Hi Check, put me down for a 1/35 Daimler Dingo from Miniart. 

I will be doing it in Calgary regiment colours, to commemorate the raid on Dieppe.

regards,

Jack

Goes without saying. Put medown for the Dragon 1/35th Pz II Ausf. Another urban dio, this time a factory ruin in Stalingrad.

Welcome to the GB, Jack and Bish.  Always glad to have your participation!

Jack, I've read all of Mark Zuehlke's books on the Canadians in Europe after Juno Beach, including Tragedy at Dieppe.  He's a vibrant and compelling author.  Most of us south of the border have little awareness about Canada's participation in the war.

Bish, I've read Enemy at the Gates a few times over the years, also Antony Beevor's Stalingrad.  Hitler Moves East has always kept my interest, too.  It ends with the surrender of the German Sixth Army.  Stalingrad was certainly a decisive event in the war.

I look forward to seeing your builds.  They're always top-notch!  Thanks for joining in.    

Glad to have you join, tj!  I'll update the roster with a "TBD."

Check,

I'd like to jump in with the 1/350 Aoshima 1942 Takao. I don't know yet if she will be in a seascape or on a stand.

Roster is updated, Steve.  Looks to be an awesomely impressive ship.

Looks to be an awesomely impressive ship.

Shaw! I need to take a pic of the trees! I will also be buying the PE set for her.

At 1/350, this must be loaded with parts--and the PE should make it all the more outstanding.  I look forward to seeing it come together.

Thanks for joining up with the GB!

Here are the sprue trees.

That is a lot!  

And a 13 page instruction book as well.

I orderd the White Ensign Models PE set for it so they should be here in a week or so.

You're going to be one busy shipbuilder.

I think I'll get in on this one as well. I have no idea what I'll build, but it's safe to say I have something in the stash from 1942. Likely and Avenger or Helldiver, or something along those lines, and 1/48 scale. I'll update you when I figure that out.

BK

Edit: Put me down for a Battle of Midway Vindicator, 1/48 Accurate Miniatures 

I'd like to get in on this with the 1/48 Zevda bf109 F-4 please.

Put me down for these three,

Dragon 1/35 Panzer III Ausf. N

Nice collection there Dan. Will be watching that Stuka especially.

Welcome to the GB, Brandon, rooster and Dan.  Great choice of models for 1942.  Very glad to have you all along for the ride.

Roster is updated with your selections.

I'll do this one.

Welcome to the GB, Gerhard.  Roster is updated.

That will be a sizeable effort.  The Mosquito was a slick-looking aircraft.

I'd like to sign up.  Valom's 1/72 Devastator in Ens. George Gay's markings.

I would like to enter but my model is yet to be determined.

Thanks buddy. Yes, it is going to be a huge challenge. 600+ parts, 253 stages. 

lewbud and Daniel:

Welcome to the GB.  Thanks for your participation.

lew:  I've got Airfix's and Admiral's Devastators, in 1/72, sitting around.  I look forward to seeing what Valom's offering is like.

Daniel:  when you decide, I'll update the roster again. 

The 75th anniversary GB for 1942 will commence at 12:00 midnight tonight at the turn of the year, whenever that is at your local time.

Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve and Day!

Looking forward to starting the Takao.

Loking forward to this one. I won't be starting mine until around the middle of the year, so will be keeping an eye on what the rest of you guys are doing.

Happy New Year to all.
