Coming Soon- the Des Delatorre Memorial Group Build Competition
« on: January 18, 2019, 10:45:11 AM »
COMING SOON- THE DES DELATORRE MEMORIAL GROUP BUILD COMPETITION

The first anniversary of the passing of our Forum founder Des Delatorre will be marked in early February, so in Des’ memory we are going to have the biggest group build competition in the Forum’s history.

Members who are about to begin their latest WW1 build should mark their calendars for a date in February which we will announce soon.

Thanks to the kindness of several generous sponsors and supporters the GB will have an impressive prize pool of model kits and accessories.

The GB will only be open to registered members of the Forum and full details and rules will be published in February.

Very good idea. Des would be proud.
I don't know if I will be able to join, but I'm looking forward to see a lot of fantastic builds. I think there will be lots of BE2Cs. ;)
Bye,

I'm in, Dave.  I have a special kit in the stash that I was planning on dedicating to Des anyway.
Cheers,

Count me in!  I've been itching to start another WWI project so this would be perfect timing.  Having just purchased a CSM Nieuport 17 Late, it's definitely a candidate but there's also a Roland C.II in my WNW stash that's been calling out to me.   Decisions, decisions...

This is a good idea and a good way to honour Des' memory.

Great idea. I am certainly in, with a WNW AEG G.IV, most probably.
