    ***Alarm Start - Unternehemen Flugbrucke!

    As promised, here's the first entry for the group build. BUT, remember, this is a 'thrown in' entry only, and will NOT be included in the judging/results.
    The idea was to do something just a little different, not only in the choice of subject but, for me, the choice of the teeny weeny 1/72nd scale.
    The intention is to promote enthusiasm, hopefully a bit of inspiration, and to launch the first Group Build for the forum.
    It is possible that this could also be the first group build done entirely over the Internet, Internationally!
    Possibly also the first ever modelling 'competition' to be judged solely on photographic presentations, as opposed to the actual models being available for inspection.
    And to think, it had to be a Jockanese Swede to come up with the idea!
    Hats off to Lucky!!
    So, here's the first of what I hope will be many entries.
    The 'Hobby Boss' 1/72nd scale Focke Wulf FW190A8, finished as a II/JG26 machine, abandoned after the unit's departure from Melsbroek, Belgium, September 1944.
    Looking forward to loads of pics, from ALL you modellers, as your builds progress.
    Happy modelling, and good luck to you all!
    Terry.
    PS, from what I've seen on this forum, most, if not all of you, can do MUCH better than this!

    To be honest Terry, I maybe many years younger than you but I doubt I could do better than that. Well done!

    Looking forward to the rest of the group builds (even if the idea was from a Swede (although they do have some delectable women))...

    Good Lord, Terry...you did a heck of a job on that, and in such a short time!

    Well done!
