1944 Group Build

Count me in as well.  (Of course, I have to finish my '43 entry first.)

I plan on going with a 1:48 Mosquito from either 464 or 487 Squadron RAAF as they flew in Operation Jericho.

This will be my first non-single-seat-fighter/non-US warplane.  So, lots of firsts with this build.  I think the manufacturer will be Tamyia, I'm still researching for who builds the Mk VI.

I will join with an 1/72 Airfix P-51.  Apparently it comes with 1944 decals so I will build OOB.

Just sent an email to my LHS to order it

Hmmm, I love a fresh GB. Let's go with a 1/72 Academy P-47D 'Eileen'. I have sprayed the interior colour, but that's it. I hope that keeps me under the 20% limit. I wanted to use up the paint when I did my Frog P-47 earlier this year :)

Cheers

No problem. I changed it for you.

Thanks SS!  My apologies...it is 1/35.

Eagle: Sounds interesting! You're on the list!

Bish: Yes, it does come with a special "goodie". Nothing fancy like pieces from an actual Fw 190, but a replica of the Hellcat's checklist for take-off and landing:

I'm in for sure!  What a great GB!  I'll join with the 1/32 DML German V-2(#9002)!  Might be a little "extra" items for a small dio base, but that is the official entry.  How cool!  Thanks for picking this up Bish and SS!

O, nice choice. I know a couple of the German Royal kits came with some nice goodies, does this one.

I think I'll start this one off with my entry:

I'll build an Eduard Hellcat (royal class):

As far as markings go, I'm leaning towards Alexander Vraciu's aircraft, based on the USS Intrepid in February 1944 (decals robbed from Eduard's F6F-3 profipack)

I might add another build, probably a vehicle that saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge...
