Pacific 60th GB idea

Ya, As I said in your last post, I might join in with an Amtank.

This should be a winner. Generous time frame also. Maybe then would be the time to build that wingy-thingy sitting on my shelf.

Hmmmmmm I have a F6F wingy thingy calling me, with this time frame of a november begining I should be able to do this. Count me in.

sounds like it could be a good idea cause the time frame is so long and im committed to the Commonwealth and Stug builds

Great idea, Rob. Finally a GB regarding something that happened in my side of the globe. LOL. Let me see if I can get something for it.

I preordered the Midway Dauntless, might work well timing-wise.

It would actually be approaching the 63rd for that.

Yes sounds good to me (my first oneGB that is) Now I have to think about what sort of german afv they used in the Pacific

there are some fantastic oportunities in this idea. i have been chatting quite a bit with rob over some of them. i hope to see more members look at it.

joe

Sounds interesting. The time frame is definitely a good thing, as it would give members plenty of time to join in. Not certain about myself yet, but we'll see as it comes closer.

Hi Rob. that build sounds great,count me in.do you want update pics or just the finished pics? let us all know .cheers mate

For armor these are SOME of the choices:

Allies

Japanese
Type 1 "Ho-Ni I" Tank Destroyer

I'll check for some more options...

You forgot The anphibious stuff!

LVT-4 Amtrac- thats what I want to build.
LVT(A)-1 Alligator

The Japanese also had a variety of WWI stuff, including a Whippet and FT-17.

The Rules even in draft form:

3. Histirically Accurate
4. No obligation to finish, for whatever reason within the time frame
5. Any member can join in after the starting date

Wasn't there some Commonwealth armour over there as well? Or was it all lend-lease stuff like those Grants?

Also, does "Pacific" include the CBI theatre, or just the Island-hopping arc of the campaign?

Great idea, by the way.


M.

m. cbi is included in this. i do believe there were some commonwealth armor there. but i am not sure.

lobbie posted this a little earlier today. thought i would post the update as both a/c and armor had the original post.

joe

I'd like to join this build also. Possibly with a Devastator or P-61. Maybe a Rufe float plane.

You are correct that's why I emphasized the word "SOME" in my post.. Also while there were certainly British Armor in the are I am not very familiar with them so I did mention any.

Hey Joe thanks for bringing this one back. I was begining to wonder if maybe it had fallen into the black hole. I'm still in with a wingy thingy. Promise not to let any of my fellow treadheads know about this one Joe. I think my armor kits are getting suspicious tho.

"bump"
