GB 52 End Date Extended to **March 20**

[Crimea_River]

The scheduled end date for GB 52 is Sunday, March 6. Only 3 of 17 entries finished and a couple not even started.

You know the drill guys. Squawk if you need a little extra time. Silence means you'll either finish on time or have abandoned your build. If no-one pipes up, we'll shut her down in two weeks.

I think I'll make it but it will be close. Defiantly not giving up.

Ditto. Neutral Grey is on. Just need to mask and do one final battle........attaching the wings

It's gonna be a close squeak for me, I think!

I should be ok, gonna spend plenty of time next two days to try and get mine finished.

 

[Wayne Little]

I'm gonna put my hand up for an extra week to be sure.....

 

[CATCH 22]

I'm almost sure I can't finish in time. A week or even two more (until March 13. or 20.) gives some hope at least....
Time is obviously not my best friend. Never was.
But it's up to the judges to decide.
Cheers!

I thought I was going to make it but they switched to 10 hour days at work which is cutting into my modeling time so I'll be joining in with the others and asking for an extra week

I'm realising on a daily basis how big this B-17 really is! The tail is bigger than a Me 109's wingspan!
I think I'll join the growing chorus of "please, sir, may I have more?" I'll go with whatever the majority decides, though.

Let's tack on a week and see how that works for everyone. I'll modify the subject header accordingly.

Wonderful! Many thanks!

Oh and here I am in full blown panic mode and finished it up last night !

 

[N4521U]

Yeah works for me.
Now I can screw it up trying to make her a Dirty Girl!
Does this always happen with the Big Arse builds?
?

 

[Crimea_River]

It happens with almost every GB so watch for these emails that I usually post 2 weeks before the deadline.

 

[Bustedwing]

Mostly for me it was distractions.......like my kitchen exploding. Not that I ever go in there but it is where the War Dept goes to make stuff to feed me so you kind of have to give it the attention that's warranted if you know what I mean.

 

[Crimea_River]

Hate when that happens.

 

[fubar57]

Got home last night and just finished doing the touch-up painting. Gloss coat later. Tomorrow is a kinda washout; out of town until at least 4PM. Decals in the PM.

 

[Crimea_River]

There are still a few stragglers with nice builds that should not be rushed. Let's add one final week. First post will be changed to reflect this.

 

[Mainly28s]

I will be varnishing tomorrow- my current pot dried up, and a new one is arriving tomorrow. I won't complain about an extension, though- there are some really nice ones in the wings!
