Welcome to the Allied Aces Group build!
We are underway!
Rules:
- Starts April 2nd, 2006 and ends September 30th, 2006 (6 months!)
- Open to anyone interested in building an AIRCRAFT flown by an ACE (5+Victories).
- Any scale
- AM, PE, resin - what ever you want to put on your airplane to make it more authentic.
- Have fun!!!
- History on the ace you choose is highly encouraged!
- This covers all Allied Aces from WW1 and WW2. That means, British, Canadian, American, Russian, Australian, French - anyone who fought against the Kaiser/Austro-Hungarian Empire for WW1 and for WW2, Nazi Germany, Japan or any of the axis powers.
- Generally, an ace has been defined as a pilot who has shot down 5 or more enemy aircraft. For WW1 it started at 10 but for WW2 it was brought down to 5, not sure why though. For this build I am going with 5 or more victories.
To help you out with your choice of aces there are numerous websites out there with lists, two of my favourites are these:
