Campaign for 2017- Midway

[iambrb]

OK-OK...I have been flip=flopping on this like crazy, I am just not thrilled with the early US aircraft...so I will join Gary and go with a 1/72 scale KATE torpedo/bomber

Looks like I am in for the B-26, Mike West says he can fix up a short wing conversion set for me, ordered his torpedo for it also. I'll use a Monogram kit.

Jeeves, you are doing a great job here! I just re-posted this so anyone (well, me more than most) can see where se currently stand. I have the Airfix Kate on da' awy! I am thinking i may actually do this with wings folded! I do not know why I find that so neat, just do

Forum is open.

What was the time frame for this?

 

[Jeeves]

I think you guys had said 6 months- is that enough time for everyone though?

6 months works with me, & I am going to need every bit of it too.

Wanted to join this campaign but didnt have anything in the stash that worked for Midway, looked around but didnt find anything that appealed, Im not a ship guy as I mainly model armor but occasionally I turn to the dark side and do a plane. In the end I found the old Tamiya Nakajimi A6M2-N Rufe seaplane for a good price so I ordered it for this, Im hoping it comes with markings for the Midway time period.

M3 Stuart would work nicely, just sayin'.......
