I'm, of course in and hopefully my Bf-110 arrives soon. I plan it it to be a quick build too.

I'm in with something 1/48th.
Probably Academy's P-38 which comes with parts for a 'J' Fighter, 'J' Droopsnoot, 'L' Pathfinder, and F-5E Photo recon.
I'll be doing the straightforward 'J' fighter version, with a nose full of guns.

Revell's Bf 110-G2/R3, and Tamiya's Beaufighter VIF, are possibilities.
Currently on bench: ICM 1/72 Tupolev Tu-2

Oh yes, 1/72 Fujimi Bf-110 as a Night Fighter C-1 with OWL decals, and a scratch build 30mm canon pod. Roll on the first..

Like Tobyc, Airfix Whirlwind. :-)
Sometimes the talent consists exactly in that: try five dozen times when others stop at three dozen...! (F.Labelle)
I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

I was going to do a whirlwind but no matter as I will do that now in the Blizbau, I shall instead do the Airfix Mozzie that served either with 248 Sq, Banff strike wing or 45 Sq Kumbhirgram, India in SEAc, still undecided.

Cool! I look forward to seeing this built as I contemplated it for this GB too. Please take plenty of photos so we can see how it goes together.

Standing by with the new Airfix 110 with ExtraDecal sheet.
