Tora,Tora,Tora !! Andy's WWII Japanese Aircraft GB: Chat thread.

[The Smythe Meister]

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.)

Sorry Karl,I was sure I'd answered you!! Can't see building both of em would be objectionable, however,as the box is entitled "Tora,Tora,Tora", shouldn't there be THREE of them?!!!

Nice one Andy :thumb2:

Didn’t put my name down initially as I only tend to build allied aircraft…..however I have been thinking of trying a Japanese aircraft build recently so I’m in :smiling:

Excellent Geoff
The more the merrier!! Don't forget to post up what you decide to build, even though the "off" is way in the future

That looks nice Mick.... One extreme to the other for you eh?.... 1/32 "Big Box" to this braille scale beastie!!

The Dakota's I'm building are 1/72, just been painting the crews, I'd forgotten just how small they are :smiling:

Have a couple of candidates for this all in 1/48; Tamiya N1K1 Rex, Wingsy Ki-51 Sonia, Hasegawa A6M2K Zero 2 seat trainer, AB&K Nakajima A2N2. And in 1/72 a 1/72 Kyushu Q1W1 Lorna. Plus a couple in 1/32 scale.
Oh, yeah, plus whatever else might find it’s way into the hoard betwix now and the start

Nice one Ernie.
... Be good to get someone from your side of the water taking part,..
.. you listening PaulE and Rick?!!

[Mini Me]

Yes......have been following this. Mostly frustrated as there is absolutely nothing available in 1-87 scale Japanese aircraft. Sorry, I can't join in on this but you simply can't build what don't exist.:confounded:

I was looking at this Trumpeter model & was severely tempted

.........but I managed to resist it!

Liking that Dave ... shame about the scale mind,(although it still be a fair size when built up I suspect). :smiling3:

[JR]

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


Andy.

Stand your ground Andy , unless you want to go like Andy !

[JR]

Sorry Mr Smith .
I'm busy at the mo, but will look in and watch .

[KarlW]

I've just looked over the instructions for my kit looking to see the paint callouts and 12 different marking options, and I have to chose twice...........I fear analasys paralasys might kick in.......
(Though I do have a kit with more options.)
