Sorry for the delay, but at last...

General concensus seems to be for a themed GB, so those are the options I've chosen.  I've gone back over the last couple of pages in the suggestions thread and come up with the above list.

I've also included an "I'd rather do a single subject GB" option, so if that wins we'll have another poll to decide what.

This is a multiple choice poll - you can pick as many options as you like.  The poll will run for 7 days from 16th October.

Eight votes, but no comments?  Come on peeps - let us know what you've chosen!

And seeing as it's currently in the lead, can someone let me know what CBI stands for?  I'm fairly certain the Confederation of British Industry haven't been involved in any airborne warfare...

I have opted for both US Navy aircraft and CBI/SEAC, have a couple of the VJ Day sets that need to cut into a bit.

We'll be steering clear for a bit. We've got so many ongoing projects that we want to work on and that we need to get finished, plus the civil GB and we know that as he grows  crib  Tom is going to get a lot more demanding, so it'd be unfair to vote and influence a build we probably won't be able to join

I fancy the Eastern Front GB as i have a number of contenders in the stash. However, it does not seem to be a popular choice so far.

I voted for Silver Screen aircraft ( I hope this includes TV shows). I've got a Dominie that wants building.

And I did exactly that except only voting for Eastern Front...

Read, think, THEN hit the button  

If the mods can finagle the votes then I would have also ticked PRU.

My vote went to Spanish Civil War but if I'd have marked a second it would have been Eastern Front.
I have a Henschel Hs123 for the Spanish choice if it comes about.
Looks like a neat little kit.
Best

Me too!
And I think the alternative version is from the Eastern Front.

Maybe I’m daft; but is that anything flying with a camera, or is it a specific UK unit?
Does an Hs 126 fall into this category?
(I have one in my stash)

I'd say anything with a camera Jesper, so your Hs 126 would be fine.
