Ron's amazing Anti-Aircraft GB: Chat

[papa 695]

So can I have...
Only kidding Ron. I'm looking forward to starting this GB in January, got the kit ready and its build for purpose.

Sweet!!!
I'm torn between three different kits so I'm not going to decide just yet. Also this gives me the possibility to change kit if someone else is doing the same?

All three of them are pure breed AA guns, albeit with German names! (no surprise there... hehe)

I also commit to present said AA gun in a small diorama/base to give it some perspective and life. For me this is all about making an effort in doing something extra, and not just one of the daily kits I tinker with in front of the TV every evening. Since this is my first GB ever I look forward to seeing your contraptions, the discussions and the fun it's going to be!
The only hard part now is to refrain from starting the build before 1:st of Jan...

Sorry for the delay in firing the starting gun on this G.B., but life got in the way.

All chat on this thread please.

I've tried my best to clarify things, but as a gentle reminder, the subject must be - a pure breed, ground based, A.A. system or weapon (see above answers) So hopefully I can now be left alone to quietly enjoy building my contribution.......:smiling4::thumb2:

....so let's go - Well, all 12 months, anyway!

Cheers all,
Ron

I'm fighting a 1/35 schnellboot right now, but think I'll jump on this build next....

Same here, I'm doing my E-100 Flakzwilling after my Panther GB, leaving the most complicated to last... My scratch built balsa wood "catch the pigeon" contraption.
Are we being scored on size and calibre of the guns? hehe...

I just realised that this GB can utilise all those binned or abandoned air planes that were wonky or otherwise crap and just spread the parts around our glorious AA/Flak guns!
If I had a pile of discarded plane parts I would make a mound of such parts and just park my Flak gun on top of it! Not realistic - but funny! :tongue-out:
