Tom's build will be recorded below.

I may be doing a few. A Corsair and a Hurricane spring to mind.

I most probably will start with my own dogfight double The Corsair and Zero

Make sure your Corsair isn't a member of the British Pacific Fleet Thomas

You're probably right Thomas. I'm sure someone'll clear it up for us!

The attacks on Sumatra were by the East Indies Fleet, most of which was transferred to the Pacific in 1945 to form the BPF.

so can I build a corsair of the east indies fleet?

I've got a few schemes if you want some Thomas.

After a few days looking I've found where I put my Corsair and Zero and will be building the Corsair as one from the East Indies Fleet.

I also found and started a SEAC Hurricane but as I have only the decals for the BBMF SEAC Hurricane I do not know if this is allowed in the group build?

If you're referring to the PZ865 scheme, that was worn by KX865, a IId of 5 Sqn according to the list in Francis Mason's bible on the type.

Thanks Ian

Here's my builds so far

Hurricane Mk11

Corsair

Zero

Someone's a Bussy Bee

Have you got some 40mm cannons for the Hurricane Thomas?

I was gonna say, if not I certainly have

You will need to remove the cannons and the wing blisters and add a single machine gun port to each wing

Is the Airfix Hurricane IIc the same kit as the Heller IIc? Because if so, I've got another build to contribute!!!!!
