How would you have won the war? Imagination GB 2011...

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 2:57 PM

Because of all the interest in my original post of "How you won the war..." there is now a GB that has spun off from it.

The premise is this: if you could travel back in time and participate in WW2 what "job" would you have liked to have been in?...model your "office"...the only limit is that the job could NOT have required rank beyond that of a 2nd Lt...ficticious markings on your model are encouraged to portray your unique personaility...

This is what I have so far on who is in and what they are building:

1. Hans Von Hammer, 48th Fw190

2. Medicman71, 48th Hellcat

3. carsanab, 48th Me262

4. Reasoned, 48th Bf109

5. deafpanzer, 1/16th "Screaming "Eagle" paratroop fig

6. agentg, 48th Corsair

7. oddmanrush, 48th Spitfire

8. bondoman, 35th Decima Flottiglia MAS

9. p38jl, ???

10. joeviz, ???

Oddman has designed the badge...ends on Jan 1, 2012...

...let the games---and imagination--- begin...

Sweet, was hoping this would start soon. Need something to get the modeling juices amped again....I'm in a slump.

The AT-6 was also used in spotter roles and light bombing.

But yeah, what better way to win the war than to train good pilots?

Get it right: Vance is in with an incomplete Ho229, my efforts to sabotage the flying wing program obviously saved many allied aircrew from a horrible fate...

Five got airborne and shot down two Zeroes. One pilot, Phil Rasmussen, shot down a Zero with only a 50cal., took approx. 500 hits, and lost his brakes, rudder, and tailwheel. And he did that in his pajamas

I did something similar while just wearing boxer briefs and socks---and this was during a Russian winter...

This is going to be a fun GB... this is the kit I am going to build. Remember I am not a sissy like you guys flying planes or driving tanks...

If Manny is really going to build something, I will probably give myself a mohawk haircut... Tongue Tied
