1 Y; 2 Y; 3 Y; 4 I completely understand this is WWII focused, but I see a lot of non WWII items in recent purchases. If we go with a single subject, a build can be either a campaign or theme. A campaign will be limited to a certain time and place while a theme can be construed as any era. An example of a theme would be any twin engine fighter. This would allow the gadfly segment to participate on a wider scale. I've built planes from Eindecker to F-16.

That's easily accommodated in the current format and there are already precedents so no issues. If we get enough people to vote in agreement with this theme then it will be on of the builds.

So far, it looks like split builds are not popular. Hopefully we will hear from others.

1942. Many battles happened in 1942 across the globe. It held many turning points in the war. From Midway in the Pacific to North Africa and on to Stalingrad. The Channel Dash etc... The USAAF started building an offensive force and started early bombing runs. It gives everyone a wide selection to choose from Catus Air Force on beyond.

I like this idea. So much happening all through 1942. As Churchill said, "the end of the beginning".

I like the splits when we pull up tight specific time frames. BoF BoB etc... two to four months that can be quite tight on.makes and model types. It then gives alternative when you don't have anything to ware to the ball.

4 I wouldn't mind doing a GB now and then that's outside of the ww2 time frame or that at least is subject suck as say "Twin Engine" for example, with no time line

rochie · Feb 12, 2021

I agree Glenn some more none WW2 themes would be great

Donivanp · Feb 12, 2021

And maybe it's just me but there for awhile it seemed every other GB was BoB, I don't mind BoB but it needs to be one a year at most!. Just me saying. I'd like more open builds like the 1942 or the 60's or the Pacific.

4 So far I think it's great the way it is.

Thanks for the input guys. Great stuff. Regarding the "other" comments, these so far are more related to the GB themes, which we'll deal with when the poll comes out. Right now, I just wanted to see if there was a drive to change the format and, so far, there's general agreement that we should stick with the same schedule, renewing every 2 years, and with the majority saying split GB's should be binned.

The only thing I could say about the split builds is there have been a few where I would of had to buy a kit to fit the category but because of the second option I had a kit in my stash.
