Posted by fightnjoe on Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:33 PM
yes folks i am starting early but i want to promote a pearl harbor group build for 2005. this build will entail all aspects and subjects of the attack. with a beginning date of august 7, 2005 and ending 7:55 am your time december 7, 2005.

the rules:

-all a/c, ships, vehicles, and equipment involved in the attack. military or civilian. and yes that means autos if you can find a pic of one to use.

-all pe, am, and special stuff is ok

-everyone will be welcome.

-multiple builds of the same subject perfectly acceptable


what this means is all subjects are covered. everyone is invited. the end date and time is to coincide with the beginning of the attack.

I never finished the 2004 build. I think this is enough notice for me to prepare. Something to look forward to after the Blacksheep build.

Since I'm mostly done with my Zero from last year, Put me down for a Nichimo 1/48 B5N2 "Kate".

this is shaping up faster than i thought it would. as this build will be on at least two web sites, when you get to the building stage if you wish to post on just one that will not be a problem. the finished i will set up a photobucket account and put them all there. i am not going to put down the kits yet it is way too early, and this is not in concrete(it is, afterall just a hobby) these are just those who showed an interest.

Dose that mean we are subjest to a few kits out there?

That would mean you yourself would have to referee

Tough job your'e taking on.....but I would still like to partake in this build....

tom i will allow the enterprise but only as she appeared that day. i allow this because she was nearly at the harbor on that morning. her escorts had arrived on saturday and her planes were inbound on the final leg of a search. they actually arrived durring the attack.


now as for links. i ask no i plead with you if you find good sites link us up. sharing info is the most important part of these builds.

I am going to jump in with a 1/72 scale F4F-3 Wildcat of VMF-211. (I hope to find the correct decals for it) This Marine Squadron was more famous for it's defense of Wake. But from looking at what aircraft were involved and the kits available I reckon that this was a "unique" choice with some interesting history behind it.

Plus it means I will not have to do a Japanesse plane with those #^$*^%@*($) greenhouse canopies !!! (LOL)
