LSP_Kevin Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Yeah, I think this is a good idea. We made a big deal out of our 20th anniversary, so the least we can do for our Silver Jubilee is to run a group build to celebrate! The trick is, though, how do we differentiate it from work already being done in the WiP forum? If anything LSP goes, then it's basically the same thing. And to allow absolutely anything and everything would run counter to the very thing we would be celebrating. I don't have an answer.

Shoggz Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Could we tie it to something to do with the number '25' in aviation circles? 25 squadron, or something like that?! Rick Griewski, Martinnfb, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get quite specific with that, and stipulate that the kit needs to be 25 years or older!

Juggernut Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The F-16 is 50 years old this year.... A 50th birthday group build for the F-16 would be great. Martinnfb, Zola25, Fanes and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A 25th anniversary GB is a good idea. Could it be that the subject has to be an LSP with the following conditions: The kit was released more than 25 years ago; OR the kit subject is more than 25 years since it was first flown (that knocks out very few potential subjects); OR the subject is silver (NMF or appeared in silver painted livery).

Kind regards, Paul I for one do not want build anymore 25 year old kits. I would rather we all build Kevin’s favorite modern kit. I like the silver anniversary angle. Build metal kits with a minimum of shiny. I like the proposal to build aircraft that have been and are still in service for at least 25 years.

LSP_Kevin Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I can actually see value in a broad-based GB here, where it encompasses more than one of the criteria discussed here, all built around the concepts of "25" and "silver jubilee". This would open up a wide spectrum of choices for maximum participation, while still sticking with LSP subjects.

LSP_Ray Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 How about a B-25 or Su-25 build? Is there any others? Oldbaldguy, LSP_Kevin and phantom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Why not to repeat the theme from the very first LSP GB from 25 years ago and then compare the results? mozart, Daniel Leduc and Christa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I believe the first group build was 2007. I don't think we have a GB topic for 25 years ago. Even our staff correspondence behind the scenes dates to 2003. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
