Japanese Group Build XIII
Rules
*Start Date January 1, 2024
*End Date December 31, 2024
*Japanese subjects which I’ll define as operating under the Japanese flag, aka a captured P-40 flown by a Japanese pilot would be kosher
*Cross-overs are welcome
*Pre-started are fine as long as they’re under 10-20% finished (light assemby)
*Any ‘roll-over’ subjects from JGB XII are welcome
* No cut-off date for entry, you can enter on Dec 30 if you can build the model in a day
And most important have fun guys and gals!

Awesome John, just put you down. Is that 1/72nd, 1/48th, 1/32nd, or something else?

Cblatrin: Cool, putting you down!
John: Thanks! That’s the kit I assumed you meant but I wanted to make sure.

Gamera,
You can put me down for a Hasegawa 1/72 G8N1 Rita as long as you accept cross-overs.
I’ll do that in conjunction with the X-Files GB.

Cool Gary! Just put you down!
Put me down for a Tamiya A6M3 Type 22 in 1/48, Cliff.
I’d like to give this a try. I’ll build the I400 or I401 submarine…from whom I don’t know yet. The Tamiya looks too big to start with (this would be my first sub and first seagoing vessel in about 40 years). I might even try a 3D printed version I found and spice it up with brass details I make.

John: Sorry I did put you down and somehow forgot to say anything down here. My apologies…
Stug: That sounds cool! I put you down, let me know when you decide on a scale or company.
Heading way outside of my comfort zone this year and will be tackling the 1/700 IJN Takao heavy cruiser with a possible special guest. 1/48 A6M2b Zero but time will tell.

Those sound great! I’ll put you down for both but if you don’t get to the Zero don’t sweat it.
BTW: IJN Takeo is one of the ships Big-G eats in Godzilla Minus One!

Sign me up, Gamera!
Thinking of doing a ship. Last ship I did was 43 years ago when I was 12. Will decide soon which ship this will be.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Welcome!!!

Need some help.
Anyone has advice on this? Am looking for a relaxing OOB build. Simple PE work should be fine.

You might wish to ask under the SHIPS thread for advice on this one. I doubt anyone here is familiar with all the kit manufacturers.

Yeah Edwin, as Gary said you might check the ships forum or just look for YouTube reviews. I have no idea which kit is best or easier to assemble. I do know that some like Tamiya even have multiple kits of IJN Yamato out, both an older one and a newer one.
My plans are also to tackle the new Academy 1/48 A6M2b Zero but time will tell.
