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
So a late Saturday or early Sunday start looks good to me building some form of 1/72 AFV possibly even a scratch build conversion for a Churchill that I’m thinking of.

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

And scratchbuild, Blitz? Are you sure?

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

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

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

@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.jssel wrote:@Splash.

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?

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?

NO!
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 That was Admiral, who own loads of other insurance names as well

Stay tuned .. I have a small simple one colour alas many wheels (all separate) tracked vehicle begging to be built...
I will be staying firmly within the confines of the boxcontents . Once I check box contents out I will be back. (the first box checked was missing a few bits..
