Midway Group Build, Any Interest?

Hello Everyone,

I am interested in starting up a Group Build which focuses on probably the most critical battle fought by the US Navy, USMC and the USAAC during World War II; The Battle of Midway.

I am writing this to gauge whether or not to proceed with finding reference, creating badges, (One for the Japanese side and one for the American side…) and any other information I can dig up. I can also use any help designing the badges.

I am a bit of a student of the BoM itself and I do have a lot of info, of which I will readily share should anyone need it.

So, if this is something you wish to engage in, please let me know and I will get the ball rolling.
I am looking at a start date of January 1, 2027 till June 8th, 2027.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear back from y’all real soon.

Regards
Freddie from Palm Beach

I’ve been looking to join a group build.
I have an Eduard A6M2 type 21 Zero that I could build.
Count me in.
Badge idea but obviously has to include carrier.
Something like this?

That IS along the lines of what I am looking for, Karl. I was thinking of each side, US and Japan, having the badge a little more zeroed in on themselves respectively? Of course, depending on what your building would determine which badge. Also, who says you can only build one kit, right?
Those badges are awesome, HOW the hell did you do that?

Sorry the badge is only an example of what I found on Google.
I don’t have any programs or such to design anything like that.
Maybe someone can design one for you.
Sorry for misleading you :cry:

I’m interested. Badges are easy. All you need is a paint program and the text editor.

You can have AI generate badges…sometimes it fails LOL

That’s a good idea as well. Thanks for the input

No problem, Karl, neither do I but I do appreciate the ideas you floated, they look terrific! I might just use one of them, tweak it, but I’ll give you credit for the idea.

Ha Ha Ha, I see the date!! Otherwise it looks outstanding.

Freddie-I’m in-not sure what I’ll build yet but I’ll find something in the stash.

I suggest AI as well - so easy, but do look for the bugs. I’ve used it a couple times including generating my avatar. I have interest and kits - I’ll be a maybe.

Boy I’d be interested but that June 8th deadline would be difficult for me.

I am interested in this group build. Mark me as a maybe as well. Been wanting to build a japanese ship… seems the heavy cruiser Tone would be a good fit!
