The whole GB would be full of Blackburn 'Between the Wars' aircraft! :(
Yep..it'd be called the Blackburn GB and I'm not sure how many off us could go that ugly .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Fly-offs

When the armed forces of different countries has to make a decision on what aircraft, tank, artillery piece etc. They usually whittle it down to two and there's a fly-off to which works better in comparison.
This would mean building two examples not the production model but the experimental flying test aircraft/examples the X types before the Y types. They wouldn't be the RW examples that competed but the third and fourth choice.

Matchbox only. As the name suggests, you can only use bits from a matchbox kit. Of course they don't all have to be bits from the same kit...

Second chance GB. Take aircraft, trains etc that were considered failures and "improve" them to make them really useful vehicles. e.g. Brewster Buffalo, NBL BR Class 16, AMC Gremlin,, Tesla Cybertruck...

No your not to late and the suggestions will be included  :thumbsup:

Gentlemen I'll be locking this Thread tomorrow afternoon sometime (UK time). Not to sure when I'll get the first Poll up, I have to remind myself what I did last year, it's called age  :rolleyes: . If not tomorrow it probably won't be until Tuesday as I've a busy few days in front of me. Bear with me please.

Didn't we do something similar a few years ago?  I built a ute with two engines.
No reason not to do it again though as its a good, fertile idea which can encompass cars, tanks, and ships, not just planes.

On the other hand, I think an F4 Phantom II GB would be popular.

- 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.

You mean F-4 Phantom II, Panavia Tornado or Eurofighter Typhoon?
