Okay my friends, I'm in.

I'm going to use this as an excuse to buy a Mossie. I believe they were used in D-Day and I do have a great love for the lovely old bird!
I do have one question thoughl, it says 'Usual group build rules apply'. I don't know what they are, can you either list them or give me a link to them? I wouldn't want to break a rule by accident. Thanks!

Model must be new and unstarted, unless otherwise stated in the original suggestion.
You may start the thread build thread as soon as the section is opened, but no building until the start date.
Befor the build starts you need to post photos of the box art and the sprues and any other goodies you plan to use for the build.
Loads of photos and a bit of text to tell what you are doing.
Ask as many questions as needed.
Have a look at some of the previous Group Builds - GB's - and you'll get the idea.

Thank you!

I've been trying to find a Mosquito with invasion stripe decals but I can't find any modern kits that have them so...
I'm thinking of buying a Tamiya 1/48th scale kit (or even the Revell 1/32 scale one) and either getting an aftermarket decal set of the stripes or painting them myself.
Would this be within the rules or do I have to only use specific kits? (I'm fine with either, I'm just checking before I buy anything)

Yes this is with the rules. Any Model kits of any size and aftermarket decals, parts are exceptional.

I’m debating whether to join in on this too, probably with a Sherman BARV, as I’ve got the Resicast conversion kit for it in my stash (but no base kit to use it on). Not sure yet, though. I have other things to finish first, and was really gearing up to build another kit once I’ve finished those …
Morn Geoff,
Well, I looked through the stash and actually found one kit that would fit the bill. I guess I'll join in too. 90% of the stash is from the other side of the conflict or WWI...

It would be great to see you join in Jakko. A Sherman BARV would be a very interesting to see built :smiling4:
Great stuff Allen, glad to have you along.
Looking forward to seeing what you have found in the stash :thumb2:
Geoff.
You might as well. I thought about a Sherman wading but the conversation kit I have calls for it to be used with the Hobby Boss kit which I have but the wrong one. I’ll probably go with something else. Jakko you ought to do the Sherman looks like your the King of when it comes to building them.
Be nice to see you.
ll, I`ve had one of these in the stash for quite some time,so now seems a great opportunity to actually build it!!:thumb2: ...........
...... Rather looking forward to it:nerd:.
