Me and another member here have been talking about doing a double build blog... We would both build the same kit with the same aftermarket stuff, and try to post each step together or very close to it. We thought it might be interesting to see 2 builders doing the same kit and also sharing what different problems we may have. We thought it may be fun and informative. What do you all think???

Hi Jeremy.

Check out what Rowan and J-L are doing over on Aeroscale . . . .

Fw190D-9 Duo Review Build

Similar concept, and I think it is a great idea and a very informative thread.

Cheers, D

Hi Jeremy

Yes, I like the idea - it's proved pretty popular, so we plan to do more Dual_Builds in future.

All the best

I'm sorry Jeremy, I replaced the photo, with a much more politically correct one.

dual builds are always a welcome . Mark Hammrick and I did one last year on the Pfalz D.IIIa as a build review of the kit and I loved ever minute of it . It gives other modellers insight to different methods with different solutions to problems which arise up in the build ending with the same reesults .

Good luck with your dual build !
