    Neil's Battle of Britain Pilots- BoB GB

    This is going to be my contribution to the BoB GB.

    ...at least something inspired by this (clearly posed ) picture.
    I’ve been a BoB nut since seeing the film in 1969 aged 12 (I suspect I am not alone on this forum in that regard...), and this is another long mulled-over idea that this GB has kicked me up the butt to actually realise, but I won’t be starting until the DH88 Comet is done (can't be long now).

    It will be just the figures, at 1-32 scale, using mostly Airfix Multipose Germans and Afrika Korps from my spares box as a basis.

    Got to say I’m looking forward to it
    Cheers

    What a great idea. I'm sure you'll do a fine job. Turning those arms, legs and bodies into B of B cricketing pilots will be fun to watch.
