So,ANY type of Japanese Aircraft that saw service in WW2,any scale,any brand... Simple as that

Just to clarify summat Andy.
Stand alone, vignette or simple diorama, any restrictions?

As far as I'm concerned,no restrictions really Ron,all three of those appeal to me.
Strikes me that the field to chose from is more limited when you're talking Japanese Aircraft... so opening it up to vigs or dios will allow a more diverse range of builds

First of all well done Andy for getting this GB going.
I’ve got this set so will be building one if not both of the Jap planes.

Thanks Ian
Nice set,I looked at the "Kate" in deciding what to do myself,nice looking plane I reckon.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

So,I guess I ought to show what I'm gonna do!
Like Ian, I'm going for two builds... mainly because the Raiden I have is nice,but I think a quick build, it's pretty basic! So,I pushed the boat out somewhat,(is it me,or are Japanese kits rather pricey,in 1/48?!),and got a"Nick"


... Looking forward to doing both TBH !!

Nice pair Andy, also like the avatar, is the bearded dragon yours. I had a couple some time back and fancy getting another now. So friendly and playful.

Yes he is Ian,
"Cohan" we call him,after Terry Pratchett's Discworld character,"Cohan the Barbarian"
He'll be 4 this June,and about 400mm long,as you say, SO friendly,he loves to come out for a cuddle and explore the front room
People who visit take one look at him in his "tank" and get all "oh my god it's a Dinosaur,RUN AWAY" ..
They couldn't be more wrong!!

Yes mine used to run up my leg and watch the TV with me.

As I have a box of Zeros with the same title as the GB I'm going to have to build at least one of these.
Hmmm wondering does a dual boxing break the "one subject per thread rule"? If not I may do a tandem build.
(I'll need to buy paint.)

 

[Valeron]

I'll be building this. It was a Christmas present this year.

Well done getting this one past the post Andy, now to find my victim.

Excellent mate,I look forward to seeing what you decide on

Still unsure about wingy things so I may jump in at a later date if that's OK?
