Thanks to Joe [and others] for the help in keeping this project going. Page 2 of the same topic in the aircraft forum has a comlpete list of names and posible builds, sorry for not keeping the same post to this forum.

G'day Folk's,

Firstly: sorry for the delays in keeping this at the front, I have several projects going at once at times, for those that don't know me, I'm the owner and co founder of Scale Magic [a resin conversion and component manufacturer], a Contract model maker to the RAAF and several other groups and individuals, have been involved in recent weeks with the Acc Min Company in a decal option to their TBF Avenger kit.
I've sent an e-mail to the Power's to Be and asked for this to be reposted in the GB forum, nothing has happened as yet.
Secondly: thanks Joe for all the help in everything you have done for me with this project.

In answer to MarianLH's question, the only Commonwealth AFV used in this theartre was the Aussie modified Matilda II [I have some information on the modifications and conversions of this particular AFV]. All other AFV's were Lend Lease
Yes the CBI is a major part of the Pacific Theatre, the area of this conflict cover's from the West Coast of the U.S.A . Alaska, the Eastern Coast line of Asia, threw the Malayian Peninsula, across the top of Australia and all the islands in between.

Regards.

G'day Folk's,

Sorry I've let slip with not keeping up with this, I have asked for this Group Build to have a forum thread of it's own. I've put everything on the aircraft forum posts, I'm sorry, the start date is 11/1/2004 and the finish date is 31/5/2005. I've used these dates for a couple of reasons, but this is the time frame my part of an ongoing contract build with the RAAF Orfficer Training School has a significant break. The other is some of the members live in regions that are subject to heavy snow fall.

Here I've compiled all the names

Dwight Ta-ala

I've decided to do CGM's USAAF "Burma Jeep," the 1/35 Ford GTB 1 1/2 ton truck. Because it's a beautiful kit and I'll never get around to it on my own. Smile [:)]
