This build's kicking off soon chaps; what've you all got planned? Anything a bit different?

Any Airfix Kit, Any Scale, of a military aircraft used in China, India or Burma, or South East Asia during the second world war may be built, presuming we're sticking to my original suggestion? or do people want to open it up RE the dates? Could be a bit vague if we don't stick to WW2 perhaps?

Definitely, from memory, I think the whole SEAC campaign kicked off when Japanese forces invaded Malaya & Thailand. I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong on that, but Japanese planes definitely qualify. For the record, if anyone's stuck for ideas, I have a few kits from the VJ Day set which I'll happily send you for a few pounds.

Not CBI/SEAC but SWPA.

Possible future GB?

May have to sign up for this one. Airfix P-40E with markings for God's aircraft commander (Robert Scott) in China.

This could be the excuse I've been looking for to convert a Spitfire IX into Finlay Boyd's MkVIII. Not only that, I have one of the new Airfix 1/72 Spitfire IX's to hand...!

I went ahead and signed up. I'm going to do Tex Hill's camo Flying Tiger P-40E (instead of Robert Scott's). I'll have to assemble the decals from here and there.

...also, could we please get a reminder as to when this will start?

I have signed up too. I am not quite sure what to build. Got my eye on a special ops Lysander though.

I know it falls before the formation of SEAC (Nov 1943), but would a Singapore Buffalo count under the CBI bracket?

Would anyone care to suggest some options? This theatre isn't really my area of expertise. I can think of Hurricane, Thunderbolt, some Japanese aircraft, P-40, Hudson possibly... and there my thoughts end.

Blenheims, Mosquitoes, Beaufighters, Liberators, Wellingtons, Austers, Catalinas, Sunderlands, a couple of Halifaxes.

Spit VIIIs, XIVs, PRXIs. Dakotas, Fulmars, Walruses and Swordfish.

Hellcats, Wildcats, Avengers, Corsairs and Kingfishers served with the East Indies Fleet

Hello?? It's November 9, isn't it?? If not, something is terribly wrong with my watch as well as my computer. Also the sun...

I applied for membership of this GB but note that the usergroup application is still pending. Have I pressed the wrong button somewhere, or is there a button I need to press? I am not too hot with this computer stuff.
