Got ypou added. Nice selection already.

I may substitute this for a VB later in the year if Eduard offers one in 2021.
Thank you,
Harold
Thanks Harold.I take it that 2 kits in that set and your doing both of them.
Yes sir that is the way that set is intended to be built. I have not built a model aircraft in 66-years, so it may take me two to get one, if you know what I mean.
Harold
I do, amd i am sure you will be fine. I will ad both to the list.
OK Bish,
I orderd the 1/700 Kajika Battlecruiser Kongo as she was in the 1914. Vickers sold her to the Imperial Japanese Navy and she was commisioned in 1913. She was the last ship that was build outside of Japan. During WW1 she patroled off the Chinese coast.
After WW1 she was upgraded, uparmored and reclassified as a fast battleship capable of 30 kts. As such she fought in several engagements in WW2. She was torpedoed and sunk by the submarine Sealion while transiting the Formosa Streight on Nov 21 1944, giving her the distinction of being the only Japanese battleship sunk by a submarine in WW2.
From what I understand, the manufacturer Kajika is an offshoot of Flyhawk and concentrates on making kits of ships in the IJN.
I’ll probably start on it after the Walrus.
I love those ship models- I’d never have thought of entering them.
Bish, I’m going to try to build the Classic Airframes 1/48th Supermarine Attacker. I’ve gotten to a sorta love/hate relationship with limited run kits. Hopefully this one will be finished and not end up a British kamikaze smashed all over the wall…
Roster updated guys.
You know I’m in Bish!!! Pics to come soon, but I’m going to do the HobbyCraft 1/48 Vickers Supermarine Seafire XV. I’m opting for the the Royal Navy version.
Here’s a pic of the kit I’m going to do.
Bish, hate to ask this but would it be okay by you to switch to a 1/48th Hasegawa Mk. IX varient kit of that unmentionable aircraft and crosspost it to Piers /Lost Again’s RAAF GB?
Edit: Hmmmmmm, may be a Mk. VIII- I will have to check…
Ye, that would be no problem, let me know once your sure.
Cliff,
I reckon it is the mk VIII (RAAF used the Vc and the VIII) - I was going to do the same crossover for the two GBs next year!
Piers: Cool! And thanks! I was almost certain she’s a Mk VIII but I wasn’t absolutly certain. I have a set of Aeromaster decals for the same pink elephant [cnsod] but couldn’t find the instructions for them. I may order another set though- I really fancy a [cnsod] with a shark mouth.
So Bish, please put me down for a 1/48th Hasegawa Supermarine [cnsod] Mk VIII if it’s kosher by you.
Will do.
Well, I think I have everything I’ll be needing for the group builds I’m participating in for 2021. Canopy masks, camouflage stencils, and decals. Now to wait for January 1st.
Frank,where did you get your camo stencils
Thanks,Anthony
Count me in for what it’s worth. My gb record is not stellar, but if i make it something simple, I may just finish… put me down for an eduard 72nd scale spitfire mk viii for now.thanks.
Crouched and ready.
