Stefan Buysse Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi, This is definitely a GB that I'd be interested in. Cheers, Stefan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Buysse Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hi, The more I thought about this one, the more I became excited about it.👍 I see that the Norwegian flag is next to my name. While I realise that we are not obliged to build something from the country that has our name next to it, I would build a Norwegian F-5A. Cheers, Stefan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 With 30+ sign-ups shouldn't this be up in the Bunfight category ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're aiming for 2024, I think there's no hurry to get mixed up with the 2023 candidates 🙂. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Gidday @vppelt68, would a RN Leopard class Type 41 frigate qualify? Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMS Leopard, HMS Lynx, HMS Puma and HMS Jaguar most certainly qualify! May I add you to the list too? Best regards, V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just checking in on this one and I see I have a Belgian flag next to my name, so I will of course be happy to build a Belgian subject, in honour of my colleague @corsaircorp! It is bound to be an F-104 CC as I have so many of them! I hope to also build at least one other nations aircraft, and perhaps an AFV!

trickyrich Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 guess you'd better add me to the list, maybe by this time I would have built up the courage to do my 1/32nd Viggen in the "Splinter" scheme.....or I may have a 1/32nd Draken! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 Damn, Rich, I'm glad to add you to the list, but the pre-membership machinery from any nation is not eligible... but check the "Neutrality etc GB" proposal, there a splintered Viggen would fit like a Volv... glove!

trickyrich Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 haha, jumping the gun a wee bit I think!! But sign me up anyway, am bound to turn up with something a bit different... or large....or both. I don't think my "Tuffed Duck" will be eligible as I'll be starting her as soon as #2 arrives......probably 3-4 weeks time. Think I'll now go annoy the Neutrality lot now!! 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I now have two kits (yes, two) for this GB, so it better go ahead! Both are jets, with AM decals for Portuguese airframes – my name was, after all, placed alongside their flag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I feel this is a historically important subject, which should be exempt from the usual Bunfight. Therefore am making an executive decision. This GB will run from 4 April 2024 to 28 July 2024. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everything in the stash would be eligible. Maybe I’d need 18 months to decide. 🤔 Chris Ha I’ve still got more than 18 months to decide. I guess it depends what I build next year which will depend on the bun fight. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say, there are 18 months to go, so no doubt my choice will change at least 36 times in that period! Does anyone else find it scary that we are planning things 18 months in advance?!?!?!? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary? Not really. This is what we have spreadsheets for! I know the pain of the changing of the mind several times before a GB starts. I'm lucky this time in that I've only a single eligible Canadian kit in the stash...at least as of now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not both? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a lot of the fun, buying a kit, researching and planning to build it in a certain scheme, and then buying another kit for another scheme, and the you come to a GB and you decide to buy yet another kit. I'm not keen on doing a French plane, so the scope here for kits both in the stash and in my head is enormous. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
