Okay, just a heads up ... it is now 01 October west of the International Date Line.

So, folks, there's just 31-ish days to go on this Canadian Group Build!

If I put Aussie decals on one side of my Canadian Tornado F4 and maple leafs on the other can I enter it in the Antipodian GB on Whatifmodelers?  ;D

Maybe I can put the decals on, take pics, then change them. I’m so clever!  ;)

Either way, Whatifmodellers.com is the senior site (since they've been around longer). As such, they should have developed greater patience in their maturity.  So, beauty before age ... BtS goes first, right?  ;)

As one of the moderators of the "The Antipodean/ANZAC GB" over on What If Modellers, I accept that we have developed greater patience over the years but reject your assertion that we are less beautiful.
However, we are, also, awesomely magnanimous & shall let you have first dibs.  ;)
