    Heres one ive fancied for a while , how about the pre cut flying balsa kits by KeilKraft , Guillows etc . The ones where you have to make the framework then cover with tissue , theres loads to choose from and prices are quite reasonable. If you want to just keep it as a static and try and make it as realistic as possible fine or if you fancy throwing it through the air then thats also fine (as long as you show pics of it after the landing!)

      That could be something very different and challenging Tony, great idea. Back to the beginning, from the Preplastic Age when men were men and sheep were scared?

        So only open for Kiwi's and the Welsh then.


        A good idea though I will agree. The build not the sheep.

            We can dedicate every year a GB to an specific country (the less habituals could be nice)...Chine, France, Korea,.... Then you can build what you prefer! Planes, tanks,...

                I like that idea a lot, I've had my eye on a few after market decal sets that would work well in this.

                  Not sure that you want to plan things for many years to come. One year at a time is the way to go.


                  It was a good idea though,

                    Well it could be tried for one year, don't have to plan more than that - if it works well it may get proposed again, and if it fails, well, it won't.

                        Due to an 'inspired' comment in another thread, how about this.


                        From a song. Any genre, war or peace. Military or civil. Just as long as it is clear what the song is.


                        Think of Grumpa's crocodile rocks dio. And you will get the idea....

                                1945


                                The last "Weathering Magazine/N11" talk about that. I not bought it yet, but I think is a good idea. The last projects and camouflages on the WWII.


                                Interesting items and research possibility.
