Group Build: Historical Warships of WWII

[Calico Jack]

Alas, I've been working (in fits and starts) on the I Love Kit 1/350 Enterprise (could there BE a more historic WWII ship?). But I'm fairly well along at this point, having installed the hanger deck bulkheads, so I don't think it would qualify here. But looking forward to seeing everyone else's!

Michael join in on the fun. I think this GB is more about coming together and enjoying these builds more so than a GB with guidelines or rules persay. Kind of a break the ice so future GBs everyone will feel more comfortable together. It's all in good spirit of enjoying our hobby.

Well, thanks Jack, perhaps I will! I'll post some pics after the 24th, if I can figure out how.

Wouldn't you know I have 2 historical ships. The Enterprise CV6 and USS Texas BB35. I may just put my BF109 on hold and join this build.

Either one would be a great addition to this GB!

Edbert,
Have you decided what color scheme you will do on your Texas?
I am undecided but leaning on Measure 22.

That is a good question, I have not decided for sure.



I think Measure 12 is the coolest, but the kit from Trumpeter is a newer version after the ship was refitted with more AA and fewer 5-inchers.

So that leaves me choosing between 21, 22, and 33. But 22 is what is had on D-day, so I'm leaning towards it too.
