This is a groupbuild for vehicles that took part in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom (the Gulf Wars). The dates will run from August 2, 2008 to February 28, 2009. (To coincide with the dates of the first Gulf War) Entries could be from any country that took part in either war but have to be either a piece of armor, or aircraft. The rules are the same as most other GB's and are as follows:
. The kit must be unstarted or with a minimum of parts assembled.(As long as there is no paint on it yet.) 2.Any scale, any manufacturer, all after-market parts and scratchbuilding is more than welcome.
3. Please post pictures if possible.
4.You must complete your build before a badge can be awarded.
5.Multiple entries are not only allowed but encouraged!
6.Crossovers are fine with me.
7.Your entry must be an aircraft, or form of armor.
8.Your entry MUST have taken part in the combat that took place between Iraqi and Coalition forces in either the first Gulf War, in 1990-91. Or in the second, from 2003-present.
