Aces Aircraft of WW2 Group Build

Catch22 · Jun 28, 2011

Think I've found one, unfortunately there isn't a decal sheet in existence in 1/32, haven't checked 1/48 but I'd probably want to go with the larger scale. I don't think it would be too horrible to mask.

Koki Kawamoto, 8+ kills.

Does anyone know of any Ki-84 aces? Nobody ever does anything Japanese.

There was Yojiro Obusa: 19 kills (5 x P-51s, 2 x P-47's, 4 x Hurricans, 1 x Spitfire, 1 X B-24 1 B-29)

Hmm, that's also pretty interesting.

Hey B-17, if your doing a "B" Stang , John Godfrey gets noticed very little. He was one hell of a pilot. Sad how his life ended way too soon.

I've almost decided on the 55th Fighter Group P-51 "Millie G" flown by Maj Edward B Giller.
The only hitch is that Giller had total of 9 confirmed kills, but only 3 of those were air to air kills the remaining 6 being ground kills. My question is does this qualify him as an ace? I know that after a certain date ground kills counted, but I don't know that date, or if those kills counted towards the status of "Ace" The dates of some of his ground kills were:
April 9, 1945 Me-410
April 9, 1945 Me-262
April 16, 1945 He-111

I think it'll probably qualify Glenn, as ground kills were counted from late 1944 far as I know. I've got some pics and profiles if you need them.

Very cool Glenn!

I have Graf's FW-190 A-4 in stash, so if this group build is on, I'm in...

Crimea_River · Jul 12, 2011

The build starts Aug 1.

le_steph40 · Jul 12, 2011

I'll be in too, but I'll begin certainly late in August (before, I'll be on holidays...). Can I ?

ozhawk40 · Jul 12, 2011

I'm sure that will be okay. New entries would be accepted right up to the end of November.

Cheers

Aug 1st??? Wow that is around the corner!

Wayne Little · Jul 13, 2011

Coming on fast isn't it!

I have narrowed down a possible subject involving a Kittlyhawk III. In trying to locate a good 1/48 kit for this, I wanted to land the Hasegawa Kittyhawk III but found it hard to find. My LHS had the Has Kittyhawk IV which I purchased after doing a quick net search on my BB that led me to believe that the kit had sufficient interchangeable parts to do the Kitty III. Wrong. The kit lacks the short fuselage and fillet on the tail that I need to produce the needed subject.

I'm aware of some III's on E-Bay and some lesser known web outlets but if anyone has an unbuilt Hasegawa 1/48 Kittyhawk III (#09715) and would like to trade for a pristine Hasegawa Kittyhawk IV (#09732), fire me a PM please.

T Bolt · Jul 14, 2011

Andy, you may have to go with the AMT/Ertl P-40K. Its probably not in the same league with the Hasegawa, but still a nice kit. I'm in a middle of building one right now that's listed in start to finish builds. Here's one on eBay cheep Hasegawa. The kit come with a separate tail, so you may be able to combine the two kits.

Crimea_River · Jul 14, 2011

That's certainly an option Glenn, thanks.

Hello,

Do you try to find the Hasegawa Kit 09753 "P-40K 64th fighter Squadron" ?
