Hello All,

Having failed miserably on my first and only GB so far, is it possible to join this one and have another go?

I will attempt a Revell 1/72 Ju87B.

Regards,

Steve

Pretty sure the Heinkel 115 was used as an air-sea rescue aircraft by the Germans. Matchbox made one I believe.

AFAIR the 115 was only used for mine laying. The He59 was used for ASR.
However, I believe, some 115s were brought down by the RAF during the Battle period whilst they were laying mines.

On the Allied side we shouldn't forget the venerable Shagbat; the Walrus, used for ASR

Of course, but you'll have to work at it to fail as miserably as some of us ... :grin:

Thanks, I think two and a half years late qualifies as a fairly epic fail :sad:

A 'Flying Pencil' penciled in, how appropriate.

I'm in with the Defiant-the Do17 is already too far along. I bought the "starter version" as the BoB one was already sold out so will have to look for alternative decals.
