Hello everyone!
My feeler post recieved the minimuim number of interested people or me to watn to do this, so here we go!
This GB focuses on aces, notable pilots, and incredible aircrews who fought and flew for axis powers from 1938-1945.
RULES:
-What is considered notable? As a general rule, if they've got a wikipedia page, they are in. If you can read about them in a book, they are in. If they are an ace by their countries standards, they are in. If they complete a long or notable tour of duty or highly specialised mission, they are in. Even if they are not an ace by their nations standards, if they are noteworthy in another aspect, (i.e. Hans Rudel) they are in.
-The person in question must have fought for an Axis power or Axis-allied nation.*
-The aircraft MUST bear the markings of that pilot or aircrew.
-Any front, any time within the alloted period.
-Any scale, any material.
-Already started builds are accepted, as long as you haven't started painting the main airframe.
-Please, post WIP's.
-Aftermarket laden or straight out of the box, all that is fine.
- The build will run from today (April 2, 2018) to December 31, 2018. (If people are not done by that point, I wouldn't mind stretching it out into 2019)
-EDITED 1pm EASTERN US TIME, April 13, 2018: figures and busts, should they meet the above requirements, are now permitted as well.
BADGES:
*some odd cases could be considered. For example, though the Soviet Union is considered an allied nation, if you can find soviet planes or soviet aces that took part in the joint invasion of Poland, that might be considered an Axis-allied pilot.
