A What if GB based on the idea that WW2 carried on into 1946. Open to anything in service at the end of the war, designs cancelled during the war that did not enter production or anything being designed at the end of the war whether it entered service or not.
This GB is for any Carrier from any Nation that carried any type of Aviation eg:- Jets, Prop and Choppers. Either OOB or Enhanced, Any Material (Resin). Preferably New Unstarted Kits or kits under 10% completed.
WHO NEEDS ENGINES ? The 2017 GLIDER GROUP BUILD. [angl]
Its been a few years since I hosted a group build and I feel the need. Hope the early posting gives people plenty of time to come up with a subject (I also hope there is enough interest !)
Run time- January 2017 through to December 2017.
Anything that did some of its flying unpowered will qualify. (So a Me 163 would qualify, as would a guided bomb which glides to target)
Some subjects to whet your appetite:
DFS 230
Gotha GO 242 & 244
Me 321
Ju 322
Kokusai Ku 7 & Ku 8
antonov A-7
Horsa
Hotspur
Waco
and of course, anything civilian pre- or post WW2. Revell LS8-A and LS8-T, ASK-21 , Due Discus spring to mind.
As to what is out there model-wise, there is still 8 months to seek out and buy ![snWcm]
GB begins on 1 Aug 2016 and will run for 12 months. End date being 31 July 2017
Any submarine related subjects are welcome wither sea or air, any era. Anything form Bushnell’s Turtle to the Virginia. From the earliest air search and surface search to modern anti-sub assets.
Crossovers OK, and consider doing a separate WIP thread in the appropriate forum so others who are not following the GB can enjoy your fine work.
Any amount of AM, PE, scratchbuilding or number of entries you desire.
Have some fun, this is not a contest.
Several badges are available for completing a build if desired.
Keep forgetting about this thread, so while i am here.
