The Mikester Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) On behalf of your moderating team, Mikester, Lock n' Load and johnsan, welcome to the second Battle of Britain Group Build, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the epic event. We expect this one to be a lot of fun. Rules: Any aircraft that took part in operations on the Channel Front from 1 July 1940 to 30 November 1940 is eligible. Any scale, any level of detail you like, and in keeping with the spirit of a group build, kit should not be more than 25% complete. Oh, and have fun. Prizes: Assuming we can round up some stuff to give away, prizes will be awarded in the form of a raffle at the end of the GB. If you complete one or more entries you'll be entered in the raffle. If you'd like to sponsor the GB please let one of the mods know. Sponsors/Prizes: Isaac: Hasegawa 1/32 Bf 109E Mikester: Tamiya 1/72 Bf 109E Jugjunkie: 1/48 Tamiya Bf 109E Erwin: Sheet of 1/32 decals (TBD) Here is a list of eligible aircraft.

erwin Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Hi, The Brewster Buffalo also played a (small) part in the battle. The 1/32 nd Special Hobby kit has markings for a plane with Nazi-killmarks during the battle. http://modelimex.eu/BigPicture.aspx?obr=/S...MPMS32013_L.jpg Edited April 2, 2010 by erwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick_Nevin Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mike, humour me, how long has this got left? (Got a build on, realised I ideally like doing one at a time, really want to enter here, trying to work the maths.) Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
