I mentioned this earlier. I would like to do a "What if" group build. I read about the possibility of Boeing re-engining the B-52 fleet with four big turbofans That inspired me to start this GB. I read about the Navy replacing the #2 turret with a VLS system or many other things. My brother did a P-38 with Corsair radial engines and made up a story of how a P-38 pilot emergency landed at Vella la Cava island (cf Black Sheep) and had to have the radials installed to get back to home base.
So, Here Goes! The rules are these.
1. the "what if" must be a PHYSICAL alteration (not just markings or paint).
2. the builder must tell a story (real or imagined) to explain the alterations.
3. the model may be of a real prototype that was never built (e.g., USS Montana or proposed but not yet realized alteration such as the 4 engined B-52 or the Lexington as the Battle Cruiser instead of the CV)
4. the model may be anything that moves: Car, Truck, Plane, Ship, Tank, AFV, etc.
5. there must have never been an actual living prototype of your model.
6. Crossovers are fine as long as these rules are kept.
Due to all of the GBs going on, I will set the start date at April 1. April Fools Day!
No starting before that. The end date will be Dec. 31
