Here's my entry. Cyber Hobby 1/700 HMS Invincible. I've only built one other ship in my life so I'm not filled with confidence but it'll be a good challenge. It only comes with 4 Sea Harriers and 2 Sea Kings. I'm not able to find any 1/700 Sea Harriers. Anybody have any ideas? Also no deck vehicles. I'm going to have to do some research.

Ships of the British Flag GB.
Posted by modelcrazy on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 11:38 PM
Since I felt the UK ships need their time in the sun, this group build is for ships of the British Flag. After all, the British have given us so many great technical ideas. RADAR, Asdic (Sonar), Centrifugal flow jet engine, Etc.
Any ship, boat, sub, any era, any scale, plastic or wood, which means warship, patrol boat, merchant, ocean liner, submarine, even a what if Dunkirk civil rescue craft will work. This also means sail, both warship or otherwise. The Mayflower, Beagle, Cutty Sark, Discovery, Etc. The RMS Titanic, RMS Olympic, M.V. Oriana, RMS Lusitania, RMS Mauretania, you get the idea.
Rules
1. The GB is open ended starting 1 Aug 2018. It’s a long running group build since larger kits can take a while. You can enter you ship from 1 Aug 2018 through July 31 2020 but forever to complet it. At least until I leave this mortal coil. 
2. Must have been under the British flag as some point during its lifetime, including war prizes. I.E. Z-39 prior to her handoff to the US, Prinz Eugen, again, prior to her being transferred to the US, U-110, French 20-gun Romaine class frigate Etc.
3. Any era, any classification, any scale.
4. OOB, AM, PE and scratching are all just fine.
5. Partially started (glue bombs Wink) are fine.
6. Crossovers are fine
7. WIP pictures please.
8. And of course, have fun.
