What about a Mig 23/27 GB ?

I've seen this before too - but called 'Shared Builds' - another site I frequent has rather strict rules for GBs, including the number of members joining the GB before it can go ahead - so for those GBs that don't make the numbers, or for just when one or two guys what to get together and build something similer, they have 'Shared Builds' - when done well it can be really interesting, I've seen some great single kit ones where you see how different people build the same kit.JimD wrote:As a side note. Maybe we could implement a Dual/Duel build section. Another forum does this...the idea is two or more members build something together. Kinda like a group build, but doesn't need to meet the requirements of one like having multiple entrants.
Usually it works like this....you and I could build a Mig-23 and -27 respectively since they are similar...it's "dual" because we show the two variants...or we could build the exact same subject or kit (with different markings and AM options....) more of a "duel" since the subject is the same. You could do something like P-51 vs Bf 109...or the Bismark vs. Fairy Swordfish. Basically there is some kind of connection between the two builds whether the subject is the same, same manufacture, or same role, adversaries etc....and is usually a great way for two or three members to do something like this. It could work here if a couple folks wanted to build 23s/27s.
