Cheers guys!

Don, if I can finish a GB entry, it will be marvellous!

Geo, ordered a DEAD design (terrible name that) masking set for that - definitely didn't want to spend days measuring and cutting masks!

I just used Dead Design on my 1:48 ki-45. A couple were a tad small but could be fixed with Tamiya tape. Very similar to Eduard masks

Hey don't fill lonesome, I figured if I can't finish this, next GB is Zombies, how can you lose maybe six months to finish but you finish!

Glad those masks are good Geo, cheers for that.

Nice pictiure Rob! Looks good in the Thai markings.

I was elated when you posted a model of an obscure airplane and I had a picture of it! I love the planes of the inter war years.

Looking again Rob, that's actually a Ki-55 'Ida'. Very similar though. I think there are kits of that around though...

 

[SaparotRob]

Close enough.

 

[A4K]

VERY close mate, very similar designs!

I'm brain flipping one of these to start. Probably the SB2U-3, which seems the most challenging and cockpit detailed.

The others...If I can, I'll do one of the two remaining to fill in the GB time frame.

The SDB-3 is a good kit and a lot of detail for the buck. Old Accurate Miniatures kit so it been around the block but still worth it.

In a hats off to our Aussie commonwealth brothers I am going to do Clive "Killer" Caldwell's Spitfire VC.

Hello,
Lots of choices for me in my list of Pacific Aces: P-47D "Kearby", P-38 "Bong", "Johnson" or "Robbins", F4U "Aldrich", "Boyington", "Hanson" or "Walsh ", several Ki-43-Is and Ki-43-IIs "Anabuki", "Kuroe", "Sakagawa", "Sasaki" or "Sumino", Ki-61 "Takeuchi", A6Ms "Nishizawa", "Iwamoto", "Okumura", "Sakai" or "Sugita", N1K2 "Sugita"...
My first selection will be the choice of models that I don't yet have in my showcase, such as F4us, Ki-43s, Ki-61s and N1K2s. I'm thinking...

 

[T Bolt]

I just went over a list of my stash and I have at least 32 kits that qualify for this group build.

 

[SaparotRob]

…I'm thinking...

What's it like?

 

[le_steph40]

What's it like?

It's like a headache

 

[A4K]

What's it like?

Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge...

Y'all are a bunch of comedians

Agree regarding Bong, Hanson and Johnson....

Here it is the 8th and I have completely overlooked the start of this GB.
Just too wrapped up in the MesserSpit........
I'll have to take some photos today and at least get on the board.
