      Does under a tenner mean new from a model shop or can it be an unstarted one from a charity shop.

        I think to level the playing field it should be retail price in a model shop. it is only fair to all others. I for example have never seen a model in a boot sale or charity shop.

        It would also be unfair if most buy in a shop and some one "scores" a 1/200 Bismark in a boot sale for a tenner.

          And this is why I would say that it should be a "Big gun pulled behind a vehicle." as it makes things so much more simple.

              Sorry about that Tony.My choice won't be out of the ordinary as Ive got a 1/48 Lancaster and B24D in the stash. so it will be one of those.

                  It could be fun though, and it is "towed"!

                          I think that most of us know prices roughly.. if the price is on the box....no worries.

                          I recon if someone tries a fast one they will get busted .

                            heres a question.............if i can do something that qualifies for two different GB's which are running at the same time how do i do it?.....cant post twice in two places cos that would be silly............or is it a rule that something can only be entered for one GB at once? (ive got something that works for the tenner and the desert GB's...............just trying to save money and building time lol )

                            sorry for being a pain lol :P :P

                              I have the same "problem"....

                              I'm looking for a plane and the wrecked GB.

                              Two in one...?

                                I don't want to confuse anyone, Ian.

                                On the 1/24 plane SIG, can the model be painted on a NOT real scheme and markings...? O_o

                                Is only an idea by the moment, I'm planning all my options for the GBs next year :P
