Pearl Harbor 2015...Thank You All

Hi Joe,

I'm thinking of an old 1/72 MPC SBD-1 from the Enterprise.

Joe, I think the airplane used for recon by the Japanese was an Aichi E-13A Jake, a twin float seaplane based on battleships and cruisers.  I have the Nichimo kit of that in 1/48.  You can put me down for building the B5N on my list as my primary subject, the Hasegawa 1/48 kit.

The A6M2-N Rufe's first flight was December 7, December 6 our time.

I absolutely agree about the 1/48 injection molded kit.  Been screaming for one for a long time.

Modelcrazy not a problem at all.  Just let me know.

Joe

Sounds cool Joe, I am just really swamped right now. I'll let you know as I finish my commitments.

If I do, it would be a 1/72 Hase A6M2 Type 0, Model 21.

Joe, that B-18 kit looks so neat! Someone needs to step up to the plate and make an injection B-18 in 1/48. And a Douglas B-23 as well. I would jump all over that.

From my heart I thank you my friends for joining me on this adventure.  

As for me and a couple of days of thought, the Vindicator is the choice.  Really it was not a hard one.  

The entry list is now current as of this post.  

Joe

Do the Windicator Joe!

Can I do a F-14 from The Final Countdown?  Just kidding, Airfix's 1/72 Zero.

I vote for the Vindicator joe!

John you are correct with those three.  There was another, the float version of the Zeke was used for recon over the targets earlier in the morning.  

Joe

Near as I can tell there were three airplanes from the Japanese side that were at Pearl Harbor, the A6M2, B5N2, and D3A1.  I have all three of these in Hasegawa boxings, so I will start with the Zero and see how far I get.  All 1/48.

I am thrilled to see the interest.

I will work on the list and get that all ready.  

As for me I have a decision to make.  I have four kits that interest me right now.

These are the four I am choosing from.  I am actually leaning toward the Vindicator.  I really want to build that one.

Joe

Joe, I'll take a stab at it.  Either a Zero Kate or Val.  Coin flip comin'!!

Joe, I'll join with something Japanese that flies.

I'm in, don't know what though. Since I live next to pearl harbor I will stare out the window will I have an Idea.

It'll either be a Hasegawa Kate or an Academy P-36.

Lets see how many are good with it and then I can compile a list.  

Joe

In not sure what.

In, but Idk with what.

Sounds interesting........Hmm

Great idea Joe!
