I forgot what I was going to do for this, but I'm still in. I do have several models I could do for this.
Can we get a start date or something?

That's a cool looking scheme on that Jayhawk. It would look good in 1/35 scale!I have a 1/72 scale kit of one of these,

Clear up right!

Sounds like an interesting incident, when did it happen? Any more information on it?
Regards,
Yeah, happened in JAN 1944. AS a cousin of mine, Lt.(jg) Herbert C. Shively USNR had rescued a Marine Corps pilot of VMF-422 which became known as "The Lost Squadron". He earned the USN & Marine Corps Medal. So, this will be done as a water dio of the rescue... Which will be my first attempt at doing water But, that'll come waay later tho... :drinks

Thanks Saul! I still remember where those are. So when does this start, or has it already?

Currently planning out my build year, and the end is looking a little light. This could work into fulfilling my desire to eventually piece together 1 aircraft from each squadron of my Air Wing (CVW-11) from when I was in the service. Since one of the primary roles (and THE primary role during flight ops) of the USN SH-60 was rescue ops, would a standard fleet goer (HS-6) still be acceptable even though they don't sport any "SAR" markings? :huh:
OK boys, you're on.
How many Squad 51 builds we gonna have?

Mine will likely be a late year entry w/ a HH-60...assuming I can figure out what the hell I'm gonna do about the HS-6 markings. I've yet to find them in 1/72. :S
I want to look at getting a couple other builds done first (Naval/Pearl/Torpedo?/Gulf War?). I'm going to refrain from getting too many irons in the fire. :coolio
