                        Awesome John, a Pogo. I got you down.

                        BTW, is that an Aurora kit that your friend did, that's great looking!

                        I guess I'm in with an Aurora XFV-1, 1/48.  Here's an XFY-1 from my display cases that was done by a friend who has passed.

                        I like the badges, especially how you replaced the Harriers with the F-35's.

                        I got you down mate.

                        LOL, I didn't do that but whoever did it did a good job.

                        Nice. I have had a thought and my options are 5 Harriers and an Fa 223. But seeing as i am already doing a GR.9, put me down for the Airfix 1/72nd Sea Harrier FA.2. I can build the 2 together.

                        I like the badges, especially how you replaced the Harriers with the F-35's.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        OK here's the official thread.

                        Rules, otherwise, there'd be chaos, mayhem, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

                        1.   Starts, April 1st 2020 and ends Dec 31 2021. If you don’t, finish keep working on it. It doesn't bother me.

                        2.   Anything that is listed as a VTOL, STOL, or STOVL.

                        3.   Helicopters, of course, Jump jets, tilt rotors, short field observation or bush pilot aircraft, ETC. Let me summarize.

                        De Havilland Beaver
                        Fieseler Storch
                        Piper Cub
                        V-22 Osprey
                        Harrier
                        F-35B
                        YAK-141
                        YAK-38
                        Super STOL C-130

                        You get the idea, there are so many variations of us humans trying to get in the air and back on the ground in a short space. BTW, standard carrier AC don’t count. If it requires and outside force such as a catapult and/or capture wire, then NO. It must be something designed in or attached (JATO).
                        Alright, enough of that.

                        4.   WIP pics are required.

                        5.   No more than 10% already started. Not 11%, LOL, like I would turn you down.

                        6.   Fun, fun, fun, if you’re not having fun than I’ll kick you out, back into the wilderness and cold.

                        That’s all I can think of right now. Pretty simple.

                        Badges, I like lots of badge choices.
