I would prefer tighter rules. Otherwise we might as well have no theme at all....

TomZ

I tend to agree with you Tom, but as long as the rules are clear and people both understand and operate within them then I'm quite happy.

Rule 1: "Any model, aircraft, ship, car, AFV, figure, must sport the P in a circle decal."  ;D
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

addendum ......and have their undersides painted yellow!  ;D

What was the last British aircraft to carry the 'P in a circle' (sounds like a challenge!  ;) ) marking?
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

A group build of nothing but Brit aircraft? Yeah, nah.  ;)

I didn't realise who the mods were.
Given it's Kit and Jon i'm more than happy that once they have beaten the rules into submission they'll be something we can work with.
They may result in nothing but huge steam locomotives, but we'll be able to work with them... ;)

;D

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

For Geman prototypes we might consider a yellow "V" in a circle?

But with long wings as well.....................  ;) ;)
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! :)

I think that this has possibilities!   BR trialled a gas turbine loco.....GT3.........so I might have a think about GT4 (about which very little is known)

And the Brown Boveri 18000 and MetroVic 18100.

(And the APT-E of course.)

I voted for Prototypes, but I'll wait to see what the rules are I think ----

I have to ask why that thing needs anchors?  Would it be in danger of getting loose?
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

zenrat

It's actually not that far removed from some French Pre-Dreadnought designs.  Just add tracks.
