discussion BOB 75 year anniversary...

[Alan 45]

I know its a bit late....

BUT ! Next year is the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain! Any chance this can be added ? It has loads of scope

edited to bring it to the attention a bit better.. ;-)

 

[monica]

oh yes i think it should,

That is actually a very good idea.

I S'pose it could be squeezed in some how. What is the general consensus about a twelve month SIG parallel to the Battle of Berlin build...?

Again given the subject and the time allowed, again I would like to see more than just a single model for this one as well.

Should we add this to the calender? I'm game if you are.

Great idea about more than just an aircraft I'm all for that ,

My parameters would be multiple authentic aircraft or factual background diorama, important meeting at british command or German command or any crash dio or captured airman , observer corps dio , bombed street or airfield

 

[stona]

I think that it's a splendid idea.

I don't know if I will take part, but is a great idea!!

We can build the both bands? Or only the British one?

 

[Guest]

Great idea! I'm in!

I'm easy. British, German, Italian. If they took part in the Battle of Britain you can build them.

With the proviso that it is fairly obvious that it is the Battle of Britain. I think that the bombed street could be more associated with the Blitz, but then I wasn't there

Laurie or Steve will be able to tell us, both were bombed

 

[PaulTRose]

whats the rules?...........for instance if we want to do a spitfire it must be a MK 1 than was in use at the time not a MK V which would have been '42

 

[PaulTRose]

i think it would be a good idea to have it as a 12 month GB to run alongside the 1/24 GB.......lots of people are not going to want to do such a big aircraft (ive decided not to since it will take too long and i would not have anywhere to put it when its done and i cant really afford it anyway) so it would be something for everyone else to join in with as an alternative

I think the answer is in the question. If you are gong to do an aircraft for a BofB build, it had better be one that was actually in the battle of Britain. July to October 1940

 

[colin m]

How did we miss this ? Anyway, great idea, I'm up for it.

Didn't the blitz start with the BoB

No Paul this is not to run along the 1/24 GB this is on its own , so it can be any scale or format as long as it's from May 1940 ( some say July ) to October 1940 , it has to be anything to do with the Battle of Britain not just aircraft so it gives you a big scope to work from

[tr1ckey66]

Erm, I think I've got a bit of a start...

But I've got plenty more where they came from!
