While your FV is well beyond the 25% progress point I'd still like to watch your continuing work on it. If you want to open a thread here all I ask is you post the finished article in the Inspiration Gallery rather than the Gallery.

Sounds as if you know a cure for that lack :) 

It's okay, rules are rules. Your answer was expected for me (I thought so myself), so next time. And maybe I’ll be in time with a new project, if I can finish building this model in time. While I continue building on the old site.

Do you still accept entries?

 

I would like to do a Ju88D-4 in 1/32. I had done the same aircraft in 1/48 some time ago (which has found a new home in the meantime):

This is the SH version of ICM`s kit.

Here showing the camera windows.

 

I have got Revell`s "Technik" kit, which means lights and rotating propellers.

Decals are from Profimodeller who sold me the decal set from their "Spy" conversion. I did not buy the whole kit because of its price, that means I do not have cameras and have to scratchbuild the camera windows.

Does this one qualify for this GB?

Yes indeed it does :)

We most certainly are :)

I don't think I've ever seen one that comes with working lights / props OOB, will be interesting to see how that all fits together!

My FWs are almost done and my lozenge decals for the Hannover have arrived so I should be starting up my builds for this one soon.

 

A question for @Scargsy, does the Lysander qualify for this GB?

They were developed for the Army to provide a "tactical and artillery reconnaissance aircraft to provide photographic reconnaissance" according to Wikipedia though replaced in 1941 but also used by the Free French Air Force. So I'll say yes.

This is a kit I've not seen before so will be watching your progress with particular interest.

Ooh yes - are you doing both 1/72th and 1/35th? I've built the AFV Club Scimitar before - would be nice to see either (or both) of these!

I’m finishing up my Salty Sea Dog builds and realized I haven’t a hope of even getting properly started on my Freidrichshaffen before that GB finishes, so GB hosts permitting I’m transferring it to the scouting GB. Once I catch up with myself I shall build it, the Roland and the Halberstadt for this GB.

 

I just need to finish my Morser Karl

and build a few Mirages first :)

Now that the sun has set on Salty Sea Dog, I think I'm going to enter this GB with my Airfix Cessna Bird Dog. I know there is less than a month to go, but its only a titch!

Best of luck, I've still got two kits on the go!

All of my entries are now complete!  :yahoo:   Gallery entries tomorrow.

 

Okay...   so it isn't exactly tomorrow...   :fraidnot:   I injured my back and have had to take an enforced break from modelling.  For four days all I could do was lie on the floor whimpering piteously...   But now I'm improving, so here is the recce crew to take a bow!

While a 'Like' doesn't seem appropriate in relation to your predicament please be assured it's directed toward a fine display of reconnaissance types boss. So, what's next? :D

I don’t suppose there’s a chance of an extension, or have I missed it and it’s already been extended. If the former is the case I may focus on my promised builds and get all or most over the line if the latter then I think I’ll just go for getting the Lysander done.

Maybe @Col. knows how we go about extending things? I haven't got a clue, still trying to do some rush finishing on my two builds and see if I can get them over the line!

Col does know how to extend things.  He knows to give me a shout! :)   Are you up for an extension?

Sure - I imagine if the people want a weeks extension then it couldn't hurt :), unless anyone has an objection?
