Post-WW2 Twins - 9 Aug to 30 Nov 2025

[Col.]

I was going to repopose a DC-3/C-47/etc. STGB for 2026 but will hold off as this GB covers the majority of their service life well.

Going along those lines, Im curious if airworthy museum examples are eligible for this build.  For example, Commemorative Air Force currently operates 6 airworthy B-25s flying across the USA in airshows. Since they're being operated post-WWII, would building one of those examples be allowed?  🤔

As long as you model it as it was operated after 1945 (and I know the CAF isn't that old), then absolutely

We're currently sitting at the top of the heap in first place!  But things are still tight, there's only 4 votes between us and being below the cut-off. This one is promising to be a close-run fight to the finish

Run towards the hot tub or away from it?

I'm with Dennis on this one

We're losing a bit of ground, every vote is going to count this year so if you haven't already then please do so. 

[81-er]

We're still haging on to 3rd place, but only 3 votes above the cut-off. Keep those votes in and bribe your mates to vote for us. If we get in, there'll be cake for everyone!*

 

James

 

*Cake is not included with the group build and will have to be purchased separately

[Mjwomack]

Love the small print 🤣

[TheyJammedKenny!]

I love the small print, too!  I've given it all I've got--I've fire-walled both engines and we're still not gaining lift.

[81-er]

We're back to being tied for 2nd place with ANZAC

Darn, didn't see the small print at first. You a lawyer or real estate agent James @81-er?

Have you got the handbrake (parking brake) on?

No, just emulating a Vickers Valetta at takeoff.

[81-er]

We're still holding on to 3rd place, but things are still just as close as they were. A couple of votes could completely change the list of GBs at the top, so keep voting for us!

Are these not all one and the same thing?

Mmmmmmm I’m in, what about a Zwilling F-86, step away from the alcohol now 🤪

Just tick the box to vote for us in the Bunfight thread

 

We're still in 3rd place right now, but things have got even closer (if that was even possible). There are now just TWO votes between us making it or not! So get those votes in for us

 

James

[81-er]

We're back up to 2nd place! Keep 'em coming everyone!

 

James

[81-er]

Just over 90 minutes left and we're clinging onto 3rd place, but only 3 votes above the cutoff! Hopefully we'll survive the last-minute slaughter

[81-er]

Aaaand, we've made it!  Thanks everyone!

 

James

Nice job with assembling this GB!  I'm hoping our turnout is big enough to make this an interesting and diverse one.

Excited for this one. So many choices, and I know there’s going to feel like so little time to build many of them!
