Endgame 1946 GB - 1/1/09-12/31/09

This is the official thread for the "Endgame 1946" GB. The group build will run from 1/1/09-12/31/09. (But may be extended if necessary)

This GB is based on the question: What if the war hadn't ended until 1946? So the builds that are allowed must be of late-WWII or was a prototype/paper-project during the war. i.e.-"paper-panzers" and luft '46 aircraft. This is a great time to bust out an E-100, Meteor, or try some crazy, late-war, paint job.

Anybody is welcome to join. Airplanes, armor, ships; they are all allowed.

     Rules

• Build must be of a late-war or prototype/proposed subject. In other words, it must have been in service during or after the crossing of the Rhine and Oder in Europe and the Invasion of Okinawa in the Pacific.
• If it is an early-war project, such as the Dicker Max, it must be brought up to date by replacing early-war parts with late-war parts and such.
• Developements right after the war are allowed like the F-84 Thunderjet and such.
• Kits must be minimally started or unstarted.
• AM, PE, and Scratchbuilding are welcome.
• Any scale.
• Crossovers are allowed as long as they are not started until January 1.
• Multiple entries are also allowed and encouraged.
• Any what-ifs are allowed if approved by me first.
• The most important one: Have Fun!

Here is a brief list of appropriate armor and aircraft I have compiled. I probably have missed something, so if something is not on the list, feel free to let me know. Also, I am not real familiar with late-war ships/submarines, therefore, if building a ship, let me know and I will do research to find if it is appropriate.

Many planes and protoypes are left out of my list. There are many planes in the lists in the links that will not count.

Remember, it MUST have been in service in 1945 or later. A proposed/prototype plane must have been designed during WWII or just after WWII. A plane designed in 1946 or early 1947 are ok as well.

You can jump in anytime, just as long as it is completed by September 1, 2009. Just leave me a post or message with what you will be building. Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments.
