I'm going to poll to see who would be interested in taking part in a "What if" GB, most likely to take place later in the year after the Africa Campaign GB.

The concept, come up with an idea for a "What if", make a little story to explain it, then build it using any Airfix model, any scale, civillian or military.

e.g. a F-111 model in British squadron scheme and colours to show what if if the UK had actually purchased and operated the F-111 as a replacement for the cancelled TSR.2.

This poll will run for 14 days.

Presumably just about anything for OSL would count here? I might have a crack at another PzIV, this time with some added Tauchpanzery! Think

All the best

I might be tempted to do another TSR.2

So long as 51% of the parts are from an Airfix kit you can, but the result has to be a feasible/workable item.

51%, Why the extra 1% lol

Ok Rich

Its the Upper and lower hulls and the Running Gear and road wheels. I was thinking off adding some Airfix Arty or making it a Armoured Personnel Carrier

If this does get the go ahead, I'm thinking of making a Spitfire Biplane using the Mk Ia from the Spitfire 70th Anniversary set and the spare Mk Vb wings from the same set.

I'd be interested, my offering would be a Fulmar in Danish Markings as a FAIREY P.4/34 (L.M.I). Serials 93-104 were under construction at Orlogsværftet as O.V.231-242 for the Marinens Flyvevaesen but none were completed or delivered before 9.April 1940.

I voted "no". Not because I'm at all interested, but because I feel I'm over-committed at the moment.
