Here's a suggestion.
1941. Not necessarily the year but the Movie!
Pick any vehicle or setting from the movie and give it the Modeler's Alliance treatment. That simple. This would be a great way to blend in both Armor, Aircraft and civilian subjects.
Vehicles that could be modeled would be:
[ul]
Japanese Sub
Capt Wild Bill Kelso's P40 Tomahawk
40mm AA gun
U.S. 2 1/2 ton truck
B17E in natural metal finish
B24 Mitchell
Multitude of T6 Texans
Hollis P. (you ain't gonna get shit out of me, I've been constipated all week long and it ain't a damn thing you can do about it) Wood's pickup truck. I'm sure someone can ID that truck. Was it a Model T?
M3 Lee Tank (Markings the same as Lulubelle in honor of Sahara)
Maybe even a bust of Capt. Wolfgang von Kleinschmidt (KLEINSchmidt?)
See where I'm going? Anything that appears in the Movie 1941 which, considering the slapstick comedy that it is, vehicles, locations and even some events is very historical.
heck, if you're feeling REALLY into the spirit of this, recreate the model of the farriswheel and the Santa Monica pier.
HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!
If you haven't seen the movie, treat yourself. It's a hit or miss with some folks, but knowing modelers and their appreciation of the time period this movie is set in, I bet you would enjoy it.
Whatcha say?
