Except the Destroyer (first flight June, 1954) was developed from the Skywarrior (first flight October 1952), even though they both entered service the same year, 1956.

Thanks for the information

Just a quick question, if a whiffer is running into problems with their build can other members of the forum go to their abode and help them out?

There's nothing in the rules to stop it

Quick question regarding procedural rules...is it allowed to edit Finished Entry posts to amend the photographs or is first post considered the final entry? Not a specific question to this GB so maybe one also to be addressed in Chris's global GB thread currently active.

I can't see any problem with it all, as long as it's done whilst the GB is up and running and not after it's closed.

Thanks Chris.

Just a reminder that if people would like me to move any builds that they know they won't be able to finish and would like them moved to the General Builds section, then let me know.

Chris

Bit early yet to talk about moving stuff. Don't we have until half way through June?

Once the probable extensions happen, then quite likely.

Yup, but one or two people have already stated they won't get things finished. Thinking about it I should have PM'd them

Apologies if I've sowed confusion.

I'll be trying to rationalise my three build that are all currently included in the B-54B build Chris.

I'll PM you with a list of posts to move elsewhere later today if that's OK.

NARSES2 · April 26, 2023, 06:40:33 AM

OK Kit

Ladies,Gentlemen and the undecided

With the end of the 50s group build speeding towards us we come to that time when some of the assembled start begging for extra time

Does anyone need an extra 168 or 336 hours or shall we do away with this cherished tradition and have members crying in their paint pots and saying " wouldnt have happened in my day"

let us know
