Thanks, Pat
Ordered the kit last night, so this build better make it through the vote!

[JOCKNEY]

Well everyone,  its nearly time for voting in the Bunfight.

 

I've tried to resist the temptation to open the Christmas crackers early and posting the jokes on here.

 

You can thank me by voting for this GB 

 

Cheers Pat

It's certainly getting tight again but we need GBs with broad appeal if the concept is going to grow, the world has enough 'planes and a few others' type sites.

[Ryan Hothersall]

Sounds interesting. I’ll give it a go if it gets up. 
 

got plenty of ICM, Modelsvit etc kits. 

[Skodadriver]

Add me to the list @JOCKNEY Not sure how I missed this until now

 

If it gets going I'll fly the flag for civil airliners with something 1/144 from Roden, BPK or newcomers X-Scale.

Excellent - the more airliners the better. 

 

There are at least eight Roden civilians - Britannia, Boeing 720/720B, Carvair, DC-3, DC-6, DC-7C, Convair 440, Super VC-10. You could call it nine if you count the Boeing 720B as a separate aircraft or ten with a civilian FW Condor as well. We're certainly not short of choice.  At the moment I'm thinking X-Scale Trident but that will probably change.

I can cover all but the DC-6 and FW200 from the stash . But before someone says to build them all I will do one maybe two .  I will be sneaking Cambodian A320 into Asia if it gets up

Hi everyone

 

We are still in the running, and today is the last day for voting.

Every vote counts  so let's hope we get to see the amazing variety of subjects that this GB has the potential to produce.

 

Cheers Pat 

[JTninja]

Almost there folks. If you haven't voted yet, nows the time.

[JOCKNEY]

Thank you to everyone who voted for this one 

 

I've asked @Enzo the Magnificent for the date in the title as I'm also hosting the Frog II GB and the D-Day Anniversary GB next year so this one complete the set of hosting GBs for the full 12 months in 2024 

 

Any volunteers for co-hosting this one greatfully accepted no previous experience required ? 

 

Cheers Pat

Pat, is this old friend of yours https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dzi-f389-hawker-typhoon-1b-tank-buster--1233448 eligibly Ukrainian? It is a Frogspawn, so maybe I better place it there and keep Ukraine free of these things 🙂 V-P

[2996 Victor]

Great to see this one made it through the Bunfight, Pat! Looking forward to finding something appropriate in my stash  

 

Cheers,

Mark

Well, as I have 7 Roden WWI plane kits including a Gotha, I suspect I will be doing a lot of rigging next year!😄

[RC Boater Bill]

I think I have a bunch of eligible 1/72 kits:

Toko: Nieuport 11, Nieuport 16

Roden:  Nieuport 24, 27
             Sopwith Camel

             (3) Albatros D.III

              Pfalz D.III

              Pfalz D.IIIa

 

Leaning towards the N.16 or maybe the Camel, if I can find some decent decals for it… 

 

              

   

 

 

[rafalbert]

I shall brave the MikroMir Valiant which I keep looking at with trepidation.

Interesting as I did not realise Toko were Ukrainian, 

 

I have a number of Eastern Express kits as well, which are reboxes of Toko kits, but I thought it might be rather tactless to include them because, although originally made in the Ukraine, the ones I have were made in Russia☹️! Thankfully I have more than enough Roden to keep me occupied so that conflict will not arise!

I have ICM, Modelsvit, Miniart and Ace in my stash, plenty of stuff to choose from!
