Victory in the Pacific - Model List
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, October 10, 2005 9:52 AM
I know I am a bit slow in bringing this but Summer has different demands than Fall.

I was rather disappointed in the list. It listed zero! non-American non-Japanese. I realize these were the major participants but they were not the only participants. Plastic production models of participants in the War in the Pacific include:

Prince of Wales
King George V
Richelieu (Heller)
Illustrious (Heller)
Exeter (originally UPC now someone else, Matchbox)
Hotspur (Airfix) Can substitute for D,E,F,G,H,I classes
Campbeltown (Airfix) This is a American four stacker and American four stackers served in the Pacific and one was even used by the IJN
JKN British Class of destroyer (Matchbox, Deans Marine)
U-Boat ??? long range

The ones that are missing: USS Houston (8" cruiser), HMAS Perth/Hobart (long considered one of the best looking pre-WWII cruisers), and HMAS Australia/Canberra.

In military:
25 pdr
Matilda mk II (used extensively by Australian forces)

In aircraft
Seafire
Walrus

there might be appropriate French and Dutch cruiser models.

I have ignored the often ignored Indian Ocean and the South East Asia Command. That would have brought in more British equipment and ships. IIRC the Admiral Scheer, Graf Spee. Graf Spee may have made it to the Pacific but I remember she was badly battered around Cape Horn.

Sorry if I am a bit vague on some of the details and I know I am missing some military items but 99% of all my references and models are still packed from moving. (FSM seems to have ignored my change of address as well)
