How about a Czech rank?[;)]

Count me in!!!
Love this topic of GB, gives me ANOTHER chance to do a 109!!![party]
Maybe this time I might actually get round to ordering that Boulton Paul Defiant I’ve been yabbering about since the first BoB GB…
Anyways, time to start searching for a funky ‘fringe’ camo scheme for the 109!!!
edit:: Forgot to say ‘Thanks’ for the GIF animator Darson. Real easy to use!!!
As buried as I am in GBs right now, I can’t pass this one up. Put me down for the Tamiya 1/48 Me109 E-7. I’ve been wanting to build this puppy for a while now, just need the motivation to do it.
Thanks Tom, it will be great to be building with you and the others too. Never quite worked out your Krips reference, but it was fun reading about it! Had a bit of a modelling break after the BoB’05 GB, but I’m really back into modelling again. Just…even after cutting down the number of models part built on my worktop (20+) by putting some into the spares/experiment box, my desk is still full!!! I really must learn to stop starting models before others are finished, but then a wonderful new GB comes along…!
Osher: I know exactly how you feel! Darren and others, I found a really good site of the RA in the BoB here, http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/falco_bob.htm It has a wonderful colour photo of the Br 20 as well as a good history of their Ops. Tenente sounds like a good rank to me. Capitano sounds like way to much responsibility.
not to mention the bit of mafia sound it has to it… [;)]
Darren you can take the “something” out and put me down for a 109E-4.
OK guys I think I have now updated the roster for everybody that has declared their build so far. Please let me know if I have somehow missed you out [:I].
I have also sharpened up the GB badges a lot and I’m much happier with them now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers
Oberleutnant J. N. Boutin Berichten für Pflicht!
Ich werde einen 1:72 Messerschmitt Bf-110c bauen.
This is sooo cool Darren! [tup] I love the roster board, ever thought of doing it in parts?, one for the Luftwaffe builders, one for the Reggia Aeronautica and one for the RAF? By any chance did you take the idea from the Red Baron 3d game? It look exactly like the roster in that game.
I am so pumped about this one.[:D] I’ve been waiting with my model since last summer! Nice to see some Italian aircraft this time around!
BTW, Darren, I think you still have my animated .gif you made for me a few months back. If you still have it would you be able to added the new BoB 06 badge to it and resend it to me? thanks a million!
add me to the list, I will have to look in the stack but I think there is Hawker Hurricane in there some where.

Forgot I’ve decided not to buy anymore kits before mid-June, and more importantly, that I’ve already got some kids ear-marked for this GB:
1/72 Airfix Hurricane Mk.1, with photo-etched interior. Yep, I do have filler standing by. If I get through that, I’ve got 3x Airfix Spitfire Mk.1’s to get through too, 2 of which have PE standing by. I’m determined to get a decent Airfix Spittie, it is possible! My last one was juist out of alignement, and looks weird.
Nice to be called a sergeant, seeing as I really am one!
Major Tanky reporting. Hans Hahn 1/72 Tamiya bf-109 e-4/7.
You’re killing me Darren… But, I’ll have to join this build anyway. I probably won’t get anything built for it, but that’s not gonna stop me from joining. Got no ideas on what to build yet, but I’ll see what I can come up with.
Osher wrote “I’ve already got some kids ear-marked for this GB” Osher, does your wife know about this???
Hi Jay I’m glad you like it, I’ve been planning on using it for ages but never had the opportunity. I actually got the idea from an old Microprose game called European Air War which I played ages ago.
I agree, it is nice to see some Italian aircraft this time, although we are pretty lean in the old Spitfire dept at the moment.
No probs on the badge, I’ll do it tonight for you.
Cheers
Having neither wife, not kids, as at the test drive stage for both these builds. One has to do test fitting and dry runs, before committing with the bonding process. Of course, there is always debonder, but not always so good. One thing about the inital build, is that once commenced, no other builds, of the same scale, can be attempted, without potentially serious repercusions.
Of course, I’m pleased to see you noticed my deliberate errors…!
How about Mate or Book?
(actually, I know people in Prague, lovely place)
Darren - I LOVED that game!!! It’s a shame it doesn’t work on WinXP… they still sell it online for like $9. I was thinking that was where I saw that format… but the years and many bottles of beer have clouded my memory. [;)]
Osher What pe set are you planning to use on your Hurricane? I’m using the Eduard Hurricane II set with some tweeking. It’s nice to see another NCO in the groupe.
Cheers

Darren- Id like to join in the fun with a Hurricane MkI
Missed last years build so dont want to miss this one!
Tom- I got EAW to work on my XP computer. I think I just updated with the latest patch.
I request to join to finish an Airfix 1/48 Hurrican MK I that I had started for last year’s build.
