I am checking here for interest on a Korean War Group Build to coincide with the 60th Anniversary of the war’s beginning June 25th. The GB would be running from June 25 2010 to July 27 2011. Any subject, Aircraft, Armor, Ships, and Figures from any of the participating combatant nations is welcome. If enough people want to partake to commemorate this event, we will make it happen.[Y]
Definitely interested… am into armor so I can build Italeri M-24 Chaffee with some AM kits. Was planning to build Chaffee this fall anyway so perfect timing.
Well I do need a companion for my first “Forgotten War GB” badge(which is still in my signature.) So I guess I’d be in…now only to figure out what to build.
Count me in

I participated in the first Forgotten War GB so I feel up for a sequel. I currently have the old Monogram Skyraider and F9F-5P, as well as the Kinetic F-84F Thunderstreak, in my stash - I’m pretty sure each of those were operational during the Korean War although the Skyraider might be more accurate a kit for the Vietnam era. I also saw that the old Monogram P-80 is about to be re-released, which would likely be my entry for the GB. I’ll let you know when I decide what I feel like building. I won’t be able to start until later in the year due to other GB commitments.
Good to see this theme back again. I am 75% finished (painted & decals applied-still needs a lot of work & the canopy masked & painted) with a Mosquito (Texan) from the first “Forgotten War” GB-could I finish it in this one & start on another project, schedule permitting? If not, then I’ll shoot for a new project.
Well, all across the subject areas, Aircraft, Helos, ships, figures, and Armor, it appears that there is more than enough interest to support a GB for this subject area. So as of now, I am saying it’s a go. A couple suggestions were added- with the current situation on the peninsula today, subjects related to todays stand off or that are currently stationed there (or nearby in Japan or Okinawa and would go to war in Korea if the balloon went up) will also be allowed.
If you’re making a roster I’m in, not sure which model I’ll be going with yet though.
Good idea! I’ve got a couple to finish, but your time frame will give me plenty of time. I have both a -5N Corsair and F7F-3N Tigercat in Flying Nightmares schemes that I have been itching to build. So it’ll be either one. They’ll go good with my current VMF-513 Flying Nightmares F-4.
Long story longer, count me in!
Cheers,
Greg
you can count me in; will try to do armor/aircraft/ship.
Hi,
count me in.
Maybe a MiG 15, but I’m not sure.
Thanks a lot.
Stikpusher- thanks for hosting for this GB.
Dang- I just started a Korean War B-29 for the Natural Metal II GB. And I’m hoping to make significant progress before this GB starts [:(]
At the same time I’m trying to get some stuff left over from 2009 (don’t remind me 2010 is almost half over) and some other GBs finished off. I’ve got the M46 you gave me help with earlier this year, and a Grumman F7F and F9F I could throw in. If you go with your posted year long schedule I should be able to get something in if you want to list me as a provisional.
So I can give you a definate maybe so far… [:^)]
I’d be pleased to join. Your last GB was alot of fun, although I just steamed through under the wire.
Let’s see; I have a Matchbox F3D Skyknight, and an Academy B-50, both in 1/72. Although I suppose the Superduperfortress didn’t see action on the Peninsula. Hmmm…
Wow, it sounds like lots of enthusiasm and volunteers for this GB. Very good! I will get the roster going in a few weeks as we firm up the participants! I think this should be a very good one!
As another memeber of the Fogotten War GB I would like to say sure…why not a follow up…evnthough I lean more towards thingies with props I can accomodate…I had fun building a F9F Panther last time…for now pencil me in…I’m just getting back from a short time off from building and have other GB commitments but I think I can manage…It will give me time to think about the subject…hmmmmm…

Put me down for an F-86E Sabre! Glad to see this theme come up again.
Sounds like a fun idea. I recently picked up Academy’s F-2 Banshee in 1/72 and have been itching to build it.

i have not done a group build before, but this sounds like a good first, sign me up for a f4-4 corsair in 1/32.
Wow, lots of volunteers! Not quite as many as the Chicoms, but very much in spirit! [;)]
Just a quick question, does the markings on the tank have to match with the Korean War? I do not know if Tamiyas 1/48 M26 has markings for World War II and Korea. I’d really like to do this tank but if it does not fit with this build I will have to do a Mig15 instead.
