Another Group build suggestion

[Chris]

I'd pass on a spit build, my Rhubarb build is a spit and it will be my 5th spit this year. Tired of them now.

Armor could be ok, but it depends on the subject matter.

Nobody but me wanted a rising sun build, oh well.

[SJPONeill]

I was helpful (probably not...) and voted for four:

Century Series GB (Anything of the F-1xx series of aircraft) F-107 and or 103
Anti-Shipping GB (I think the name says it all) Tsetse Mossie
Close Air Support GB (A ground pounders Best Friend) Hs-123 or A-10K
Night Fighter GB (Anything with antennas or designed for night fighting) Ju-33G or Northrop N9M whiffer

[AndrewR]

Spitfire GBs should be banned. There are always enough people building the dam things to constitute a GB anyway.

I won't argue with you on that point but I added it for two reasons.

1- Other than my Messer-Spit I've never done one and the kit I'm building is fantastic so i wouldn't mind doing another. I have another "Reverse Lend Lease" in mind for that.

2- Strictly to make all you Brits happy. Being around here for as long as I have I've noticed that a lot of you guys seem to have a thing for this aircraft (Old Tonto) . So I figured what the heck

1 The Spitfire is a National Icon
2 The "Dam Things" are 617 Sqn Lancasters
3 You can never have too many Spitfires
4 It's a national icon
5 We ought to have a P51 GB at some point next year, as a reciprocal gesture

That said, the P40 is a very interesting aircraft too, so I'm happy with that.

Cheers

P51 is a good suggestion...........made by every kit manufacturer in every version going in a gazillion of schemes!

Seeing how these were all my suggestions I would vote for each and every one of them, but its early Chris. The poll hasn't been up fr 24 hours yet. Give it time it might change.

Thanks for your participation, In the end I hope we have something you will participate in

I'm doing a Zero for the Pearl Harbor build, so that's why I didn't vote for Rising Sun here. There's always 2012, 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway.

That's a great idea

Quite fancy 'anti-shipping' - summat like a Mitchell or a Boston, with a nose full of guns

That was what I was picturing when I came up with the idea.

[JohnRatzenberger]

I put in one vote only, for Anti-Shipping.

Us CC SIG folks might want to do something Strike Wing-ish as part of it ...

Indeed - a good idea, John.

Absolutely...I vote for a mid-2012 Midway GB...there's an easy dozen aircraft involved:

Wildcat
Buffalo
Vindicator
Avenger
Dauntless
Devastator
B-17
Catalina
Zero
Val
Kate
Jake
Pete
Emily
B-26

...+ a ship two for those bent that way...

[AndrewR]

Looking at the current results

Anti-shipping is the most popular, with either Spitfire or P40 as the runner up.
Battle of Midway possible for 2012.

Since we have a Rhubarb GB already scheduled, that caters for Spitophiles

Should we focus on whether there is sufficient support for Antishipping GB this summer? August?

Cheers
