trickyrich Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Ok time I think for another Epic GB and this Japanese! We/I have tried a couple of time to get a Japanese themed GB up but have never quite got there unless it was tired into some other theme. Well this time it will be different. To make it nice and simple it'll be broken into 3 basic themes: 1, Military - any Military equipment used by the military or military equipment sold by Japan and used elsewhere (war prizes allowed). 2, Civilian - Anything used in Japan or made there and used elsewhere, this should excite the car boys & girls! 3, Manga/Anima/SciFi - open to SciFi, Gundam, Amine, just go crazy with all the wonderful and weird stuff from the Japanese fictional universe that we love. Yes the GB is very open, and some my think too open, but from past attempts it needs to be to attract the attention and interest. Hopefully though it'll attract the interest of Non-aircraft builders who are always looking for the GB they can build in. I am hoping that the #3 theme will attract the most attention as the builders of these subjects rarely ever get a GB to play in. So ok folks for 2022 lets turn Japanese! ....and the list: 1, trickyrich - HOST 2, zebra 3, Corsairfoxfouruncle 4, Stefan Buysse 5, Jabba 6, alt-92 7, helios16v - Co-Host 8, CliffB 9, Tim R-T-C 10, Foxbat 11, bianfuxia 12, reini 13, Cuppa_joe 14, Redstaff 15, JeroenS 16, klr 17, fatfingers 18, Arniec 19, Jockney 20, Andwil 21, Mig Eater 22, zegeye 23, Marlin 24, Beazer 25, Wez 26, Hockeyboy76 27, TonyOD 28, ArnoldAmbrose 29, Evil_Toast_RSA 30, Romeo Alpha Yankee 31, badger 32, Marklo 33, TimJ 34, almac 35, Toryu 36, Spad 37, 128fiddler 38, AaronKSJ 39, wimbledon99 40, John Masters 41, TonyW 42, stevehnz 43, Robert 44, Ravnos 45, Grandboof 46, Avereda 47, Stew Dapple 48, Bertie Psmith 49, Col. 50, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I keep telling myself to stop signing up for these things.....but who am I kidding. I have a few possibilities....actually more non-military than military. Even some Cat3 options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yes please Rich. I've plenty of 1/100 kits of Japanese aircraft, but will probably take the opportunity to build a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer WRC. At that time, Mitsubishi's WRC programme was actually sub-contracted to a UK company (Andrew Cowan Motorsport Ltd), who developed and ran the cars, but hopefully Mitsubishi's funding and parts will still qualify it for the GB . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Why not. Put me down for this one, I've got a plentiful supply of WW2 types and I'm sure something will still be left over come 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Me please - got representatives of most of the IJNAF in the stash, plus a couple of odd ones - the Type 87 SPAAG (think Japanese Gepard) and a Nakajima Ki-84 egg plane with a cat pilot that should squeeze into the third category Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So plenty of time to plan (and forget) for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
