Cat daddy, i have had a good think on it. The IAF markings would not work as the State of Israel did not exist until 1948. Unless your thinking of an Israeli unit flying with allied forces, so if it had Isaeli markings but a USAAF type scheme, that might work.

Corsair it is then, unless something else shiny catches my eye between now and then. I'm going to the model show in Olivehurst, CA on Saturday so who knows what I'll find for sale.

Bish

Does it have indy tracks or rubber bands.

Rubber bands. If things are slow next year, I may jump in with something additional.

Yeah, with your GB, that makes 3 that I will be working on in 2016. That's enough for now. I wamt to worlk on some non Group Build related stuff as well.

Well I just bought a 1/48 Tamiya He-163 Salamander so put me down for that one, too, please.

You know you will be more than Welcome to join in with as many as you want. But like you I am trying to avoid over committing myself. I am actually tying to squeeze in a build that won't be GB related at some point.

 

You and me both. So far this is the only GB for next year I have joined. I intend to keep it at a very low level with GBs this coming year.

As a possible second build, a B-50? But the production version didn't fly until 1947 (no prototypes).

Anyways, def on the P-80.  I am going to probably backdate a P-80C to an A, but it's not a big difference unless the rivet *** descend on me for 6 spoke wheels etc.

332nd Fighter Group, Termoli Italy 1946. P-80 B.

Sword model 1/72.

Academy 1/72 B-50. Probably Pacific Theater out of Kunming China, the Twentieth Airforce under General Curtis LeMay.

I'm voting for the E-75 if the voting is still open. 

My vote would be the E-10. 

------------------

I notice mention of the 'what if' element and wondering how this pertains towards schemes and markings.  I am thinking, regardless of whether or not the country actually fielded a particular equipment, the finish should still reflect 1946, and can't be coloured as it appeared say in 1948 or 1950?

regards,

Jack

I'm sitting here at work at lunch and bored so I figured I'd pinch GAF's list and add a few subjects of my own. Here's a bunch of models of hardware that either saw very limited service or missed the war plus a few paper projects. Not to speak for Bish but I think all of them would be workable. 

GM, got your builds added, glad to have you on board.

Moff, Jack, thanks for the votes. Voteing is open until the GB starts.

Jack, well, within reason. With Luft 46 builds and Paper Pz's i like to take the colours they used and evolve the actual schemes into how it may have appeared. Of course, with machines that actually entered service, its hard to say how the colours would have changed. And from what i can see, many of the schemes used at the end of the war were still in use in Korea, maybe with some alteration.

Gamera, from my limited knowledge of none German subjects, i think all of those would be ok. I know the IS-4 was in use. I can see a couple there they were versions of production machines and otehrs certainly look like they would fit. Thnaks for posting those.

Makes sense to me, though I don't know if there should really be a rule. It is '46 after all, and we should have some freedom to mess around.

*Hurm* I saw this kit in the bargain-bin at Hobbytown in Fresno a few weeks ago. Had I known, I would have picked it up. And Fresno is a bit too far away for a return visit.

Bish I've dedided on a German Panzertriebwagen Locomotive in 1/35 by Trumpeter. 

Thanks, Terry

Bish here are a couple of Panzertriebwagens in two different base colors. 

Terry

I do Bish, its etched out and includes a POW Camp and an Allies escape. I'm thinking on calling it "A Great Escape".

I know, how does an armored locomotive fit into this, well as I get working it'll play itself out. (I Hope)

Aaaaa! More Panzer Gray! 

You bet Steve and Bish not to far off there. 

CD: Whoa! Just missed it on that one. I'd thought about picking up the kit but have the older Classic Airframes kit of the Hornet. And since I bought the thing now I feel I'm bound to build it.

Terry: Now that's cool! After building the railgun that's going to look cool on the shelf next to it.

Okay, Pencil me in for the Soviet T-55 1:35 scale. I'm not sure which manufactorer I can get, I'll let you know more on this at a later date.

Bish

I am tempted to make a comment about the scale, but I will resist.

What kit brand is it.

 

resist you must. there is only One True Scale

I'll  join with a Luft '46 winged thingie or i could get back on my ME-264, it's not very far along and needs A LOT of structural support. or a K-5 RR gun carriage with a V-1 or V-2 Launch assy.

Hay Bish I would like to enter in my 1/35 Academy T-34/85 Russian tank.  Picked up this new kit for about $36.00 USD at my local hobby shop.  This'll be my first Russian tank.

Ken, i am not to sure about the 55. The T-54 only enetred service in 1946, the 55 only coming along in the late 50's. If there is a kit of the 54, or a 55 than can be bult as a 54, that would be fine. Would be greta to have you on board if you can.

wayne, be nice to se that 264 get finished. let me know what you decide.

Dan, nice to have you on board.
