Pacific Carrier/Aircraft chat thread.

Karl, I meant to ask earlier...
Is a small diorama / vinegarett :upside: allowed or has the model to be a stand alone?

Thanks.
Ron

I'll let the general GB rules take care of that.

A GB subject can be built as is, or on a simple base. Or a Diorama.

Lee, you edited out......."than aircraft"

Lol

Sorry Karl, I'm sorry but I just couldn't find the general rules for your G.B., hence my question.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply.

It's in the general rules for all GBs, with the caveat that the person running the GB can say otherwise.

And I hadn't, so I won't, though I wouldn't of anyway.

This will be mine. There’s a interesting story about 2lt.William Sandoval. I will post it when I start my thread

Kit selected, plus a section of carrier deck from Eduard. Seriously considered one of the Japanese "sisters" but that'll mean buying a kit and possibly paint. This is in the stash and I have paint already.

Nice choice Karl. I’ve looked at that kit several times.

Before I go all out to buy in a kit to suit,I have an American GATTO class submarine in the stash ....
I know it's not a carrier or plane,but they did take part in this theatre at the correct time,so would it be acceptable?!

Sorry bud. Carriers, parts of carriers and carrier based aircraft only.

Ok,no worries. ...

..."Sorry Rach,but I simply HAVE to buy an addition to the stash now"!!

[KarlW]

Very nice and I like the 1943 Stars and Bars my favorite ones

[langy71]

Andy, I had that in my basket on the rainforest site, but held off whilst watching the recent Midway film, lolz that'll teach me to strike whilst the iron is hot and not leave things hanging.....

So seeing as I can't get hold of an SDB-3 (like the one Richard Best flew) on said site, (got a shed load of amazon vouchers to use up), I'm gonna pull the trigger on this... according to the decals it was part of the second attack wing at Pearl Harbor..(Harbour for us brits)... so should fall within the guidelines for the group build..
