This group build is to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It will run from 10th of July to 31st of October, 2015, following the dates of the battle.
The build is open to any scale and any subject that played a role in the Battle of Britain. While the Battle of Britain is foremost remembered as an air battle, builds including figures (e.g. famous historical figures from the battle), vehicles and armour (e.g. AA guns) and dioramas (e.g. airfield dioramas) are eligible provided a documented link can be established.
The model must be built entirely within the build dates to qualify, and the build should be accompanied by a thread in the group build forum documenting regular progress. Post your sprues at the beginning of the thread! By the end of the group build (and no later than 24 hours after the completion date) participants should post five pictures of the completed build in the group build forum which will be organised shortly.
To discourage cynical entries the build is open only to those who have been members of KiwiModeller for two months at the start of the group build and with at least thirty posts in the forums. So lurkers, get posting now if you want to enter! I will also vet for cynical or “gaming” entries and vote rigging.
No entry fee will be charged, but this is a good opportunity to make a donation to the upkeep of KiwiModeller.
The winner of the group build will be decided by popular vote. Voting will run for the week following the 1st of November, ending Midday the 8th of November. A deadlock will be decided by a separate run-off vote.

It was too hard to vote, there were 4 there I liked the same. I think there were better photos in the build logs, I don't think the photos really did them justice. I went with the HE-111 in the end purely because of the sheer amount of work involved in getting this kit done and the super finish.

Going for the HE 111 brings back all those classic lines from the BoB movie.

Please feel free to disregard this but a potential solution if people wished to do this would be to for people to select there first choice in the poll as normal and then put there other two choices in a post within the thread

Crikey, I'll echo the sentiments here, Some very good builds and so tricky to pick one over others, but I have 
Well done everyone, and good luck all . . .

As the guy in the gun shop said to the Terminator when asked if he had laser sighting and an autoloader, "just what you see buddy".
One person, one vote or it gets too complicated to manage.

Don't you mean when he asked for a plasma rifle in a 40 watt range? The shop had the autoloader & the .44 with the laser sights
