Hello Chaps,

I’ve nearly finished my Hurricane group build entry so am thinking of my next build.
With the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings a month away I’d like to build something to honour that.

I’ve got a few candidates in the stash but can’t decide which to go for. I’ve put up photos of the candidates so please chip in with your suggestion :thumb2:

Either

Or one of these

Or

I’ll put up a full build thread so you can follow along if you want.
I do have a few others with invasion markings but would probably take longer to build than the few weeks left.

Cheers,

Geoff.

Nice. Why don’t you suggest a Group Build for the Anniversary of D-Day. I’m in

Thanks for the suggestions chaps :thumb2:

I did think about proposing a D-Day GB but wasn’t sure if it would be a problem with the other ones ongoing :thinking:

However nothing ventured etc I’ll pop a post in the group build proposals and see how it goes :smiling4:

I’m still going to build one of these beforehand so keep the suggestions coming.

Geoff.

Geoff Thanks I appreciate it there will be more than you think to join in. Hope it makes it. If not I may join you anyway in building a Aircraft in honor of D-Day.
 
I was hoping you were going for a DC3. (Guess you were leaving that for Steve aka @Airborne01 - him being a crazy jumper and all that!!!)
But I guess from the two choices - Ooooooooo - I guess it'll have to be the 'Mossie'!!!!
 
Typhoon would be my choice, it just evokes D-day more so than the others

Miko (how about a D-day Euro fighter Typhoon)

So x2 for the Mustang and x2 for the Typhoon so far :smiling4:

I didn’t include the Dakota Doug as I think it may need a bit longer to bash it into shape.

I have posted a group build proposal in the group build section so please take a look and join in if you wish :thumb2:

Thanks for the suggestions chaps but now we are going to have a D-day group build I’m going to wait until it’s starts to build one of these :thumb2:

Good choice. Me as well I have several candidates so I will wait till the GB gets closer. Thanks Geoff for getting this thing together
 
Hmm.. I'm stuck between the Mosquito and the Mustang. let me just toss a coin..

Tails it was! Mustang then.
