Multi engined Bomber Build rules

[Paul]

Start Date - 17/9/2016
End Date - 7/1/2017

Entry Requirements:
Must be a multi engine bomber. Any scale and any era works, as long as the aircraft kit you enter is a multi-engine aircraft primarily designed as a Bomber, (short range, medium range or long range).

Multirole / strike aircraft do not meet these requirements. We know there are numerous aircraft that can drop bombs. But.. Just because an aircraft can drop bombs, doesn't mean it was primarily designed as a bomber. Basically, any aircraft that has more than one purpose, or can drop bombs and then go air to air with other aircraft do not count and will not be allowed entry into this build. Bombers only.

Unbuilt and unstarted kits as of 17/9/16 which is the start day. Photos of the unbuilt kit will be required to be posted on the page prior to starting the build.

Updated photos of the build can be added to your starting photos as often as you like but the thread of your build should be complete and concise.

Any aftermarket or scratch building is allowed. Builds will be judged on originality and quality and the time invested in the build thread. PE and resin are a great way to add to your kit, but not everyone is interested in that part of modeling or can afford the extras. So investing in every piece of aftermarket won't guarantee you a better finish, it is also about the story your build tells.

This is meant to be fun and to get everyone to take out some larger kits and join. Always wanted to build your Vulcan or B-58 or B-24 or Canberra, or Bear or Badger, B-52 or IL-28? nows your chance.

The admins will decide which aircraft to allow in, but as stated above it must have been deigned to be a bomber. To save time here are some not allowed:

C-130; The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft.(direct from the Lockheed page). Yes it has many roles but bomber wasn't one of them.

ME-262; just because the Fuhrer wanted it to be a bomber we all know thats not what it was designed for.

A-10/SU-25; yes they can drop bombs but so can a Cessna.
Helicopters; really do we need to talk about this?

Bombers Only.. No Strike Fighters, Multi Role Fighter / Attack Aircraft, Close Air Support Aircraft, etc. Multi Engine Bombers only.. Aircraft designed as bombers

So there are many aircraft that can drop bombs that doesn't mean they were primarily designed as bombers. These would be multirole / strike aircraft, etc. Use your research and intelligence when choosing a build. Admins are here to assist you in choosing an aircraft that might fall into this gray area.
We reserve the right to update these rules whenever someone provokes us into changing them, or something needs clarified.
If there are any questions about an entry, please contact a Site Admin and we will assist you with a finally ruling in regard to the aircraft in question

HAVE FUN that is the main thing.

Might have something for this, but I'm unsure on the start date? I can't find a 17th month on any of my calendars, lol!

If I can get my Phantom build and have enough time I might join in with my Revell 1/72nd B-17G.
But I am a slow builder so I guess the F-4 will be finished by the end of november. And 40 days to build that B-17 is a bit short for me.

Just out of interest what about the Mosquito B Mk.IV

On the board index, the description for this build says the dates are 9th July 2016 - 1st August 2017. That is an entire year. The abbreviated date format is not US style.

Looks like a US style date to me

Day / Month / Year versus the American Month / Day / Year

9th / July / 2016 to 1st / August / 2017

Might want to read that start date again? It says 9/SEVENTEEN (not seven)/2016

Ok let's be clear on this..
When Bret first announced this, I'm sure he said the finish date was sometime in Jan '17, which is why I was reluctant to jump on it (it's a manic time f year for me) so are we saying it's now Aug '17?

[Paul]

Dates amended, there was some confusion due to the differing date syntax form US to Uk
