Tanky-put me down for the 1/48 Hasegawa P-40E. If time allows, I might do the AM P-51A that is gathering dust in my stash.

Thanks

I really want to build an RAF P-47 for this one in 1:48. I don’t have one yet but I want to try the Tamiya as everyone says it is a dream.

8

Well !! If I can’t make legitimate comments about tablecloths & lack of progress pics I’m Outta Here [V].

Uhm…problem…the Ki43 I mentioned well I forgot that I had already started it…does this constitute a violation? Honestly I completely spaced it out…

By the way I think the table cloths are very nice…in a Martha Stewart sort of way…

10

Honestly, I’d prefer it wasn’t started. So everyone is at the same point at the beginning of the GB. [:)]

11

Add me to the list. Leaning toward something from the early years of the theater. Will let everyone know after I make up my mind.

12

OK I added you.

hmm this thread seems to be dead. ill post in AC to get some interest going.

13

Hey Tanky, go ahead and put me down as a “possible”… I may go out and purchase a P-51A and give it a run for it’s money. We’ll see how the rest of school goes[xx(]

14

Wait Tanky, just viewed the dates. Scratch possible with definate, and I’ll be doing Accurate Miniature’s rendition of the P-51A, perhaps with an A/M engine thrown in[:D]

15

Hey tank dont forget me I’ll be doing a Japanese B339 buffalo( if I can find the appropriate markings)[:D] the 1/48 tamiya kit

16

sorry panzerwulf. I’ll update the list when I get a chance tomorrow.

17

Interesting GB…

What kinds of Armor are allowed?

What units?

18

With those dates, I’d probably be in on this. I have no idea what to build yet.

19

I’m not sure what armor units. to be honest, I don’t know too much about this theater. This GB will be a good way for me to learn.

20

Curses Tanky!!! I was all excited till I saw the “cannot be combined with other GB’s” clause… “may your tablecloth develop the stains of 100 spilled wine glasses!!!” haha kidding… I was all excited as I found the perfect model for this but I already commited it to the Memorial Day GB because my uncle flew in it…

I’ll just come in now and again and check it out…
