When talking elsewhere about Lanc VIs a Lancaster GB was suggested
Aircraft of the Eastern Front
USN GB (Land or Carrier based)
Aircraft of the Silver Screen
Captured aircraft
Spanish Civil War
CBI/SEAC |
Will that cover the 'Spits' next year, bearing in mind 'next year' is only a few months away !

Can we have more than one GB at any one time?
I'd like to do a Hurricane alongside the Spitfire one.

In theory, there isn't any reason why not, but what's the rush?
We could do a Hurri build later in the year possibly, although we have done one in the past (the reason we're doing another Spit build is because the last one was when Hornby were in receivership so it wasn't an Airfix exclusive GB).
I've just realised that all the 2006 builds have disappeared from the GB calendar... have to sort that out!

Not to mention certain recent releases!

I'm sure your BBMF aircraft could slip in under the radar

I think there's a strong possibility that next years annual summer Campaign Special GB may be the Battle of Britian....subject to voting of course.
