Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

G’day Folk’s,

I have posted in the General Discusion about this idea I have had for a Group Build which cover’s the 60th annivesary of the end of the Pacific war, I had numerious dicsusion’s with another member on this topic, so I thought I would post it here. I have a planed starting and finishing date running from Nov to April '05.

Some members have expressed an interest in this project.

3

what would the context be…a little more to this please?

4

hey folks this idea has a great number of possibilities. i was looking at this and thinking the time frame would be after all the current gb’s and it would cover so much territory. what do you think?

You know, this is a subject that armor, aircraft, figure, ship and diorama forums could get involved in. Great idea!

6

My one problem with group builds is that I’d like to see them displayed in one place, especially one with the educational and historical value of the one you’re suggesting here. A scattered group of photos just doesn’t do it justice.

7

Now I see what you’ve been telling me, could me in on this and I’m shaw to find several to choose from.
