Hi....
just spotted this...well I have been away you know..

Even though I'm not currently in a position to build anything apart from an IKEA flat pack or two I will be glued to all your progress reports and pics.

Pity no Luft 46 planes are allowed but it will be a cracker...but the Uhu is pretty close.

Good luck to all you nocturnal flyers.

Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter!

I wanted to enter my "Totenkopf" Gotha for this campaign... Doh! But I build it nevertheless! :-)

Hi J-L,
I saw it....stunning.

I imagine we'll have to wait for Project X 2006.
Any Luft 46 campaigns in the offing?

Cheers
Peter

Hows everyone doing on their builds ( or have you all forgotten :-) ).
My Nakajima C6N1-S Saiun (Myrt) night fighter has finally got some paint on it and should be finished in about a week (hopefully ).

No Andy, not actually forgot but I've done no modelling since 2 months or more before Telford, been building a new spray booth amongst other things. I was handed an Eduard Bristol F.2B nightfighter at the show, see the review, so I'm going to build that. I would hope to still build the 219, but I'm in the "Bombs away" campaign and am building a Betty and a Marauder. I'm also in the "Show us your teeth" campaign and I'm building a P-40, with skull markings and I'm planning another entry as well (that one is secret ). So that's 6, new, models to build. I also have several others that I need to finish, Lysander, Mosquito and Val, all on line builds. I also have a special something that I'm building for something, that's a bit secret as well I won't mention the shelves of shame

Hi Andy!

That's a lovely model! Seems to be pretty big also... do you have enough space on your shelves for it? Otherwise you can still send it to me in France!

Not forgotten... but not started also...
My ME jet is still in the box.
You know: Time is the fire in which we burn...

But, are we still going on? How's the rest doing?

Great looking 190 Phil!!!!

HI Phil,

I'm not familiar with the word "chuffed", but it must mean "proud as hell!". Awsome looking plane! Please post more pictures!

Cheers!

İiiiii!!!! Hi guys....well Why didn't I see this Group Build? I am terribly sorry but I just learned there is such thing? Have three questions:
1-Can I still enter?
2-If I can, how can I?
3-Do you accept what if models?
If 1 and 3 are positive I have done some Night Fighters in the time after the beginning of the build. I can build a new one either. I generally like the idea of the NFs. Hmm... I guess I generally do NFs:}

Hi Yalım!

I wanted to enter my Gotha P60 but I got this answer:


Quoted Text

Sorry Ted, your Gotha P-60 doesn't count. Only Aircraft that saw service (i.e. In production, in use, or deployed to an actively serving squadron) between 1939 and Cessation of hostilities for the ETO, May 7th 1945; PTO, August 15th, 1945 (which I'll fudge to Sept. 2nd, 1945 when the surrender was signed).



... Doh!
