    An (almost)GB for a bit of fun

    OK, this isn't a Group Build but I hope that some of you will take part.

    Sometime in November, just for a bit of fun and remembering that this year is the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, I want as many of you as possible to go out and buy a 1:72 Spitfire, Hurricane or ME109 of the period (if you are not sure if a kit represents a BoB aircraft, shout up and someone will let you know. If anyone can suggest appropriate kits then please do.

    Rules: It must be 1:72, it must be one of the three types listed above, your build goes in here, everyones together (what a mess that will be). That is it.

    HAVE FUN!

              Okay,I'll give it a go as long as I can find the stronger lens for my magnifier! A 1/72 fuselage is like a 1/32 drop tank for heaven's sake.

              Cheers

                I'm in, but if I'm doing something that small I want to make sure it fits together well, I'm going for Tamiya 1:72 - Supermarine Spitfire Mk I

                  Oh shut up moaning Steve lol. However, it does make me wonder where I put the box of lenses that came with my headband magnifier.... Oh why don't I think before I post. I want to do a Hurricane I think.

                            I like it Graham, and it'll start after i get my birthday present (Magnifying Visor, woop!) so 1/72 scale will be good for me. Not long done the Hawker Hurricane so it looks like the Spit for me too.

                            Have fun, John

                              Evening all, would like to join in the non GB GB but need some advice on what aircraft to buy, any manufacturer that stands out from the rest. Never built a plane before so not worried if its allied or axis. All help gratefully accepted.

                              Cheers all
