Too late to fight GB 2010 (Update 27/05/10)
Posted by Scorpiomikey on Thursday, March 25, 2010 10:11 PM

Ok seems theres some interest in this so im reworking the rules.

1. Aircraft only

2. Must have been intended for one war but didnt see combat till the next (eg bearcat made for ww2 but didnt fight till korea)

3. Any Scale

4. As much after market as you want.

5. Pipe dreams and paper ideas welcome (eg Ho229)

6. Start Date NOW End date. Last entry in by Christmass Day (December 25th) Last Finished model End of Febuary (Gives final entrant 2 months to build)

This GB will be fairly open and free. and the main idea is to have fun with some aircraft that may have not met combat or didnt reach their intended TO.

Let me know what you want to build and ill put you down in the list

So final word. have fun

Maybe i should include, this includes aircraft variants. So for example the mkXVI spitfire (i think that was post war)

If the end date is later in the year, I'd be in.  Monogram 1/72 Bearcat.  Problem is this build is very similar to the WWIII build going on right now.

I'm an idiot.  I meant the Endgame 1946, which has been over since dec 2009.  Maybe make the end date near the end of the year?
