2021 LSP Group Build Vote

[Dave Williams]

Is Air Superiority really limited to single seaters?  This is going to keep out aircraft like the F-4, and there is a lot of interest in the upcoming Operation Bolo sheet.  Also, the Tomcat will be out.

They'll be good for In the Navy GB. Though about that, too, there is a lot of GB that the same kit could fit into.

Indeed, I'll be doing a Fisher Sea Fury which fits nicely into either the Air Superiority or the Navy GB.

I think the rocket armed Fury would qualify in the Target for Today GB?

I voted for Air Superiority, as I am doing the Bolo Phantom.  However I am starting in the next couple weeks.  So my build may not be eligible.  I don't plan to wait long, my big project is almost done and when that is done I am starting my F-4C cockpit.  Then getting serious about finish the build when the decal sheet comes.

Yes, as we've done two seaters in the not too distant past.

I think that’s going to make a number of people unhappy, but that’s just my two cents.

It's not like I hid this fact, it was written there in my initial post explaining the topics.

I never claimed you did.  I was just suggesting that it be opened to two seaters because there is a lot of interest in the Operation Bolo sheet coming out soon and this restriction would prevent any of those aircraft from being entered.  Personally, I don’t understand the restriction on two seaters since the majority of entries are probably going to be single seaters anyway so it will only make it a little less inclusive than it could be, and in some previous builds the rules have been loosened up IMHO in the name of inclusion, but it’s your call.  Just thought I’d ask.

Four clear winners in the vote, four good ones too! 

[Rick Griewski]

Yupp. I am working out a list of candidates from the kit stash.

Target for Today - Ground support interdiction and CAS aircraft. Conventional fighters pressed into the ground attack role are included.

Would a Banff Mosquito count for this? Asking for a friend.

Just my two cents: I would like to see two-seaters allowed, too. I don't expect that we'll see a squadron of Phantoms or Tomcats built! But it is nice to see maybe one or two?

I'm not sure what a 'Banff Mosquito' is.

Mosquitos based in Banff Scotland tasked with hitting shipping (I believe). I kind of wondered if that counted as ground attack, even if it was over water.
