What if a government actually followed the recommendations of a major review, good or bad, that was ignored in real life.

Examples?

The Henderson Plan, or Jellicoe's recommendations for dominion defence.  Chauvel's post WWI plans for a standing army, Post WWII plans for RAAF army and RAN.  Equivalents from overseas.

Okay, recycling time (as opposed to "new suggestions") ...

I really liked the 'Missed by this much GB' concept ... but it could be expanded. Along with F-23 instead of F-22, it might include too-late-for-service types ... say, operational Spitefuls or Tempest IIs above the Rhine in 1946?

Other oldies but goodies were a 'World without Superpowers GB'; 'Engine Swaps'; 'Ploughshares into Swords GB'; 'Double 'Em/Halve 'Em GB'; and, going waaay back, 'Empire Lives On GB'.

Recycling is good.  In fact one option might be to do a "Recycle GB"

If by recycle you mean rebuilding previous models I’m all for it. I’ve quite a few derelicts that need attention.

That would qualify as would anything else that could be shown to link to the term - e.g. a build that referenced being recycled in the back story

The vast majority of my gb entries are just that. Very rarely use a new kit.
I use the term, pre-loved  ;)

That would get my vote  :smiley:

Another notion ... which may be a bit of a stretch ... what about a Maschinen Krieger GB?

That suggestion was inspired by Dr. YoKai's A couple of old MaK builds thread.

I've tried that - I have an old Aurora 1/48 Albatross WWI fighter from 1956 that's older than me. The plastic looks great, but it's very brittle. I put it aside for a time I have more patience.

I have a 1/350 Tamiya New Jersey that my parents gave me for my 18th birthday, started, but still not finished. During a move several years ago my wife saw it for the first time and assumed I had just bought it and hidden it from her  ;D
