Must be started within the build dates.

Interesting schemes Sergio and looking forward to seeing one of them. I don't think I've seen a "Thai-fighter" before.

Bernhart · Feb 6, 2019

Lots of options with this one

Crimea_River · Feb 6, 2019

Very cool. Don't see those very often.

Wayne Little · Feb 7, 2019

Get stuck in, we want more happening...

Hello,
My 2nd I-16 is finished (photos soon). Now, I'm ready for this GB
Not decided for the model yet but the list is shorter:
- F6F-3 flown by Eugene A. Valencia, VF-9 => Eduard
- P-47D flown by Neel E. Kearby, C.O. 348FG => Hasegawa
- P-38J flown by Jay T. Robbins, C.O. 80FS/8FG => Hasegawa
- P-38L flown by Richard I. Bong, 5AF => Academy
- A6M2b T.21 flown by Saburo Sakai, Tainan Kôkutai => Hasegawa
- A6M3 T.22 flown by Hiroyoshi Nishizawa, 251 Kôkûtai => Tamiya
- A6M3 T.22 flown by Takeo Okumura, 201 Kôkûtai => Hasegawa
- A6M5 T.52 flown by Saburo Sakai, Yokosuka Kôkûtai => Hasegawa
- Ki-43-I flown by Satoru Anabuki, 3 Chutai, 50 Sentai => Hasegawa
- Ki-43-I flown by Isamu Sasaki, 1 Chutai, 50 Sentai => Hasegawa
- Ki-43-II flown by Yasuhiko Kuroe, 3 Chutai, 64 Sentai => Hasegawa
- Ki-43-II flown by Goichi Sumino, 3 Chutai, 64 Sentai => Hasegawa

So, the choice is: P-38, A6M, Hellcat, P-47 or Ki-43...?
Sergio is building a Ki-43; so I remove it from the list
Now, I have to choice between P-38, P-47, A6M and F6F-3...

Any advice my friends ?

Haven't got a P-47 build yet.......

Crimea_River · Feb 19, 2019

Yep. That or a Lightning would be cool.

Luftace43 · Feb 19, 2019

I was just thinking today that one doesn't often see many P-47s built in PTO markings.

T Bolt · Feb 20, 2019

Do an "N". Big beast with that extra long wing, only used in the Pacific. Academy makes I nice kit of it I built a few years ago. Only problem I found with it was it has the wrong engine in it but most people wouldn't notice, or else you can fix it like I did.

RAF flew P-47s in this theater, it is one of my options, well 3 of my options if i am being honest

i am toying with either a Ki-84 in a home defense scheme or maybe P-40 "wiarripa wildcat" if you've all forgotten about Wayne and Glenn's builds ?

My P38G was delivered yesterday so I am hoping to be able to complete.both halves of the Yamamoto shoot down, the hunted and the hunter.

Hello to all, so far I am giving myself some time to start seeing this new GB.

I think I have good candidates to participate (my 2nd. GB ), ... ... although I do not think I can start until my He-111 is more advanced than I have. For now I´m in half masking!

My problem is that they will have already realized that I am a bit slow in my processes because of the irregularly available time , coupled with my syndrome of "early madness due to detail and progressive and irreversible innovation" ...

I would like to submit to your consideration what might be options (unless you tell me that one does not correspond)

Apparently it would be from the simplest to the most complicated project:

1) 1/72 F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair "Guadalcanal"

2) 1/48 Mitsubishi J2M3

3) 1/48 SBD-5 Dauntless

4) 1/48 P-61 Black Widow

With option 1, it may give me time to also do option 2.
For 3 and 4, I think I will hardly have the time to try to do any.

I will hear suggestions.

I see that there is a good number of participants, I will be walking slowly for each one, to see their projects and greet them.

Saludos
Luis Carlos

A lovely Raiden would be interesting I think

Arrrgh ! I wanted to follow your opinion but I would have liked to find the KMC 48-5063 or Aires 4044 resin set for control surfaces but unlucky

fubar57 · Feb 21, 2019

I have no idea what this is Steph, its the first thing that popped up for the KMC resin. Chrome browser would be your best bet here

Thanks Steph and Greg, for your suggestion. I start to see the projects that participate and the documented information of many of them is very interesting.
One question: is there a deadline to register? I'm still rushing with my AW177 from GB # 40 and I hope to start analyzing it more thoroughly, depending on the time (I do not like to look bad with deadlines), which project could be viable.
I already want to start here with you too.

Gracias amigos, les agradezco y seguimos en contacto.

Saludos Luis Carlos
