Love the French Indochina theme!! One of my favourite subject. Always wanted to build a French Ju 52. Thanks for the pictures! Paul

Love these type of subjects! Great build. Great background too

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing! I was in Madagascar a couple of years ago. Still a very rugged country!

Love these kinds of conflicts! Great looking sheet with several aircraft I have on my "to do" list. I had bought some MAV DECALs for a Katanan C47 I'm very eager to get stared on. And yes I agree with Steve, Nigeria/Biafra would make a very interesting subject if some of the Mercy Airlift aircraft could be included! Cheers Paul

A very cool idea! Always wanted to do a Katangan C47. Would be very interested. Cheers Paul

Not an authority on the T-6 at all but it is one of my favourite aircraft! I find the use of it as a combat aircraft in Biafra, Congo, Portuguese Africa to name a few, of great interest. Have the Academy 1/72 boxng, looks quite nice but am stalling as to what conflict to build it as. Great insite as to the various makes, versions and builds on this thread. Thanks to everyone! Paul

I assume the colour of the PBY is the same for the DO24? Late 41, early 42???? Paul

Sanguin, Thank you for the reply! Saying that none of the aviation fans here have read the book may be proof that the book is more Naval based than not. I may still purchase. Not sure. Thanks again, Paul

Hello Gentlemen...and Lady's?? I have a keen interest in the early months of the Pacific campaigns... Dec 7/41 - June 7/42. I've notice a book "Allied Defence of the Malay Barrier" by Tom Womack. Just curious, but is it more viewed towards the naval battles or the air/land /sea battles as a whole. It looks very interesting and I would just like some insite before making a possible purchase. Thanks in advance for any opinions and answers. Paul

I've read "The Hands of Fate". Great read. I like to build different subjects and the PBY-4 is not a common build as the PBY-5 is. For that matter I'd like to build a B17-C ,Philippines campaign as opposed to an F or G version. I find the PBY-4 being used as a bomber, transport, recon, rescue aircraft during the Philippine invasion amazing. At that point in the war it was use what you have any way you can! Cheers Paul

Thank you all for the responses! The early Pacific campaign is a favourite of mine and the early PBY- 4's of PatWing 10 is of great interest. Hopefully I will start with this project in the new year(hopefully). Thanks again to all and Merry Christmas! Paul

Would like to build a PBY 4 Catalina that flew in the Phillipines 1941/42. Curious as to the colour of said aircraft. Overall blue over white?? or possibly a camo of greyish/blues over white or other. I've heard of both and just wondering if anyone has a definitive answer. Thanks Paul

Don't be discouraged with the 139-WH3 not being a viable build. Go with the Williams Brothers B-10 in NEIAF markings. It's too interesting a project to throw by the wayside. I'd be interested to see how you proceed with the build as I am thinking of doing the Martin B-10 in Dutch markings also! Don't throw in the towel yet. Build on!! Cheers Paul

Great subject, great MIG ! Love these kind of off the beaten track subjects! I've been planning on building a MIG 23 with Angolan markings myself. Hope you continue with more African aircraft. Once again, great build! Cheers Paul

Love it!! Great interest in the early Chinese/Pacific campaigns. Have a 1/72 and a 1/48 Peashooter in the stash. Time to start moving on them!! Cheers Paul
