Hi Guys,
Some very basic rules. Its all about Flying Boats / Float Planes from 1903 to the present day.
My definitions would be as follows.
1. Flying Boat, an aircraft whose fuselage comes into contact with the water as in a boat for take off and landings.
2. Float Plane, basically a land based aircraft whose fuselage is kept out of the water and the aircraft is supported on a number of floats.
Any queries just ask.
I will post some examples shortly.
Cheers
Joe M

Joe,

I'm hoping to build more than one kit for the GB. One of the lads has a kit part started he can swap me.
Is a part started kit ok to enter?

Cheers
Glen

On the bench:
1/16 Trumpeter T-72B1 with Kontakt ERA
1/35 AML-30 prototype
1/35 Djibouti BTR-60 with AML-90 turret

And about 100 other part built kits... ;)

Hi Glen,
I'm O.K. with that. Just remember that it's a while yet to kick off time with this GB.
Cheers

Just to let folks know:-

There is a similar group build starting over on Britmodeller on September 2nd, and going through to January 6th 2018. See here:-

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235009978-flying-boats-and-float-planes-gb/

So it is possible, since ours goes through until December 3rd, for someone to do a parallel entry in both group builds.

And it will be mine now also. (So that I will have no excuse for not finishing the "what-if" GB Irish Mustang by the end date, as well as my Italian jet in the "prototypes" Gb over on britmodeller as well...)
