    BOB 75 year anniversary...

    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.. ;-)

      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

          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?

                  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 :P

                      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

                      We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

                        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
