Ron's 'Anti-Aircraft' 2018 G.B. suggestion.

[tr1ckey66]

I'd be interested in this too if the GBs are far enough apart. I've already signed up to the Tornado and (possible) Panther GB.
Thanks

I don't care much for time scales for member's suggestion builds, so, if there are enough takers for this, how about starting and finishing as, and when it suits the builder? As long as it's during 2018 of course!

So is that a yes or a maybe....

That would be a yes from me.

Cool, I'll try and fit an AA gun in the mix.
Isuspect I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway. Can the AA gun featured not be pointing at the sky?

Not sure what you mean, Paul. But if what you're planning fits in with the initial do's and dont's (Designed and produced to bring down aircraft) then it can have a bucket(s) hung over the barrel(s) if you want.
What I don't want is knocked together stuff on the back of a pickup, supported by a pallet, sort of thing. The subject must be 'Built for purpose'.

I like this idea Ron, plenty of things to choose from. Emm let me get looking.

Got a kit Ron so count me in.

As much as I agree with the thought, let's not start down that road please.
I know that these builds are on a perpetual calendar but it makes it a lot easier for all with a date they can write on the wall.
Start date 1/1/18 duration of 12 months?

That's 8 deffo's...nearly there!

I don't have a kit in the stash, good excuse to buy this:

I like Meng kits, and I haven't done a post WW2 German AFV build yet.

[spanner570]

Does that mean you're in Bob?

[Mr Bowcat]

Hell yeah.

[spanner570]

Hell yeah.

Good man yer'self!

8 coming out to play.....

2 more and we're off and running!

What I'd like to build is a flak 37 (designed as an AA gun) but used as an anti tank gun. I intend to build only the gun, carriage and crew but the barrel would be aimed at the horizon not st something at 15,000'. Does this still meet the criteria? I think it still does

The very fact that it is a flak cannon, also known as anti-aircraft gun, I would say yes. It was designed to shoot aircraft down. Just like 88. That too was a flak cannon that saw wide use as an anti tank gun.
For the sake of the build you could just point it at the sky, or ..... Being towed....
