TonyOD Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 14 hours ago, RC Boater Bill said: I am a little bit put off by the “any aftermarket must be Eduard”- Is that going too far? You are banning aftermarket decals? Parts from the scrap box? Rigging products? Crew figures? I think you're right, I'm probably being a bit too stringent with that. Just trying to come up with a scenario that doesn't invite the endless ah-but-whataboutery that seems to happen whenever someone floats a GB idea. So yes, let's keep it simple: the box has to say "Eduard" on it, that's it. Any and all aftermarket or additions, refinements, improvements permissible. I imagine most aftermarket products used on Eduard kits bear their name, it's made to fit after all. 14 hours ago, RC Boater Bill said: Given the bang-up job you’re doing with the Sea Dogs GB, I’d probably join in an “empty sprues GB” if you were running it….! Why, thank you! (Do you think I could get 50 sign-ups...?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 14 hours ago, RC Boater Bill said: I understand about the reboxes - I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that Smer reboxed Eduard sprues. I bought it in 2021, when it was hard to find an Eduard Weekend Edition 1/72 Dr.1, because the last release of that version was in 2016. Given the small number of subjects/kits impacted, I doubt anyone will really care…. On reflection you're right, it would just be plain daft to exclude Eduard sprues reboxed by others - I'm sure there can't be that many about... can there?

Quite a few Revell WWI 1/48 biplanes were Eduard originals, so they could be included then (Fokker Dr1, Bristol F2B Fighter, Albatros DVa and some others if I remember correctly). This looks like it will be a 'classic' GB when it gets through. I also think it is a good idea to open up the aftermarket to other brands, even if I won't use any extra, except possibly markings. Good luck with this proposal, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfa1983 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) And me. I've got a spitfire plus an overtree, a mig21 plus an overtree, a tempest (which I'll probably build in the desert GB) and the diminutive but oh so cute Z-37A Cmelak which I doubt I'll be able to put off until this group build.

nickhenfrey Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Please count me in As well as a couple of Spitfire Story: The Fews, and an Adlerangriff dual combo, I've got a couple of bf110s, three 1/32 109es, a Tora Tora Tora, a Barbarossa, and three Royal Class boxings (109f, 109g, 110) Actually the 109g is just the kit contents minus the special item and no box, but it was only £40 Obviously if I build one kit out of these I'll need to top up with at least four more... Oh I've got some brassin cockpits and engines, I may do Bader's 222 squadron Spit with engine displayed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'll take gaining nine positive reactions within less than twenty four hours as encouragement to continue promoting Tony's proposal for the 2024 poll. The official list was at twenty four names including Tony as moderator so let's swap him out for me then add @arfa1983 and @nickhenfrey to bring us up to twenty six. Anyone else coming to play? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, princess Sorry Rich, couldn't resist that, whereas in all seriousness you have my sympathies as I understand only too well how frustrating it is to become a stranger at your own workbench.
