Fine by me

I'd proberly enter 2 ,the bigger one and one in 1/72 scale

Njaco · 01-05-2009, 12:57 AM

PTO sounds nice! Might get me to finish my Wildcat!

Lucky13 · 01-05-2009, 04:28 AM

And I have a few Corsairs and a Dauntless....gives me a reason to build some USS Yorktown CV-5 and/or -10 birds if it's later in the war.

North Africa sounds interesting too, why not make it a Med. GB....?

Wayne Little · 01-05-2009, 04:47 AM

Seems we are gonna have some good times coming up in the modelling department!

Lucky13 · 01-05-2009, 05:19 AM

Let the good times roll you say Wayne?

Wayne Little · 01-05-2009, 06:33 AM

Absolutely!

muller · 01-05-2009, 09:35 AM

A PTO GB would give me an excuse to build another corsair and maybe a jap bird, lots of inspiration there with Waynes IJN builds!

109ROAMING · 01-05-2009, 10:13 AM

I'm keen for both a med and pacific group build somwhere down the track

Airframes · 01-05-2009, 03:54 PM

Any and all fine by me. I know absolutely sod all about the PTO (well, not much anyway!), so I should learn something along the way!
NOW! All of those new members who are modellers, AND the guests viewing who aren't yet members, but who are modellers, get your rear ends in gear and enter! Don't be put off by all the technical chat etc., that's to be expected, just get a kit, build it, and enter.
The 'rules' are dead simple:- Any Luftwaffe aircraft that was in defence of the Reich, between late 1943 and May 1945. Any scale (only the popular scale chosen so far, but if smaller/bigger all the better!), maximum of four models per entrant. These can be in all, or one or a selection of the scale 'classes'.
As far as skill goes, the Categories are:- Cat 1 Expert (God!), Cat 2, Experienced, intermediate modeller, Cat 3 Novice/beginner etc. It's up to you to choose your Category, no-one will pressure you.
SO COME ON! Let's have some more entries in!
So far, not counting Wayne and myself, there are 15 members registered as entrants, which isn't bad in such a short time. But, there is plenty of room for more and, as Dan said, there should be at least 20 entrants in this, the first 'competition'.
Just think, you'll be taking part in a unique event, where modellers from all over the World will be placing their efforts on the World Wide Web for all to see, and judging, as such, will be done from photographs! Has it been done before? Possibly not. So it's a great big heap of fun, and recreating history in minature, as well as learning and sharing.
Hope to see some more entries coming in, and good luck and happy modelling to all!
Terry.

muller · 01-07-2009, 03:57 PM

Me, still waiting on my FW190 to arrive. I want to finish my Corsair first before i start it, i'll post a build thread then.

Lucky13 · 01-07-2009, 04:32 PM

I think that I'll save my Bartels crate for later chaps, the G-10...might do a wee "group build" with a few of his birds at a later date. I think that I'll do the Dora-9 that I have instead, the JV44 13....

lesofprimus · 01-07-2009, 04:49 PM

Would love to see it Jan....

Lucky13 · 01-07-2009, 04:54 PM

Would love to it Dan. Have decals for two of his crates anyway, just need to find another two 13's, his Red 13+= and more info on his G-10 Yellow 13.....the one that he went MIA in, which would make it 4...
