If each kit came with a chocolate bar at little or no cost, I would be both broke and have no room left.

And all the boxes would be open before we could buy them.

Can you imagine a sealed 60 year old Aurora kit with a Snickers bar in it?

2021 is the 100th anniversary of the RAAF so how about a RAAF or at least Australian themed GB?

You know me, I'm always up for anything RAAF, one of the finest air forces out there.

With the sad news about Brian da Basher, can I propose a Spats Bash - The Brian Perri Memorial GB for 2021?

I know, I know!

How about a "The RAAF is strangled at birth" GB, 100 years since Australia decided to maintain separate Army and Naval air arms.  ;)

Saw the thread on Brian Perri's passing, didn't realize he was Brian da Basher.  Came up here to suggest the very same thing.

Tangential thought -

Considering how much Brian was a part of this site, why not two GBs?

The SPATS - as mentioned.

WWBB (What Would Brian Build) - this would take longer (so 2021 / Round 2 of the Murder Hornet Virus Quarantine?) and could have this group reaching out to his family and purchasing from his stash. Each entry takes up where Brian left off - or never started -  and finishes in the Spirit of Brian.

It'd help the family/estate and memorialize our man at the same time.

Thoughts?

Also if Brian's family knows of kids who likes to build kits, I'd be more than happy to donate some of my kits.
