While were on Japanese subjects. Anybody have the 1/48 Hasegawa Ki-61 kit with the clover leaf markings on the box. I have this kit but no decals. Anybody not using the kit decals? I've always liked thus scheme. Thanks

Yes I do but I still wouldn't buy a Japanese WW2 aircraft. I do really want the Tamiya F-35 though.

Bumping this GB Feeler before I post an official thread.

I'm proposing feeler as : Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build

When:

Start date: October 26, 2023

End date: February 29, 2024 - Yes, there's 29 days in February
next year because 2024 is a Leap Year. :wink:

What:

Any WW2 Japanese subject by Land, Air, or Sea. Dioramas are welcome if desired.

Too soon and too short for me. I have a full plate thru the rest of the year. Don’t think I can pull anything off in the remaining time.

I agree the time is too brief. Got lots of IJA & IJN aircraft.

Ok... would extending it til May 2024 work? Or should we wait til Jan. 1, 2024 and run for 6 months?
