Would you put me down as TBD? I know it'll be in 1/35, just haven't decided what yet.

I have made my decision on my project, a 1/35 Tamiya M40.  I also splurged on their upgrade set for the metal barrel.

I started the AFV Club version some years back, with disastrous results following a hobby table collapse, hopefully it goes better with the 2nd attempt.

Ok, sure thing! I do think A-26s were used in Korea, but maybe not the K variant... Big Smile

Hehe, we would of gone along building and your model would have been ahead of the time quite literally!

John, I don't know what I was thinking, the B-26K came along after Korea, it was a Viet Nam combatant.  Please change me to the Tamiya F-84G, 1/48.

Hey John, I think I might be up for this!  I've built very few models from that timeframe, but have quite a few in the stash.  Sign me up for at least a Dragon1/35 M26A-1 Pershing tank to start off with:

Ernest

Last Armor Build - 1/35 Dragon M-26A1, 1/35 Emhar Mk.IV Female

     

Last Aircraft Builds - Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F Wildcat & FW-190A8

Nice, Ziggy! Yes

I like getting 1/48 aircraft kits and 1/35 armor kits personally; but I do have a 1/72 Airfix Tomahawk which I haven’t built yet.

Ziggy, that sounds pretty interesting.  I build exclusively 1/72 in aircraft, and armor,  but I have always stuck with 1/24 and 1/25 in autos.  Which I haven't finished one in years.  I'm looking forward to your upcoming diorama. 

So far, all I've done on my AD-4W is paint the engine and propeller while painting the ones for my An-2 in the Vietnam GB.  I really want to build a USMC machine, so I'm hoping the aftermarket comes through.  Otherwise, I will be piecing together the markings.  I got some time before I have to worry about it though.

Hey Greg,

I like everything 1/72 scale, armor, automobiles and aircraft.  I plan to do a diorama with my two tanks in front of a building marked 'Military Museum' or 'Korean War Museum', complete with people and cars in the parking lot.

your shipmate,

Ziggy

Your tank sure has the extras, Sigep! Surprise 

wolfhammer1 - Go towards the bottom of the page to the section (box) above the “Search Forums” box. Then click “Settings”. There is an area for your Signature in which you can add writing and/or insert a picture just as you would in a regular forum post. If you have multiple pictures to insert (either now or eventually, after you collect multiple GB badges), you can insert a GIF instead of individual pictures to conserve space in your signature.

WOW!  I got the 1/72 M24 Chaffee in the mail yesterday.  I ordered the Mamoth Edition and all I can say is wow!  I hope I can build it in a reasonable amount of time, looks like a thousand parts, brass barrel, photo etch, resin wheels and decals.  The box is huge!

Will post photos soon.

 

your shipmate,

Ziggy

I'm in. Put me down for something in 1/72 with wings. Most likely in overall glossy sea blue.

I decided on the 1/72 Italeri B-26K, and I'll add the Quickboost engine set and also a resin tail correction set from Whirleybirds.

Sure thing and Welcome! 

Underneath the GB badges, there’s a link to a webpage where you can maybe pick up some ideas; or you could go really out of the box and build a ship that participated in the Korean War. Big Smile

I will gladly join this GB, but I must rummage through the stash to find what my build will be. I am sure that with all the WW2 kits there, I can come up with something though.
