Chris,

Whether this is a formal GB or not, is there a termination date in mind?

:rolleyes:

Nope Jim. Being a TB rather then a GB (I know the difference because I'm in charge of the blessed things  ;D) the timescale is open ended. It will carry on until it withers on the vine.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

As a point of note lads. What I do with my GB and TB builds is to post a single picture and a link in the finished models section of the forumn. In that way people who would not normally stray into this area get to see them  :thumbsup:

is this TB open to all?

Might have a whiffery , but very slow builder.
too old for a paper round, too young for me pensions, dammit, back to work then!

It took me over 15 YEARS to build all three PR19s, so the time frame is surely wholly elastic.  ;D :lol:
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! :)

Good!  :thumbsup:

PS what is a TB?

Sic biscuitus disintegratum!

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

TB = Themed Build. Like a GB but without a time limit.

A nice idea! I could add something here, too, got an idea, a basic kit and donation parts for a high altitude version. It was actually intended as a "PR_19_kit tribute", because it perfectly fits into the long wing concept. :thumbsup:

Gotta start a Russian one next, though.

I'm thinking along the lines of an F5,/F20 , stretching the wings with odds and ends from my stash and maybe finishing it as either PRU or AAEE Boscombe Down colours.

I've been toying with a variation or development of my Avro Alston for a while and I've got most of the bits in a box for it.
