Given that the big ‘C’ has given me no clue to life expectancy I’m playing really safe with just one group build initially and then we’ll see how we go!

frog squad 2 - Novo Javelin (5 sqn)

This should combine my 5 sqn stash and a group build.

 

I'm sorry to hear that Mark.  I'm hoping that you take part in many more GBs this year.

Plenty of GBs I’m either interested in or have something in the stash (at least 14).  After loading the GBs into a spreadsheet and seeing how they space out over the year, the following are currently the primary focus.

 

WWII Twins - Ki 45 Kai “Nick”

**NATO** - CF-104 Starfighter

Project Cancelled - F-107A

Mirage III STGB - IAF Mirage IIICJ or Belgian Mirage 5BR

 

As always, subject to change & additions.  ;)

Can I be a pedant and point out that it's a 5BR?    :smartass:

Yeah, that.  I’m at work so not staring at the box.  Should probably fix the spreadsheet too.  :whistle:

Chaps. Sorry if I’ve missed it but is there a gb calendar for 2024 yet? The one at the start of this thread has dates but no names. 
 

Thanks

Looks like another busy year! 

 

There are seven each of GBs and STGBs.  However, if there are not enough proposed STGBs, the balance will be given over to standard GBs.  

 

There are two Classic GBs;  FROG Squad and Classic Airfix.

 

There are also three Historical GBs this year:  NATO 75th Anniversary, D-Day 80th and a commemoration of the start of the second world war (aka "The Few")

 

Add to those the usual three blitzbuilds and a KUTA.  They should keep us out of trubble...   :lol:

 

Please note that the dates are provisional and can be tweaked to adapt to circumstance.

Hi Enzo, Is the calendar now definitive? And if so, where is it please? The link in your post doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Indeed it is.  The only change was to the closing date of the WW2 Twins GB which now lasts a month longer.

 

We had a minor data loss from the BM server a few days ago and the calender went with that.   I'll restore it.

Thanks Enzo. Would you believe I'm preparing for the next KUTA already? 😄

I shall need every day of it. 

 

And possibly every day of the KUTA after that...

Hi Enzo,

 

Did you manage to restore the calendar - the current link still seems to be down - error 404, or am I looking in the wrong place?

There was a temporary issue where the server lost all my photos for about 48 hours.  All should be available now though.

I just a week ago managed to finish two stragglers from a 2023 group build. I'm not sure if that feels even better than finishing one during a GB? I can only say that I'm very much looking forward to the soon to start KUTA. There are several stalled builds that I'd  be happy to remove from the shelf of shame ☺️ V-P
