Oh to be whiffing again :-(

Last year's one-weeker got 61 voters. 48 and 44 the two before that.

Not even halfway through this year's poll and we've already reached 34.  Great support - thanks everyone - and if you've yet to vote then don't leave it too late to get your picks in!

48 voting hours to go, me hearties, your GB Poll Needs YOU!

There's two pelotons of plastic (and Electronic pen and ink, of course) - but who will break out of these?  Well that's down to the electorate, so vote now, vote wisely.

#34
Well then, as the returning officer for the 2020 One Week GB Poll I can announce the following results.

But first I would like to thank all of the participants for their excellent submissions, and to the electorate for exercising their democratic right to vote.

Anyway, back to the results.

In third place we have Zenrat and his mad Farley Fairey Penguin]

In second place, with his Swiss Rafale (which, frankly, is prettier than a real Rafale) is AeroplaneDriver.

Which just leaves first place, which goes to PR19_Kit's Gloster Lance.

Well done Kit, second GB win on the trot.  I still think it cries out for Canadian markings!

Being away from home must be agreeing with you, Kit; that's two GB wins on the trot, mate! :o

Well done everyone and thank you Kitbasher and Chris.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Strewth, now I really AM embarrassed.  :unsure: :unsure:

Thanks for all the votes and thanks for the nerve wracking vote procedure, as well as running the whole show Dave.  :thumbsup:

I've got two more T3s and one more F-89 at home, so you may get the Canadian Lance yet.  ;D

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

This may sound odd, but I don't see it working so well with anything other than a T3.  It's the canopy.

Well done to those who made the podium and well done to everybody who took part and to Dave for getting the thing up, running and to the finish line  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I chose the T3 to start with because of its longer nose, the FAWs have their cockpit hunched back between the intakes and look as if they've run into something.  :-\

Having said that, I've got 2-3 FAW9s as well.....
