Pacific Carrier War GB

[spanner570]

Pacific Carrier War is the G.B. title.
'...any carrier or carrier based aircraft involved in the war in the Pacific.......'

If this G.B. is a goer, here is my proposed contribution.

Look, no wings!

I was looking at Trumpeters 1/700 offering of this, then the 1/200 one.....now I don't 'have' to buy it.....


I'm on the phone at the moment but once I get to the laptop I'll do a new list of runners and riders.

I bet the whole thing was sphincter testing.
"Take off from this moving, too short airfield, fly in a straight line with no deviations, one bombing pass, then land on fumes."

Eh … are you sure? For “Aircraft in the Pacific” I could build, say, the Revell (ex-Matchbox) PB4Y-2 Privateer I have in my stash, or a Hawker Hurricane with Dutch flags on it. Not sure those would fit the “Pacific Carrier War” theme :smiling3:

Myself
Tim Marlow
The Smythe Meister
Geoffers
Valeron

Lee Drennen

Cheers guys, my first GB proposal I'll admit I had a bit of a "bingo sweat" on........

Wo Hey, we are good to go!
Well done Karl. :thumb2:

Get one of these 1/1200 Big 'E''s. Far more fun than a 1/200!





Cheers.

Nah, it's the working mini submarine I need to look out for. :flushed:

Good man yer'self for getting the G.B numbers.
Now the fun will really start. No pressure then?

I'm thinking a Zero might come along too, a FB group I'm in had a GB building them and they look lovely kits. (I didn't join in.)

I’ve got this set, so count me in.

Don't suggest that Ian. I have a cunning plan.......

EDIT
'Cunning plan' bought.

Karl, providing the G.B. title doesn't change to 'Aircraft of the Pacific War' I'm in.....

Cheers.
Ron

TBF I was hoping to see more floaty things than have currently been offered up, but then I only have aircraft in my stash.....

[Airborne01]

Just out of interest would, say, an anti-aircraft gunner or deck crew/ fire fighters on an Aircraft Carrier qualify for this GB? Just thinking outside the box I think ...
