2020 will mark 75 years since the end of hostilities. I suggest a group build to be completed by 8 May 2020 and 14 Aug respectively but as usual our group builds never end. Theme is any subject Allied or Axis, having been flown, driven or sailed including prototypes on the drawing board 1939 to 1945. I will personally attempt to enlarge my ID Plus collection and maybe add some ships and a tank. My WWI projects turned out well so perhaps I can do the same for WWII. Regardless, all are welcomed to join in.
Lou
Sounds like a plan.
Lots to choose from and 12 months to do it.
I will try a ship this time. A tank is on the cards.
I'll finish the CAC-15 too!
Already started on a 1/72 contribution.
Cheers
Gordon
Excellent. I hope many take up the challenge.
Lou

N3PB has progressed . Wing and tailplane glued to fuselage. Floats have been clened up and attachment fairings done.

We'll see how they progress.

Interesting camouflage scheme.
Fraser
Looking good Gordon.
Lou
Thanks Lou,
There's a bit around on the Ki-27 when you start looking.
Chose this scheme as it looked interesting and a bit of a challenge.
The Japanese tanks and tankettes used the same colours at times.
Cheers

1/48 scale Mustangs made from basswood. The RCAF Mustang Mk I served to the end of the war. It is unclear if the P-51A was still in use.
Lou
Excellent models Lou.
Fraser
Excellent job as always Lou. Regards Paul J.
It's tough to keep a carver away from his passion. Nothing, including building a deck interferes with this!!
A great set of builds. - ken
Well done as always Lou.

I wasn't aware of this group build, otherwise I would have done something in 1/144th, I must keep a look out. Terry
Good to see you on line. We are also doing a 1st Generation Jet group build.
