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.  ;)

I must respectfully submit my formal request for an extension to the deadline for this most auspicious of group builds. Other projects of monumental importance have conspired to delay the completion of the Canadian Tornado F.4 Interceptor.

In other words I’ve been doing house projects to keep SWMBO happy and prolong my life. I believe there are two finished physical models in the completed thread so I’m sure some other enthusiastic and talented but time challenged builders could benefit from such a bending of the rules.

Thanks for getting your extension request in early, Ken  :smiley:  (Others nearing completing will also feel less rushed now.)

Very important considerations! How much extension time do you think you need?* (Others should chime in here, too.)

I want to say one week but I know better. Two would be more likely to produce a finished product. If that could be arranged. Much thanks in advance.
