2013 Dambusters GB *** April 27 START ***

[AndrewR]

My arm could be twisted to build Leonard Cheshire's Mustang III...

[Jagewa]

Yep May is the month, couldn't be any other.. Our 9 year is a Dambusters baby, May 17 is his birthday

Do I need to ban "water broke" jokes now ?

Bouncing baby, jokes too...

[Gregers]

Seeing as someone sat on my Dambuster Lanc two days ago and I'm not sure if it's repairable I may be in on this. If I can repair it I have the 'Grand slam' kit in the loft. Please consider me a 'probable' for this one.

All the best.

Greg

[Narayan]

I'm interested in this one.

Dambusters, 617 Sqn, has been scheduled on the Calendar for May but I added a few days by starting on the last weekend in April and ending on the 1st week in June, gives you a couple days over 5 weeks and no excuses

Enjoy !

[lancfan]

There are now eight of us and the GB has been confirmed so drag out those Lancaster & Vulcan kits (and any other subject on the list) and join us on April 27.

Lancaster B.3
Lancaster B.1s
Mosquito FB.6
Mustang III
Lancaster B.7

Oxford T.2
Canberra B.2
Canberra B.6
Vulcan B.1 (1a)
Vulcan B.2 (2a)
Tornado GR.1 (1b)

Great idea, you've just convinced me to take a shot at a group build. Should I sign up explicitly somewhere, or will this post do the job?

I'll be building either a 1/72 Tornado GR4, or a 1/48 Mustang.

I'll have to buy decals for either, either http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48075 or http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72093. The rest of the sheet would never be used. Is anyone interested in teaming up on the decal sheet, that is, planning to build anything but the Tornado in 72, or anything but the Mustang in 48 scale? Half a sheet of decals will be looking for a good home in the very near future

[lancfan]

No Rob you have declared your interest here and that is enough, welcome aboard.

Rob if you want the decals for a Tornado off that sheet, ill be happy to sent you some if you wanted as i have the sheet in 72nd i know im never going to build all them Tornados. The offer is there my friend

Been thinking about this one, and i have said i may do a Tornado Gr.1 or Gr.4 but im starting to think that this may be a good time to start my 32nd Tornado, know i wouldnt finish it but would give me a good reason to start. Hmmmmmm what to do

Seven weeks to go and there is plenty of room for more builders to join in.

I'd like to add my Airfix Tin-Triangle for this GB. I need a big, Olympus powered kit fix with no rigging...

[AndrewR]

I'm planning on building one of the Mosquitos, using the Airfix kit and a few aftermarket bits and pieces.

Cheers
