Re: Cherry Popping Group Build- Warning Order
Okay, I'm in with a few possibilities. I keep running into aircraft that I'd never built before in my scale or any other. It looks like my Air Forces will be dramatically increasing next year.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Cherry Popping Group Build- Warning Order
Situation- There are multiple members here who have never built a kit of a particular mainstream aircraft type or from certain mainstream aviation nations in any scale.
Mission- Build an aircraft kit, in any scale, and correct that shortfall
Execution- Beginning at 0001 Hrs Zulu 01Nov2021 or soon thereafter, begin construction of a type of unstarted scale plastic model aircraft kit that you have not built before. Ever. Finish to your own satisfaction within your own timeframe. Construct another or more if you feel so inclined.
Command & Signal- I will ramrod this thru, no need for any chain of command… All communication signals will be conducted via the SPAM forum
Service and Support- You’re on your own sons. Finance is by whatever your situation and the kindness of others allow. The internet is a superb reference source for those questions that may arise. Support your local hobby shop if you’re still fortunate enough to have one. If not, support your favorite online retailers. Dial 911 for any unfortunate workbench injuries…

Does it have to be a aircraft? I got several ship kits that have been staring at me for a few years.
March as one, Don't look back

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Yes, this GB is for aircraft. I think next year I’ll run a GB for all other subject types.

Oh very nice! You have a true rare one off there John! One of aviation’s great “ could have been’s “ like the TSR-2 or Valkyrie. That kit fetches a pretty penny nowdays

I also have the original kit, I'll have to compare them and see what the difference is with the new tool.

I’m looking forward to seeing this project of your John. The Arrow was an incredible aircraft.
