Yay!
April works for me, as I have a LEM to build and a GB to Mod in March.

I'd go in for April. Give me time to find a kit and finish some that have languishing for 10 years.

Just a reminder to get your Stringbags, accessories, and refs out, tidy up some space on the bench ... we start 30 March !!

I'll put the forum up in a day or so.

I am going to try one of each, both with the Eduard PE set, and Xtradecals markings .... I might change my mind 'tween now and then ....

Nice idea, and I've got one in the stash - where it is, indeed, too good to languish.

If I can get back at my bench I could well be tempted by this one.

I need participants to check in or this may not fly.

I see 9 votes but only 7 affirmatives and 2 possibles. One of the affirmatives hasn't been around in a while so we're at minimum and there's been very little reaction since we posted it.

With a start date of the 30th, I need to see some frantically waving hands ....

I, BTW, am in so that's one ....
