This GB will be decided on popularity. 5+ in the roster lets say 6 months or so. 10+ is the upwards of a year.

I have never participated in a GB before, but since I build 1:72 AC, almost exclusively, I think that I want to join in. I have one question though.

Must I provide a step-by-step WIP, or rather a beginning post of the assembly start and then the finished product, with maybe an occasional update?

Either way, I'm glad to see 1:72 getting some attention.

Blueline, be warned, they are highly addictive. The norm is to post as much progress pics as you can, when ever you get to a stage that you thing worth showing. You don't need to show every item to glue together, just when ever a certain stage is complete.

Even though some of the less enlightened builders on here Wink may be shocked at whats possable in 72nd, it is pretty well represented on the forum.

I have a simple queation, I see some people asking if an cross-over is allowed. What does that mean?

I'm halfway through my airfix Kingfisher so Wip's will be starting there. No paint, needs gap filling and added parts.

I'll be doing the MPM Me 262A-2A/U2. I'll start it after the 0/400, so should be the start of April. I only got this last month and haven't decided on a dio yet, so will give me time to plan one.

This is the kit.

Just put me down for a TBD. Not sure if I'm going to build from the stash or use it as an excuse to get something else :)

I don't think i have either. I have wanted this variant for ages but never realised anyone had ever done it in this scale until i saw one on e-bay recently. I think its OOP and its quite an old kit, but it looks ok.
