I never realised Toko were from the Ukraine. I have several of their kits but unfortunately they are the Eastern Express re-boxings so it would be inappropriate to enter them here, but I have plenty of Roden WWI planes and a fair few tanks from other Ukrainian companies that I can do if I have time. Given the fun I had with some Roden armoured cars, their biplanes could be a little challenging as the struts and the like will probably be fragile, so I can see my Contrail/Aeroclub strutting coming into play. It was originally bought for a batch of vacform kits I intended to build, but after 30 years I decided they would never get constructed by me so passed them on to other modellers. Now it may just prove to be useful after all.😄

I have an original Toko P-36A which I might build for this GB. It's recently been re-released by Amodel, which would qualify for this GB. Only on a very limited basis though (300).

 

I think I'll avoid all those tricky Roden WWI biplanes, especially as you seem to built a good many already. I may build one of the Junkers D.1 monoplanes, but not just yet. For the time being I'm sticking with AFVs.

I recently picked up a Ukrainian made Canberra kit at Newark Air Museum. If all goes well with the last few assignments of this term at uni, I'll have a couple of weeks to build it before this wraps up.

Hi everyone 

 

As we are fast approaching the scheduled end date for this great GB I have been considering asking our esteemed GB Leader @Enzo the Magnificent for an extension to this GB to enable people to complete their builds. 

 

Or in the case of yours truly,  blooming start one ! 

 

Please let me know what do you think ?

 

cheers Pat

[JTninja]

Please, that would be great! 

 

Im going to be busy until Xmas, so an extension would be quite welcome.

It would be simply magnificent!

 

Cheers

As I’m still yet to start mine and I’ve a busy end to December I need an extension  

[Ryan Hothersall]

Yes an extension will be handy. 

[MrB17]

I thought I should explain “simply magnificent”. @Enzo the Magnificent. I certainly don’t think you’re simple. Years ago I hand lettered the words “Simply Magnificent” as well as the crest of the HMCS Magnificent on a Hawker Sea Fury for racing at Reno. I also did the graphics for the team t-shirts, so that quote has stuck in my brain ever since. Don Crowe was the owner at the time and he was trying to come up with a name. One of the AME’s girlfriends came up with it and voila.

 

Cheers

If you did, you wouldn't be the first to think that.

 

In fact, you wouldn't be the first to think that today!

Dear GB participants and spectators

@Enzo the Magnificent in his benevolent wisdom has granted us a 2 week extension to this GB.

Although clearly unworthy, i have gratefully accepted this kind offer on our behalf. 

 

Please note new end date of 12th January 2025

 

So no excuses let's get these builds finished 

 

Cheers Pat

[PhantomBigStu]

All hail to enzo for this and for the one in the mirage gb though I don’t need it now, taken the pressure off  

[PhantomBigStu]

Heads up guys the river people are doing the icm ki21 for 18.22 might be too late to build it in this but still 

[JOCKNEY]

Happy New Year everyone 

 

Cheers Pat 

[JOCKNEY]

This is our final weekend of this GB

 

Good luck to everyone endeavouring to get their builds completed in time, I'm in the same boat !

Thanks!!

Indeed, I need to hand over my Bayraktar 😉

The gallery also has some space left fortunately! 

[JOCKNEY]

So that's a wrap, ladies and gentlemen. 

 

Thank you so much, for participating and encouraging and supporting others, and hopefully you enjoyed yourselves too.

 

Cheers Pat
