Hi everybody,

I am most grateful for the deadline extension, though I feel some pressure. But this is the chance that I will use for the best... I am going to see my family for the weekend, but I will soon get back to my build. I also started to write a comprehensive feature on this build... I think most of you will be greatly surprised with my next update.

All the best,
Entoni

I've enjoyed the builds on this GB, it gives a great gallery and some good learning, if there is a KOTS III I'm in, just have to pick a model.......

Greetings Gentlefolk of the Early Aviation forum!

It has been a good & spirited GB. We do things a bit different here and the helpful members make that all possible here. This community has a great ethic to help each other and it becomes evident as the builds get more detailed and more inscale in appearance. We are not all on the same level but there are plenty of helping hands that will offer a bit of knowlege & encouragement.

Nicely done all of you. Ribbons will be handed and as promised a few goodies to some fine modelers. No Aeroscale staff can compete here. Just members.

The criteria is a completed well built kit and helping others. While they can't get goodies in this I want to thank the fine staffers who participated with whole hearts. Model On!

Stephen,
Minor observation; my WNW Albatros DV was completed and "unpinned" almost a week ago.
Great campaign!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank You Stephen and Aeroscale staff for a very well runned campaign.

Some great looking builds in the gallery! Especially nice to see so many non- WWI builds.

Hello Stephen:

Thanks so much for hosting the KOTSII GB. I enjoyed it and always find it motivating to build and finish a kit, albeit the Nie.17 didn't quite make it. I always learn and enjoy the camaraderie experienced here on this forum.
I am looking forward to another GB.

Best

Many thanks for a great campaign!

Even if I entered late, it is always a pleasure to watch the great skills of the early aviation model builders here on Aeroscale!

all the best

Got to ask the question, anything "brewing" on the next Group Build? can't imagine a cold housebound Winter without one but maybe I need to rethink my location?!?

Cheers,
Lance
