Great looking Ki-84. Chipping looks good.

Frightful: Good to hear, sounded pretty rough, glad to hear everything and everyone is fine.

Thanks Gamera but the wind is really the only danger here.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! And woohoo my first badge!

I've had a great time doing this group build and hope to do a lot more in the future.

Gamera: I actually do have a Hien in the stash too but two weeks would probably be pushing it I think, and not with that curse hovering around. 

Frightful: I've been waiting for a long time to see some nice photos of that Yamato of yours. 

ACK!!! I musta been half asleep when I posted last night- I meant two months not two weeks, end date of Sept 1 unless you guys want an extension.

Sorry

LOL :D i wishing for an extension , theres another one or two  jap planes that wishing to add here

Ok, I'll keep that in mind! I'll ask around again when we're down to a month or less to go

Again, crossing my fingers that I'll have the Zero done before too much longer.

Plus I've done a little work on this, not sure I can get done in two months but that gives me more incentive to start an extension myself:

LOL nice boxed tank :D

Blitzwing that is exceptional,really nice weathering!!!Very nicely done Sir!

Ok here are the pictures for the yamato.

I hope that this is enough pictures for the completed group build.  I have never done this before.

Nice work! Great to see you get this monster done!

Put down photo number five on the roster, let me know if you want it changed.

Again - congrads!

Finally done! You must be happy to get this one out of the way Frightful. Very nice work.

Yamato finished!!!  well done FRIGHTFUL6_7 !! nice idea about the lifeboat on the back crane 

As you paint with brushes (if i'm right about) try to thinning more paints next time, some error is visible on some point 

Thanks guys I always like putting neat little things like the crane on my bigger models.

bsyamato Thanks for the tip i am still experimenting with thinning after spilling half a bottle in our shed once (the only spot i am allowed to mix paints).

Thannks BW but now my next big kit is the Revell Ju 88 1/ 32 scale.

What a gargantuan ship ! Very nice detail work, I love the 'Pete's' and 'Jake's' on the deck. This must e a real eyecatcher :-)

Wow, I've just scanned through the completed builds, this GB has been huge. Can I sneak in late with a Kawanishi Shiden 'George' ? It's the 1/72 Tamiya one.

Cheers

Sure! You're more than welcome! The GB is set to end on Sept 1 so you've got about a month and half to go. Bsyamato has brought up the idea of an extension so if you run over a little it's no big deal.

Sorry, I've kinda let things down on my end here, but I've been a little burnt out lately. Almost all the decals on the tail of my Zero silvered and I've tried a number of things but can't remove it, I guess I'll have to paint it all over and try to piece together replacement markings. I just hate to take the plunge. Haven't done much of anything to the small tank, it's been sitting there in the box since I posted it.

Sounds like me on the P-47 GB...but I'm thinking my next build after the current trio will be a Jug of one kind or another (torn between a 1/32 Hasegawa or 1/48 Tamiya).

If you were to extend it to, say, end of the year I might be down for another build. Had a lot of fun with the George and wouldn't mind tackling another meatball special.

Well, I wouldn't mind pushing on to the end of the year and Bsyamato had mentioned an interest. That makes two and with you Doogs as a possible three.

Anyone else interested in an extension???

wishing so Cliff  in all cases i'm not able to put nothing in the workbench before september 

Well, if you`re gonna twist my arm, I prolly can dig another Jap kit outta my stash....

I''ve been busy on other builds lately but sure I could fit another one or two here in before year end so extension welcome from my side

Have recently acquired Val, Kate & Grace  kits (all Hasagewa 1/48) to add to my Jap collection which I am looking forward to, Then there's still the box of single seater fighters I intended to do ......

Taxtp: Ok, you're on the roster!

Oh what the ok guys- end date is now December 31st 2012.

Anyone that still wants to enter something is more than welcome, if you're busy no big deal either way.

And of course no penalty if you don't finish in any case!!!

Cool ! I will certainly whip something up before New Year. I'll let you know asap :-)

Great thanks Gamera, a little more time will help. I hope I get some leave between Christmas and New Years, think I'm going to need some time at the bench.

Cheers

Tony

Just posting to update the "last post" link... actually don't work :(

the good to ear the new end date!! well we face the maya prophecy

Cliff, let you decide which will my next kit here :D

options are these

Tenzan fujimi 72

Val fujimi 72

Raiden hasegawa 72

radial judy fujimi 72

Nice to see you're back Troublemaker :)

bsyamato

Nice to see you're back Troublemaker :)

Vincent, Tony, Bsyamato, and Len - you guys are more than welcome. I'm still pleasantly surprised at how many great models everyone contributed to this GB. I'd figured everyone would be burnt-out on Japanese subjects by now but I'd love to see a few more!

Bsyamato: Yeah, the last page link doesn't work at all for some reason, hmmmmmm. Any of those models would look great! I guess I'd lean toward the Tenzen just because I don't think I've seen one in this GB or in the aircraft section.

Len: I know how that is, haven't gotten much done myself. After the decals silvered on the Zero, I needed to set it aside and take a break.

BTW: a little off the wall but Emi Ito, one of the twins in the Japanese pop group the Peanuts passed away about a month ago and I just heard. The 'Peanuts' are probably best known outside Japan as the tiny twin fairies that hung out with Mothra in the Mothra/Godzilla movies.

Now I've got to decide if I want to try for the 1/32 Ki-61, or the 1/48 Ki-84...

Either one of those sounds fantastic
