'm making a concentrated effort to fit a few suitable projects into other GBs just to show everyone what they missed out on!

A Hawker Nimrod will fit into either Here Comes The Fleet or Salty Sea Dog for starters. There's also a Swordfish, Seafox, and Gladiator I could fit into either of them now I think about it Just don't tell Enzo

For the Transport GB there's a Dh Dragon Rapide.

I could argue that rigging a biplane is not in my Comfort Zone.

 

That's all I can think of off-hand but sure you get the idea.

Ah saddest this one didn't make it, I would really have liked to see the gallery of this GB, but alas not to be again this year. As @Col. says, always ways of shoehorning into other GBs, but the golden age always seems sadly underrepresented in model form.

 

Next year again perhaps? It wasn't a million miles away and was over the threshold for a good chunk of the voting period.

I will consider it but this was already the second attempt that failed. I wonder if there are enough interested to get it over the line ? Give me a few days to think about it and decide if I want to try for a third attempt. 

[CliffB]

This was my favourite too.  Never mind.

For sure though, I'll be building an Avro Bison in the Recon GB 

 

Cheers

[Redstaff]

Gutted this didn't make it

But as this forum seems to be dominated by certain types and genres of modelling I'm not really surprised TBH

Seems to be the same old variations churned out year after year and the "interesting" ones fall by the wayside

Really disappointed this didn't make it, can we have another run at it in 2024
