Sorry guys, but I am truly horrible at finishing group builds, so I will have to sit this one out. I wish everyone a great time and I'll try to keep up with all your great builds too!!!...

I have made my choice of kit for this GB. It will be the HobbyBoss 1/72 Lavochkin La-7 (80236)
Unfortunately, I am suffering real health problems right now with Rheumatoid Arthritis but I am hoping that I can knock this one out fairly quickly - hence my choice of a HobbyBoss "Easy Kit".

I am going to pass on this, sorry. Much as I would like to start my Polkarpov, when I eventually get back to making models I want to concentrate on finishing the French Fusiliers.
But I shall be watching from the 'wings'.....
Taxi for Neil
This will be my effort for this GB.

I've got a pilot and will probably try to acquire some masks/markings as I go along.
I don't know much about the VVS, so I was surprised to discover that no fewer than 4,600 P-39s were delivered to the Soviet Union and that five of the Soviet Union’s top ten fighter aces primarily flew this type, including the number two scorer Alexander Pokryshin with 59 kills (48 on the P-39).
Just like Steve this is my subject, but it’s the Eduard 1/48 version.

Cheers mate
I will be joining this GB and are planning to build this.
I'm in an extended trip to Australia at the moment, so won't be able to start the build until later in October. I haven't decided which colour scheme to go with yet. I'll see what paints and have already and decide then.

Normally pics of the sprues, decals & instructions, to kick it off, them posts, with pictures of your progress - you can put in comments about the model, history, reason for building................Also, just joined the site and first GB, quick outline of what happens on the group build plz? Photos and descriptions as we go along, any particular things need including?
I just want to check that this is a suitable victim for this GB.
It seems to make all the right noises but since my knowledge is woefully lacking I wanted to be sure before cracking open a build thread.
It's next on my build list anyway so thought I may as well join in if it fits the criteria.
Thanks

lol, that's a relief. Thanks Andrew.
I've opened the kit, had a look at the canopy, and instantly ordered my first aftermarket masking kit
Opening up a store?!?!Andy
Oh do I know that feeling!!
I know they can be expensive when compared to the price of cheaper kits but they are worth their weight in gold IMHO. I have done DIY masks but they are so painful....especially for planes with a lot of glass!
Personally I try to by in bulk to save on P&P......as you can see below......and this is just a small selection of the masks I have......oh and I'm also about to press go and an order for another eight....
