Is there an allowance to use filler to "clean up" the gap usually found at the wing-root/fuselage?
or is this verboten?

Ok, I am interested in this idea. I have a couple of jets that I would like to do. I assume jets are ok?

I think jets are good. I'm thinking of this...

Just a head's up there IS a Jets GB after the Allied Aircraft one, May 1st- Sunday Sep 6th 2015.

Is this GB for any aircraft then?
Or do we all have to build the same type -eg jet, single engine prop, multi-engine prop etc etc ?

The initial proposition by Evan was anything anybody wanted, didn't even have to be an aircraft.

Yep, Evan suggested: cars, ships, figures, aircraft, whatever

Ah, very nice Geo, I plan on doing the same with a Sabre in that GB.
Might have to find someone from the Renaissance for that Wojtek!
Well.. I want a marble figure of myself of 1/1 scale then. Is anybody keen on?

Cheers again guys, and great to see more interested!
To clarfy: yep, any subject you like... even a 1:1 scale Wojtek if you like! ( Just Not a 1:1 scale Evan, that would require too much modification
)
Andy, would agree with those guidelines:
-Antenna wires, brake lines and seatbelts (including scratchbuilt) allowed - that's all.
-Schemes and markings optional.
-Build end: December 31, 2015
If anyone disgarees with this, let us know, otherwise we'll take that as the rule.
Couple of questions though:
-Do we want to allow OOB parts from other kits of the same subject (if better than subject kits parts) to spruce it up?
-When do we want to start? I would suggest February 1st.
Cheers for the feedback so far, let us know if yas are happy with the rules as they stand.

I would need someone saying 'Ug! Ug ug!' my friend!

So if we're not allowed to reshape parts, what about removing mold seams and such? The Hasegawa Corsair kits have a nasty mold ridge in the forward fuselage, would I be allowed to remove that?

Please, no 1:1 figures .... one Jan is enough !!

So guys, sure, you can putty gaps, remove marks, file or fill ejector pin marks etc. That's normal for any build. I don't think using parts from other kits qualifies though. Nobody is saying anything about this though.

Agreed... filling and sanding are (unfortunately!) a normal part pf the process... so naturally these are allowed.
About using the spare OOB parts, I'm currently doing this with an OOB Harrier GR.3 project, scavenging various better detailed components from a pre-made GR.7 I bought at a flea market to improve the kit's deficiencies.
Maybe we should just keep it simple though:
Kit to be built 'as is', with the exception of the previously mentioned details.
That good with everyone? Also the start date of 1st February?
