build will start on December 7th 2011 and end on December 7th 2012.

Always a good thing. There was a PHB here for years, before the "big change". Big Joe ran it.

I would say start it now, not on 12/7. That way comes the time, there'll be folks with WIP

This is a hard one to host. Because the emotional content is high, if you want to run it be prepared to be on line every day with information and updates.

I am in. I think I will go for the gold on this one though. I will do a Zero, Val, and a Jill. All are in 1/72 scale. I should be done with most of my oher commitments by then. Can't wait.

If someone besides revell makes a P-40 from Pearl Harbor, I'll build it, just not a fan of the revell one.

I think Revell is the only game in town for the B/C Warhawks, in 1/48

If I remember correctly, Accurate Miniatures did a Pearl Harbor SBD. I might try to find one and do that. Ive got a little less than 6 months to figure it out :P

Real RB:

Here is the list:

Hasegawa 1/72 A6M2 Zero: with Saburo Sakai "1942 Rabul" markings I figure it is the same A/C as the Zero that attacked PH

Hasegawa 1/72 B5N2 Nate: Hiryu Gp PH 1941.

Fujimi 1/72 Aichi Type 99 Val: PH markings?
