I put myself down as a "Maybe" but I'd be a "non-counting" member as I'd be working on an already started model, one that has been half-built for several years now -- maybe this will force me to finish it. I do have progress pix to show work to date. It's a resin kit, very ugly process ...

If that's OK, otherwise I'll not be in ...

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

I said yes before so I will say yes again :-D

Either a Mil-26 Halo or a Ka-52 Alligator, or maybe both??

I am a definite starter...not too sure about finishing as my GB track record is pretty bad...but if fans and VTOL count as a helicopter, then I have one of those oddballs from Anigrand that I'd like to do...if it's not eligible, I'm sure that I can find another contender in the stash...maybe a Hasegawa Hind-A...?

Edit: the Anigrand oddball is an X-22....
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

I really enjoyed the last one so count me in. It won't be as big as a Hind this time though!

I'd say the X-22 would be eligible, four lots of whirly things in fans... :grin:
What do others think?

Note: on Google search, "X-22" gives you lots of information about some jolly nice golf clubs. These will not be eligible for the GB. "X-22 plane" hits the right subject :)
