What about it, a Quick Build of anything from the Blitz era? Someone else can probably define that era better than I.

Re: The Blitz
poland, france, denmark, norway, balkans, greece and crete would be the candidates for this then! africa's another story and soviet union was no blitz!

IF i enter that gb i would surely need more time than that what can be defined as QUICK!

Re: The Blitz
Well we could make it as long as we want also.
Kenny has me thinking about maritime stuff, wonder what's out there as far as the Channel boats that helped evacuate Dunkirk?

Re: The Blitz
That would be considered the Blitz? Maybe you just want to see me build that massive thing!

Re: The Blitz
Can we just clarify the difference for the purpose of the GB between The Blitz and Blitzkrieg ? Two very different animals

Re: The Blitz
You mean as in The Blitz as in the Battle of Britain or more specifically the bombing of London?
I guess it should be the Blitzkrieg, weapons that were used both offense and defensively during the Blitzkrieg years.
Would BoB be the cut off?

Re: The Blitz
I'll weigh in her with my take. The Blitzkrieg was the lighting war. From what I understand it should include the invasion of Poland, France, the Lowlands, and Norway up until defensive posturing was started at the coast. They literally rolled over the opposition in double time. The Battle of Britain was its own period. I don't think Dieppe would count as the Germans where already in defensive mode and it is its own little piece of history. There was nothing lightning about it.
So Poland, France, Lowlands, BEF, Invasion of Norway 39/40. My thoughts.

Re: The Blitz
Yeah I think that we could say
from 1939 to 1940 up to and including Dunkirk
That would be the Blitzkrieg era What you think ?
The Blitz was the arial bombardment of Major UK cities from September 1940 to May 1941
The only trouble I can see with doing a GB of that is that it would be mainly a Bomber and Fighter wingy thingy build.

Re: The Blitz
1941???
P40 at a gas station count?
I think it is a good subject. Good kits out there..........
Could I get away using a Tamiya PzIV? D, I think.

Re: The Blitz
Well you could add Operation Seelowe <sp> to it for the ground and naval types. They were interdependent.
