Thanks chaps  If it goes the way the WW2 Twins did, it'll be a very busy one

It’s probably going to be impossible to pick which two entires are my hard entries and if I do make a third or dare I forth what they will be.  Trumpeter su24 in the stash is currently the standout candidate most likely to be in the 2

Just be careful of Enzo seeing talk like that, you know what he'll say

Might it be a phrase with the words 'build' and 'all' in it .....

Thats the one!

Yep plenty of time to lose my sanity and overcommit. Looking at the callender I suspect I’m going to actually do several twin jets for other gbs so I think I will have to plan next year

We've now got confirmed dates: 09/08/2025 - 30/11/2025

This GB has made my 2025 GB Planner.....though admittedly not in any "official" capacity.  I'll be using this opportunity to try to push my F-4EJ Kai over the finish line.  I do also have a MiG-25RBT sitting there awaiting completion as well.  My OV-1B is slated for the Vietnam GB.  Hopefully I can get at least a couple of these long overdue WiPs finished this year.  Good year for twin engines.

Revell Tornado from the stash with some old Modeldecals. The kits decals may or may not be usuable and so I have ordered a new set from Revell UK, which is coming from Salzburg at a cost. I have various C Scale and Flightpath goodies that do with it. 

I also ordered some new Eduard ejection seats and Air Graphics nose that I picked up at Telford. Depending on time, I might also squeeze a Hobbycraft CF100 that has been sat in the stash for a longgg time. There are some decals that could go with it, that I forgot I had until looking through them. Roll on August

Sound like you're pretty much all set Martin, and sounds like a great project too.

[81-er]

Those sound like great projects to me as well, Martin

Thanks guys, it is nice to be using up stuff I have had for years. I am trying to cut down on buying new kits, and most of my purchases are as replacements for older kits, eg a Special Hobby Barracuda instead of a Frog/Novo one. This way I can kid myself that the stash is not actually growing. 

[Chuck1945]

This is another where deciding just which twins to choose is tough, first choice will probably be a Lightning and, if not too over committed to other GB entries, a Buccaneer.

[81-er]

All I'm going to say is you KNOW what Enzo would say...

HI James @81-er Craig @modelling minion 

 

Funny thing that I did place my vote for this GB ... but never signed in 

 

Please count on me! ohhh BTW, I won't give a list of my possible candidates... I'm afraid Enzo's motto will make me do something crazy.

As you voted for us in the bunfight we will let you off this time Andres.  You have to be very carefult what you give away on here as otherwise people will have you building half your stash at the same time! Whatever you build will be most welcome my friend.

Judging by how many more votes we ended up with than people pledging support at the start, you're far from the only one, Andrés. Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll bring something interesting to the table

Currently planing to do the rhino from this sheet at alert, and cross kitting a FineMolds F-4 to make a slatted version. What could possibly go wrong. Chris

I know !! It's like peer pressure in high school... Come on, everyone does it! ........ It's hard not to be tempted when you're among such nice people who share the same madness.

Looks like a nice set of decals. Oddly though the F-104 looks like it’s a Belgian machine going by the fin flash. Otherwise it all looks U.S. operated.

Definitely Belgian.

Is is a nice set, typical Wolfpack very limited location diagram and the zipper is a dual key Belgian one.

Well, I had a look through the kits that I have that were my late step-fathers and found a Hasegawa Lightning that looks rather nice .... 

 

Or perhaps I should go browsing .... which could end badly!
