Col. Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) A while back we had the Africa GB and a lot of fun with it so how about one celebrating everything about Asia? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/723-africa-gb/ Asia, for the purposes of this GB, I'm defining as everything east of the Ural Mountains (thus including that section of Russia) and north from East Timor. That gives us all the -stans but not Iran or Iraq which I consider better suited to a subsequent Middle East GB. Our current country list is therefore Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, the aforementioned East Timor, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea (North and South), Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, East Russia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. The various different names these nations have been know as throughout history are also applicable. Any subject, be it animal or human, machine or popular media entity, land or sea, air or space, exported from or imported to the region, is eligible.

Stefan Buysse Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hi, Yes, probably something Japanese from me. Could be anything from a Zero to JAL 747. Cheers, Stefan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Yes please, count me in. I don't have anything in the stash (as far as I know!), but that would not stop me. Ray PS, Whoops, yes I have! An Aoshima 1/12 Honda CB400Four 1976 and the Tamiya 1/700 IJN Auxiliary Vessels set ( Sub Chaser No13; Minesweeper No19 and Mine Layer Hirashima) and I have just received from Jamie at Sovereign Hobbies some Sasebo Grey which would do nicely for the latter three items (even if those ships had not been painted at the Sasebo works). I will be good to go, as some say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Welcome gang That's twelve of us already and some cool subjects being discussed. There's certainly a wide variety of options throughout the history of the region between the things and people that happened there, the things and people who went there, and the things and people who came from there into the wider world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Col. That's a pretty broad range of possibilities there. I could easily pick a Japanese subject, but I'm wondering... Would a "PN" tail-coded USAF F-4E based at Clark AB in the Phillippines be allowed in? Cheers, Stefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I was in the process of adding more detail to what this GB proposal covers when you asked this valid question 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Add my name, mate. I have a number of Asian subjects that are either in my current plan or for the future - Indonesian Sabre, various Taiwanese F-104s (if they don’t get built in 2023), Indian Tempest and Ajeet, to name a few.

I always enjoy seeing a ship getting built in the GBs and, as Martin says 5 minutes ago, RidgeRunner said: Nice My favourite bike in the 70s the CB400 was something of a revelation at the time and a bike is always welcome by me as they're another uncommon subject 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
