Japanese GB 2011-2012

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

  • Start date Sept 2011

  • Run time till December 31, 2012

  • Japanese subjects (which I’ll define as fighting under Japanese colours- aka a captured P-40 with Japanese markings and flown by a Japanese pilot would be considered ‘Japanese’)

  • Cross-overs welcome

  • Pre-started kits fine as long as they’re under 50% completed (assembled but not painted)

  • Must have patience with the moderator since this is the first time I’ve done anything like this and have no [cnsod] clue what I’m doing…

  • I am leaning toward Second World War aircraft only since almost all the interest has been toward this. If anyone wants to do anything else please throw it out for discussion.

3

Sign me up for ???

I will have to dig through my stash to find something that I want to build.

4

following for now, waiting for a kit to sign

5

Thanks guys, I’ll put you down for now- you’ve got plently of time to decide.

6

Put me down for a a Zero and a Dinah, both are less than 50% assembled and stalled due to time and weather constraints (hard to paint when the compressor is under water!!).

Both older Tamiya 1/48 kits.

Kia Kaha

Jafa

7

Add me to the list. I have a Tamiya 1/48 Ki-84 I am planning to build real soon.

8

I’m game, not sure of the subject yet; either a Val, Kate, Nick or Frank… [:^)] (sounds like a party list)

9

Signme up - my stash is almost all WWII Japanese, including Chorozy WWI subjects and some inter war years stuff.

Sounds fun - 6 months …can we do more than one??

10

Does this run all thru 2012? If so, then perhaps when I finish my GB, I’ll try to brave building a plane. Still can’t finish the Zero.

****Sorry, I just reread the time-frame. [:(DD] I doubt I will have any time to start something by then. I will probably be knee-deep in my own GB.

11

me with tigerman , i hope in a more extended time, i presume lots of people will get intrest in this gb and join in.

ps , my probably plane is the ki-27 from ICM 1/72 (to be ordered )

12

Sign me up but not sure what kit(s) I will be doing yet.

13

Thanks guys, roster updated. Those that haven’t decided on a kit - still plenty of time to think about it.

Kevin: By all means you’re welcome to build as many as you please. I’d like to have some special badges to recognize those who do finish multiple models.

Tigerman & Bsyamato: I’d certainly be game for a three-month extension (taking the build up to nine months) or maybe two (taking it up to a year) if by Feb several people haven’t finished or there is popular demand for an extension. If you do want to start and can’t make the deadline no big deal, we’re all friends here and I see no reason to be a martinet about strict implentation of rules.

Nope, no one is going to ask you to commit seppuku if you don’t finish on time [;)]

14

Now this is somethig right up my alley…let me check my stash…but count me in…

Carlos

15

i’m ready with peas & wasabi from america (a my cousin bring to me [:P]) and original wasabi from tokio bring by the girlfriend of a my friend [:P] … today i’ll order the ki-27

16

Well, we’ll play it out and see what happens.

I have many options, since the majority of my stash is Japanese A/C. I have a Tojo, Nick, Val, Tony, and a Jack. A full house! LOL I would probably opt for the Nick or Tojo, because I want to get my feet wet and save my others for more experience.

17

Big-Z: Ok, you’re in!

Bsyamoto: Sounds good, if you should change your mind, no big deal.

Eric: No worries, I didn’t put you down on the roster but feel free to jump in anytime.

Put myself down with a 1/48th FineMolds ‘Judy’

BTW: My computer has been acting wonky so I’m not sure I’ll be on-line over the weekend. If not I’ll be back here on the office computer Monday morning.

Cliff

18

Cool Gamera, look forward to the Judy. You don’t often seen them built up here.

19

Hi Cliff ;

I would like to join in with Academy’s 1/72 A6M5c Zero (Type 52c) …

Academy’s instruction only list the paint color’s as IJN Green and Light Gray .

My Gunze Sangyo acrylic paint chart has IJN and IJA Greens as well as IJN and IJA Grays ; The IJA Green and Gray are slightly lighter than the IJN colors , which would you think would be more appropriate ?

Anyway , it will be an OOB build , my first WWII fighter !

John .

you can count me in also,don’t know what will build yet,but it will be somthing in 1/72 scale.
