AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If I remember correctly we had a small Japanese GB years ago, well overdue for another one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominikS Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd gladly join the GB about Japanese planes, with Zero of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngstROM Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 ( I would also incluide "modern" subject too to get as much as possible entries. Cool! I have an F-15 'JASDF Aggressor' that needs building, and a GB concentrates the mind wonderfully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I could certainly find something for this too Erwin please. Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I assume this will be 2016 at least? Don't usually do Japanese subjects, so it'll be well outside my comfort zone. I fancy doing something with really badly chipped camouflage. I bagsy the joke about Zero interest. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I could certainly find something for this too Erwin please. Cliff It's not up to me. First enough participants and the go-ahead from Mish. I have the ancient 1/32 nd Revell Zero and Oscar in the pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wow I'm glad someone brought this one up, I had been thinking about it quite a few months ago. Have a Raccoon resin 1/48 Nakajima Kikka that would suit this build....or as usual I'll end up getting something else!! So count me in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh heavens... 2025 again? If so, I'm in. If not, I guess I'm in anyway. I have a JASDF Starfighter bug to scratch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 10 participants so far.Not counting Mish as she didn't exactly say she would join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Would probably join in, but it would depend on time available to build something at the time. Anyway, you're going to need 30 interested members to make the propasal eligible for the vote for 2016. The vote will be held November 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I would like to add my name to this list, and if it's 2016, it gives me time to purchase some more Japanese kits at telford!!

Robert Stuart Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Does this have to be a modern GB? There are some great pre-20th centurary subjects out there ...e.g. Source, manufacturer's web-site: http://www.andreaeurope.com There are also some interesting civilian subjects - though you may want to draw the line at fantasy or WiF Edited March 24, 2015 by Robert Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be "The rising sun" in it's widest form. But I would excluide those Japanese cartoons or videogames subjects.Let's make it "real subjects" Figurines of Japanese soldiers or samuras would be fine.We might even incluide Japanese cars and bikes like Honda,Kawasaki,etc. But that is something to discuss if the GB takes place.

Planes, flying for Japanese airliners Not allowed are models based on Japanese cartoons and videogames.This GB is only for "real" subjects Edited September 15, 2015 by Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hellooooooo.... Ok skipping around the rather large elephant in the room, and seeing as no one else has mentioned it.... Japanese cars and bikes? (could actually swell the ranks of the GB quite considerably if you let the wierdo cousins from the non wingy things ranks in ) If so, Im in Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) .... Japanese cars and bikes? Steve Hi Steve, I did mention it in an earlier posting. That falls under the category of "civil". Japanese designed car and bikes are valid. Edited March 25, 2015 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
