While Goose does his very best `Benny Hill` impression at the local hospital, :lol: , perhaps nows the time for all the participants to start declaring their intended builds for this GB.

I`m going for a VF-111 F-8 Crusader. (I`m still trying to source decals for this one in 1/72 if anyone can help?? ;) )

Tanker,
Some of that list tempts me! Sadly cannot afford any of it!

I will initially be taking to this GB, a double build using 2 versions of Fujimis line of 1/72 A-4 Skyhawks in the shape of USMC A-4M and OA-4M. All going well towards the end, i may be able to add a USMC F/A-18D as well.
Arabest,
Geoff.

Maybe worth starting a list to see what people are building?

As of this present moment I am unsure! :lol:

Well I didn't know what to build and with money being tight decided to try something totally new for me. So my entry is a 1/144 F14.

I have loads of options so i'll see what everyone else is doing and build something different. I do plan to build a few Corsairs during the GB, which I was going to build before this GB came up.

Still looking to do a VF-111 Crusader in 1/72.

The Crusader bit is easy, it`s the decals that are a pain to find... :grr:
