nspreitler Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This year is the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, so it seems like a good time to do a Pacific Theater GB. The likely dates are 1 January 2017 to 1 July 2017. The timeframe is the entire war, including anything in the wars between China and Japan in the 30s. You can build that served in the theater from any country. Planes, vehicles, ships, and figures are all included, the more participation the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This GB does look interesting, but I am so old that I don't even buy green bananas anymore, so I will have to wait and see what next winter brings to my table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hell yeah I'd participate man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am in with it! Good chance to build some Corsair's, Wildcat's, Hellcat's and TBM's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LDSModeller Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Early 2017 suits me for this group build, I have a number of types of aircraft I could enter with. Thanks/regards Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yep early to mid-2017 works great here. Too early to choose a subject but perhaps a Sherman or maybe I will finally get to my Tamiya USS Missouri or Trumpeter Yorktown? Lots of time to decide. Should be a good one!

WymanV Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I still have a few PACAIR subjects in the stash. And if all else fails, a few boats as well. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Looking good so far and lots of options for this one. The Pacific has always interested me since my grandfather served with the 11th Airborne. I grew up reading about things like the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Pappy Gunn's commerce destroyers, and the Cactus Air Force. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm in with a wildcat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Only 16 votes so far, but there is still a lot of time. It would be a good time to build a Corsair, Hellcat, or Avenger. Lots of great ships like the Arizona, Yamato, or Yorktown, plus armor like the LVT-4 or Sherman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Maybe a P-40 from the 44th Fighter Squadron in Hawaii, December 1941, or a P-39. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
