Although, I am currently involved in 2 other GB's I really wanted to do one myself. And since this is October and I really like Soviet Union subjects, I propose a Soviet Union Group Build. The suggested particulars are below. (other suggestions are highly welcome.)

Kits - Any scale or subject. They must have Soviet markings, not Warsaw pact, and must be of a subject used between Oct 1917 and December 1991. Crossovers and partial builds are ok. 

Start Date - Now (if enough interest) through June 30, 2010. (June is the month final resistance of the Bolshevik's fell in 1923.) No cut off date to join at this time.

GB Badge can be added once subject is completed and pic's posted. WIP pic's highly encouraged.

Proposed GB badge is below. (Will provide a smaller version once finalized.)

Ok, this one is looking good.

                       One of the requirements for the build is Soviet markings. But remember any subject or scale and no closing date (for now).

See Ya

I should be ok. I have two armour GB's and two aircraft in line first. But the last of these ends the start of may, so worse case i have two months. But i never know if i might get deployed in the mean mean which would deffo mean me being out, and i have had a few GB's i have had to drop out of because of work.

I have the Hasagawa Hind E kit that's on the list for building next year and would fit in perfect for this GB time wish. Does anyone know when this entered service and if it would be eligible. I had planned on a Dio with two BMP 2', which i think are ok, just not sure about the Hind.

Love the badge.

According to my research the Hind E was first seen by the West in the early 1980's. Seems to have seen a lot of service in the Soviet-Afgan war. So your good.

Should I put you on the list for this one?

That sounds good, don't put me on the list, but as soon as i know i can start it in time i will drop a line. I would rather do that than have to back out. But i will keep an eye on what others are doing in the mean time.
