In order of appearance and ease...
- Hasegawa N1K2-J Shinden (George) "Early Version": going to be OOB with the exception of metal canon
- Tamiya A6M3: (if it arrives on time. Bought it 5 hours ago, less than $20 and free shipping): captured, white overall with green crosses
- Hasegawa A6M5: captured with ATAIU - SEA markings. This will be the hardest....I have a lot of questions
- Tamiya Ki-84 (Frank): Maybe. I got this cheap as it had no decals. I'll go through my stash and see if I can cobble something together

Nice Glenn. Yellow wings is one option on my planned Dauntless.
I would be willing to cut you some masks for the Hinomaru and mailing them to you if you wanna try spraying the markings on.

Here are a couple yellow wings I've done in the past.

Should you be into moving tail pieces.
From my own Buffalo I have resin tail pieces, elevators and rudder
if you would like them.
Also, I only used the port wing gun bay,
so I have starboard gun bay and gun.
I seem to have misplaced the gun bay cover tho,
so you would have to use the kit section of the wing.

Thanks for the offer Chad. I am at the moment awaiting delivery of the Thinnerline Circle Cutter Combo Set (yes I caved in). I have many Japanese kits and spare Japanese decals so I'll go through these and see if I can find some tail markings that fit

Alert for newcomers...........
GB's have start dates, when actual work starts on the build.....
Perhaps a good idea to include in a first post of a GB, as mine was.
Just for clarity for our new members, as we all were at one time.
Yes?
I amended my first posting.

Do we have to await the official kick off or can we start early ?

You can not start early. The whole point is to allow everyone the same chance to finish.

What I thought, just making sure, never was much good at rules !
I am aware of the start date, my thread was just moved over here after I asked for it to be moved from the "Start to Finish" build thread and I was graciously obliged by our moderators so that I could participate in this particular GB. No worries though, I am not touching anything else on the model or my thread until the start date, at which point I will amend my thread to comply with the SOP. Really looking forward to this GB.

Glad you guys both plan to participate. I always struggle at this stage as I'm not even half way through my GB40 build. I've had many models set aside and never finished because I start one for the next GB. I need to find a way to reconcile this. I do anticipate participating in GB41 possibly with a quick start but then updating sporadically until I finish my Wimpy.

I'm with you there Andy. I have a whole shelf of unfinished models at this point.

Same boat as you guys.
As I don't get much modelmaking time in the week, I personally find the next GB starting a month before the current one finishes a major stumbling block.
I wish they would be back to back and not overlapping.
(For example: if it takes someone the full four months to finish the one build, they have already lost the first month of the next GB. This leaves them only 3 months to complete the next build, 2 months into which the following GB has started already... hardly 'equal time' for everyone to complete an entry.)
I'd be interested to hear others opinions on this.
