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.

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.

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!!

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!!

Does this have to be a modern GB? There are some great pre-20th centurary subjects out there ...e.g.

There are also some interesting civilian subjects - though you may want to draw the line at fantasy or WiF

I would incluide any era,any Japanese subject.

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.

I would agree with you Erwin, but we must define the scope of the proposal before the vote in November so that members know what they are voting for,

Hellooooooo.... :bye:

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 :)

Hi Steve,

I did mention it in an earlier posting.

That falls under the category of "civil".

Japanese designed car and bikes are valid.
