G'day,
Having run a GB on another Forum for the 60th aniversary of the Pacific Theatre, I have a couple of ideas for a GB on both the Malta Defenders and Attackers.
I'll toy around with the ideas over the course of the day and edit this post later.
A starting date and duration TBA

G'day Rob,
I was speaking to my friend who took her father to the 60th Vets anivasary on Malta in August. It was her father that I built my Spitfire Vb for in 126 Sqn markings. Having seen the photo's of her visit, I was inspired to build another defender of Malta. I have a nice Tamiya Mk Vb put away with some nice AM decals especially for the job. If we are starting this one in the new year, I'd love to join in.
Regards,
Darren.

G'day,
I've earmarked a Hasegawa Hurricane IIb with PE and AM decals, I've had on the intended pile for so long, just a few other projects to complete in the meantime.

Count me in, please. Probably a Spitfire - maybe one of those controversial 'blue' ones, and possibly a nightfighter Beaufighter, both in 1/48th.

That would be cool , i was intending to do a 1/32 beaufighter but got outbid on ebay , so i went for the 1/32 Hurricane , but i found a place near mr in Kent that stocks old kits , so hopefully i might still do a beaufighter in 1/32 ;D |

Sean,
If you can't find a 32 scale Beaufighter, I can call some favours owed to me for one of these kits if you need one.
Having built both Beaufighter's of the Malta based strike and nightfighter force in 48 scale I'd be happy to assist all with information too any on these two birds.
