Well, as promised, here's some progress of my Nakajima Ki27, with a blue cockpit! And its initial coat of paint.




For my in progress build write up at my site...

Nice badge! As for starting the build, I've already closed up my Ki-27 and have given it its initial coat. Maybe I'll get a chance to post some pictures later this week or next.

I really like the badge too. It looks great. In the smaller ones the 2005 gets a little lost over the red; I wonder if it was adjusted to be all over white if it would show better. Just a thought, but really, it looks great!!

As for building yet? Nope. I was going to do a hasegawa 1/48 oscar (a friend bought it from me) or tamiya's 1/32 zero (decided to save that until I really feel that I have the skills to not destroy such an expensive kit), so I have now decided to go with a hasegawa 1/48 frank. I have two build going right now and am incredibly slow, but the frank will be next up after those two (fall sometime?)

Good to atleast see this thread popping to the top, but like others, I can't wait to see some progress pics. Should probably go work on my builds so that I can't progress towards progressing :-)

Pronounced as Ni Hon. That's "Japan" in Japanese. Was thinking about putting things like "kamikaze" or soldier spirit (Tamiya's 1/35 Type 74 JGSDF tank had that as a decal, flip through the most current month's FSM mag in the readers' gallery section you will see it.), but decided to keep these crazy ideals they got away from the GB...

Oh yea, forgot to post what kit i was planning to build. Actually right now i am stuck among almost too many GBs, but i am debating whether to build that old Tamiya Zero kit or the newer Shiden that i actually finally have a PE set for.

tried to make the badges.







looked alrite when i first started, really nice and clean but then i started to look for those kanji characters and things got crowded... oh well.

the reason for using the zero... well who can state against the fact that zeros are the most well-known name for japanese aircraft in wwII.

Just curious, is anyone building their planes yet? I know the time frame is May 05 to May 06 so we have lots of time.

I've got two builds going strong right now with a third to be started in September. I plan to start my oscar sometime in late October.

How about the Japanese flag instead of the imperial flag, as the imperial flag is not used after WWII.

Digger, I like your idea of the imperial flag with a flight of AC. BTW I'm doing a KI-43I Hayabusa (Oscar), not an A6M (Thats my Pearl Harbour build).

As far as the badge thing goes,any designs or ideals will be welcomed.My ideal on this is the impereal flag with a flight of aircraft.I don't know yet how to do this on a computer,so any help will be welcomed.Digger

Since it doesn't end till June 2006, count me in. I thinking of a 1/48 Nakajima Ki.27 Type 97 "Nate" in Manchukuo markings. Anyone have a group badge idea yet?

I am just finishing up my n1k1 george that I started before the group build began, so it doesn't count, but I am still planning on doing at least the oscar or the zero.
