Yes folks, its that time of year again.  The sun is out, I'm off sick for 4 weeks, and yet again, after promising last year to build a tank next year (as I promise every year), I am of course going to build an aircraft*  :tornado:

GB will run from Friday 10th to Sunday 19th July.  I'll get one of the mods to put up the forum early next week, and put the rules and stuff in.

Every year, the quality and diversity never ceases to amaze me.  As this is the 5th consecutive year this great Whiffy tradition will be running, lets make it an extra special GB.

Sounds good to me. I've got several possibilities in mind.  Just have to pick which one.  Looks like I've got 10 days to decide.

Another vehicle?

A one WEEK Group Build?  :o

I've got as much chance of doing something in that time as I have of cycling to the Moon...... :(

But it'll be interesting to see what you 'Blitz Builders' come up with nonetheless.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

The last two 'One-Week' builds are the only GB entries I've managed to complete.   :banghead:

Evidently I need a deadline.  ;D

Well the good news is I'm off from today until July 22.  The bad news is I'm going to England next week!!!  I should be home on the 14th, so that still gives me 5 days...plenty of time!!   :thumbsup:

Looking forward to this great annual tradition!!!

:drink:
So I got that going for me...which is nice....
