Count me in. Not sure when, or what, but I think I'm ready for a quick little Blitz. I've got a couple small armor pieces I could do, or possibly ANOTHER Mig-15, which I think would be my third Mig-15 blitz.

I was going to start this Saturday but for some reason the nice law enforcement officers in Somerset think my time would be better spent doing doing a Driver Speed Awareness course on Saturday :oops:

So a late Saturday or early Sunday start looks good to me :-D building some form of 1/72 AFV possibly even a scratch build conversion for a Churchill that I’m thinking of.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Not the camera on the downhill run on the 303 before the bakery near RNAS? :oops: That was the last place that got me, although about 8 years ago now!

And scratchbuild, Blitz? Are you sure? :shock:
Best wishes

A303 Illminster by-pass, sneaky mobile unit hiding on a flyover. :frown:

I was thinking of scratch building a Churchill 3in Gun Carrier as the turret is just slab sided, but I have a couple of days to give me time to see sense :-D

Hmm, IIRC this might be a never-before used excuse for a Blitzbau :)

Ah, I remember that one...... as you say, a difficult one to spot!
Have fun at the Awareness Course :ha:

@Splash. Here in the States , if you cause an accident or speeding, you get a “civil infraction” citation. Attend a day long class on defensive driving and the event is not reported to insurance carrier or get points on your license. Oh. The ticket fine is $150 USD.

It’s similar over this side of the pond you get the option of a fine and points on your license or pay less than the fine, attend the training and get no points.

I think it’s a good idea and is more effective than just a warning.

Do you think if I get caught speeding on the way back and use the excuse that I’m rushing home to start a Blitz they will let me off? :-D

Heres a crazy Idea, would anyone be mad enough to tackle either a 1/72 SR-71 Blackbird or 1/72 Sukhoi T-50 on a Blitzbou?

Ummm...let me think :roll:

NO! :-D :-D

PS Don't forget to inform your insurance company of the course; a colleague of mine didn't and was unable to claim when an uninsured driver hit his parked car :shock: That was Admiral, who own loads of other insurance names as well :evil:
