I think it is worth adding that the proposed GB is not specifically aviation orientated, after all there are scirocco cars, Maserati Ghibli, Lambourghini Huracan, Pagini Zonda.

I thought I'd already signed up or this but it appears not. As well as a few windy aircraft I have a Maserati Bora and a NASCAR Mercury Cyclone.

We have 11 members ‘signed-up’ for this. With such a broad choice of options, there must be some more of you with something suitable ‘in the stash’ that could do with getting built :).

You are right, that's why I would like to join as well.
First stash subjects coming to my mind are a 1/48 Revell Hurricane or a 1/144 Tornado F.3. A slightly less obvious choice would be the1/48 Revell Rafale. So it seems I have enough choices to adapt the final decisions based on the available time 😀
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped... :grin:
