 Posted: Wed 06 Jun 2007 13:57 pm Post subject: What should we do for the next Civil Aircraft Group Build? |
 |
|
Time to start thinking about the next Civvie group build. The Airliners have until the end of the month to run, so if we start planning the next one now, it might kick off some time in late summer or early autumn.
We've had a few suggestions, so we need to narrow them down. Pick which one you fancy from the list above (Rich - I've excluded the Annie purely on the basis that we've got a military build of it coming up at some point).
This poll will run until 20th June.

In which case I vote for the DH Rapide, as my alternate!

You've still not quite got the hang of this voting thing have you? We spend two weeks seeing what people want, then I rig the results so it ends up being something else...

A Dakota build would do me nicely. It's one of my favourite aircraft

Exactly, so I figure my choice is redundant! I'm beginning to realise why this is the AirFIX forum.

Well, I would have made the Rapide too but sadly I had to vote for a 737 as it is the only kit in the list that I have.

Haven't we just had an airliner GB? Still I could find a few cardboard toilet roll tubes and some double sided sticky tape - puts me more than halfway there for an airliner. If I can just avoid falling asleep through bor.......ZZZZZZZZ
Just kidding!
Honest!
Hey Adrian, ever heard the expression "Whipping boy"? Now you know what it means!

Okay, okay. I've set up another poll, this time with the Dragon in it. Can everyone who's already voted in this one go and vote in that one now please?
The ironic thing is, I don't have any of these kits, but I do have a Rapide!

There was no reason to change the poll, Adrian. You could have kept it as it is and had a Specific GB just for the Rapide. Just my thought on the subject....
