As I await the extensive (and expensive) set of PE and masks for my brand-new, new-tool, 1/72nd Dornier 17 Z from Airfix I was wondering how I could make my build blog any more exciting than it already will be...I mean it's hard, because how do you make a Manny WIP any more exciting? Well the truth is you can't... :FM:

BUTT then it dawned on me: I can let others bask in the glory of my WIP by including it in a GB and inviting others to join in...yes, I know, it's brilliant. :dancing:

Anyway, I'm opening up the GB to ANY Airfix kit and I'm putting out me feelers to see who all else wants on this freakin magical mystery blitzkrieg...??? :tank:

And counting... :writing:

1) Manny - 1/72 Dornier 17 Z with all the trimmings
2) Fermis - ?
3) VANCE - 1/72 Swift
4) JimD (Prof of Death) - 1/24 Typhoon
5) Portman - 1/72 new tool Douglas A-4B Skyhawk
6) CallSignOwl - 1/72 Bf110C w/ shark's mouth
7) Ksaarni - Fokker F27 Friendship 1/72 in Finnish Air Force colours
8) BlackSheep214 - 1/72 C-47
9) mostrich - ?
10) Borg - 1/72 Whirlwind
11) Lyle - 1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb

=======================================================================

Any Airfix kit, any scale...

Starts: March 15, 2015
Ends: December 31, 2015
