HobbyBoss GB? *** GB Forum is open ***
As a few people are discovering these kits are quite good and if it ran for a month there's no telling how many would get built.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
I'd be in - they're quite cheep to buy and very nice to build. I might try their F-86 or I quite like the look of that P-40 you made a few months ago.

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
Being bored at work I took a few minutes to take a look at Hannants to see what sort of a range Hobby boss have - I'm pretty impressed, they have a good range of models, not all easy build but I have to say the easy build range is pretty good, with some interesting subjects and quite reasonable prices.
Here's the link http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index. ... 1&pageID=1
An Easy-build Stuka to mark the Battle of Britian anniversery might be on the cards.
Cheers

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
I think I'd limit it to their easy build kits as it would give those who are limited with time a chance to join in a GB they might otherwise be deterred from doing so.

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
I have a few HB kits in the stash and I might even be able to complete one within a 4-week time scale.

I'll be in with a Havard, assuming we don't have to stick with an OOB scheme?. (I've done both already) Will go with the herd as to when.

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
I don't think its necessary to limit it to only the Easy Build kits. Those with limited time or the inclination can still go for those kits whilst those with more time can do the regular kits, all under the same banner.TobyC wrote:I think I'd limit it to their easy build kits as it would give those who are limited with time a chance to join in a GB they might otherwise be deterred from doing so.
Just a thought.

Stuart,
As long as you don't want to build a variant that actually took part in the battle.

Are we still working on this becoming a reality?

Re: HobbyBoss GB?
I'm still up for this, Anyone wanting to build a HB Spitfire though may have work to do around the canopy as it apparently has fit issues. Here's a youtube link with a well known person who mentions this issue and whom is apparently is a modeller!!!
