Re: Another Group build suggestion
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?

Re: Another Group build suggestion
August would be good for anti-shipping, as CC SIG guys can get builds done for Telford.

Re: Another Group build suggestion
I voted anti-shipping too as it would be a good overlap for the CC SIG Strike Wing idea.

WOW, as much as I liked the idea of Anti-Shipping I have to admit I'm surprised at its popularity. This is very cool

It is where you replicate the image of the boxart like James Perrins is doing here:

Looks like great fun.

Re: Another Group build suggestion
Well there is a Box art Group Build for CBK members as it is the theme of our Scale Model World display this year in Telford. Any CBK member can join in as long as their build can make it to both days of the SMW show in November. Any one can become a CBK SIG member as long as they like Classic British Kits
There a how sub-forum all about it here: http://uamf.org.uk/viewforum.php?f=48;

Re: Another Group build suggestion
The anti-shipping one could be fun, I have a TBF Avenger that wants to be built, as well as an SM 79 with torpedoes, both would be good for that.

Re: Another Group build suggestion
Well ... I suppose my just-purchased Airfix F-104 will just have to wait in the stash for an opportune moment.
Anti-shipping is fine, though. I have my eye on an Airfix Avenger or Helldiver, or both.
