| You two in different dresses is a nightmare bad enough, without you turning up in the same outfit....

| The dates etc are fine by me chaps, whatever the majority think. Do we know how many are participating yet? And Jan, you mentioned a name being required for this scheme; how about 'Unternehmen Flug Brucke'? (hope I got the spelling and grammar right, haven't used German for years!). Just that, 'Operation Air Bridge', in German, fits the theme, and it's an 'air bridge' bringing people together from around the World. Corrections/thoughts/views welcome! Terry. |

| Sounds good to me old drinking buddy....you're German's one h*ll lot better than mine! Edit: I'll take in the beginners beginner class...with these two machines, Heinrich Bartels "Yellow 13" in which he went MIA December 23rd '44 and "Yellow 13" from 15./JG53, have no idea about who the pilot was etc...both in 1/48. BTW folks, was just thinking, should it be deadline after which you can't enter any more models, or should we just keep it open throughout? I mean, if you finish one and feel that you have time to start and finish another one, you can do that....opinions? I feel that they have a somewhat easier camouflage than JV44's 13, better to ease into things than do the blotching right away....well, Bartels do have some, but not as bad as the '44 bird!

| Your choices look good to me Jan. As for a deadline, I can't see a problem leaving it open, as long as the 'last' entry is posted on, or before May 7. The only possible 'complication' might, and only MIGHT, arise, if a potential winner of a section has the full compliment of models, as opposed to that category's other participants only having, say, one each. Not a problem for me, but how do the rest of you feel? I would suggest that it's about now that the 'rules' should be ironed out, agreed upon, and posted. Also, the judging and/or voting system needs to be finalised, so that all are in agreement, and no arguments/misunderstanding/discontentment etc can spoil what should be, and, as I see it, is intended to be, a fun thing, bringing people together with a common aim, AND recreating a little piece of history in miniature. I suppose this all needs to be 'boxed off' by 31st December? Are we going with 'Unternehmen Flug Brucke' as the Group Build title? (Our German/German-speaking friends please advise on the accuracy, or otherwise, of my interpretation here!) Again, comments/opinions etc welcome! Terry. |

| Should we have a forums choice poll as well just for kicks? Like the peoples choice at exhibitions?

| Riiiight....which are the "rules" that we can nail down right now? The scales from 1/72 to 1/24, maximum of 4 models each and in any scale, models to represent aircraft flown by Luftwaffe in the defense of the Reich from September '43 to VE-Day '45, start January 1st 2009 and end May 7th....

| Good so far, and I like the suggestion by Heinz. Given that there is enough interest and 'interaction' from the general forum members, maybe a poll will be the best way to decide on the winners from each category etc. As Wayne said though, 'K.I.S.S.' - don't want to get too complex and unweildy! |

| I think there should be a panel of non-competing judges, not the forum membership that decides the winners... We could make another winning model under the catagory Forum Favorite or Membership Choice Award.... The guys who would be judging should be non-competing Senior Members/Mods who know what they are talking about.... We need to get a listing of all participants and then go from there....

| And for the record, I will be building the 1/32nd scale Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 "Red 1" of JV44, flown by Heinz Sachsenberg and submitting it in the Beginner/Novice Catagory... Speaking of that, what are the requirements for each catagory as far as skill goes, and how many/what experience levels will there be??? Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert???
