tom ; i am going to do an airfix 1/72 ju 88

JWB, did Bader fly the Spitfire in the BoB?  I thought he had only flown the Hurricane and got the Spitfire mkII during the winter of 1940-41.  Maybe I'm wrong...

Dave, Your picks are good, I am okay with what is left.  The only issue is where can I get a 1:72 Do17 kit?  Airfix makes one but is supposedly for the E varient.  I did a quick search but couldn't find one for the P or Z varients that are on the decal sheet.  Which would you prefer, I would like the Z decals. 

ok i was just wondering but i might be doing a ju 88 aswell as my hawker hurricane

I don't believe the FW190 was in service yet.  If you want a German fighter look to the Bf109 E.  I believe the E1, E3, E4 and E7 variants all played a part in the Battle of Britain.

Ryan don't sweat the small stuff.  It's a heck of a lot better than some of the spellings I get.

Mike welcome to the build it's good to have you on board and it's also good to see someone doing a heavy.

Cheers

Darren - being Kremps is undecided as of yet for her kit, and everyone else seems to be doing mostly Spits, Hurricanes and Bf-109's I must submit an additional build of the fringe type.  As of yet I have not decided on it and hopefully I can do so without too much dilly dally... But the list was just a bit too homogenous for me and thought I need to spice it up... 

P.S. did Kremps REALLY shoot down two German Eurofighters over London in '40?  She was telling me that one last night...

Ryan welcome to the build and I have added your name to the roster on page 1.

Just to let you know that this build doesn't actually start until May 1st so hold off on that Hurricane of yours until that date.

Also, the top scoring ace from the Battle of Britain was Sgt J Frantisek from 303 Squadron with 17 confirmed kills.

Cheers
