PTO Build Choices

[BombTaxi]

It's only a small obsession, I'm sure I can cope with it

 

[Wildcat]

Would it be possible to in some way add ribbons for each completed GB? Like the one below, the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, but as I said a ribbon instead, of course I suspect that they look different for the commonwealth, right? Opinions?
Just though that it could be fun, if it's too much hassle just ignore this post...

Jan, this wasn't really answered before, but I think it's a great idea. A ribbon can be awarded to every member who takes part in a group build and could either be displayed under their avatar or siggy.
BTW do Australian or New Zealand based a/c count in this GB? I'm doing an Aus based spit and maybe an OTU P-40.

Both of those places seem to stick up out of the Pacific, or thereabouts Andy!
I guess they'd qualify mate.

 

[Wildcat]

Thanks Terry, but I wasn't sure if we were sticking to combat types. There's a beaut looking RAAF OTU P-40 I've been hanging out to build for awhile.

Sounds good Andy!

Also like the idea of a ribben underneath the participants avatars

 

[A4K]

Yep. Agree with Daniel on both counts.

 

[Heinz]

perhaps the Group Build winner(s) get that as a sub heading under their user name as well?

Just some of the threads that I started back in the day....

Got this today for Executive Officer, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) William N. Leonard's F4F-4 Wildcat (Bureau # 5244), "Black 13", VF-3, for his combat air patrol, that he flew during the morning of 4 June 1942 from USS Yorktown (CV-5).

 

[Wildcat]

Nice one Lucky!

 

[Wayne Little]

Done well Jan!

Nice one mate. How many is that you're doing for the PTO build then?
And I thought you said you were only going to the model shop for glue?!!

 

[Lucky13]

I did! As far as I know, I'll do Leonard's Wildcat, "Swede" Vejtasa's Dauntless aaand possibly "Butcher Bob's" Corsair, all depends on time etc....got the kits, it's just the bl*sted paint that I need now. I want to use Vallejo's, so I'll have to check to see which suits for what FS standard....(phew).

I have a question.

I wasn't going to do this build (waiting for the BoB and the Med) but just before my dad passed away he was working on a Devastator or a Dauntless - I have to find it. He had started and only did a few things but it got me thinking maybe I could finish it for this build. Could I do that or would it be acceptable? I'll post pics of where he left off as a starting spot.

 

[Wayne Little]

Simply out of respect, I say Yes!

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, for something like that, I don't think it should matter really.

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice Jan! For sure Chris! look forward to it!

 

[Airframes]

Get it built Chris!

 

[Njaco]

I gotta find where I put it and see what I'm dealing with. He had only just started it so there isn't much done. And no heart strings pulled here. I just don't really have anything from that theatre.
