About this Group
The Korean War started exactly 70 years ago today. This group build will follow the exact dates of the War and will end a little over 3 years from now on July 27th, 2023.
This group build is dedicated to all of the men and women who served their Country during the so called "Police Action", that is still technically a war. Many do not know this, but all that has stopped the fighting on the front lines along the DMZ in Korea, is a cease fire order that has remained in effect since 1953. The DMZ has been a hot spot on several occasions every since then.
The goal of this group build is to honor all of those who served in Korea before, during, and after the cease fire took effect. They will not be forgotten any more.
This group build will follow the same dates as the conflict has. It will start on June 25th, 2020, and will end on July 27th, 2023. This group build will be going on for a little over three years. I will ask for help with moderating it from time to time.
Any type aircraft, vessel, tank, wheeled vehicle or tractor, artillery piece, submarine, helicopter, or any weapon of any kind that was used by either the United Nations or the Communist sides during the conflict will be allowed. As long as it was used during the War you can build a model of it.
There is not a new build requirement. If you have a model that is started, but not yet completed, you can post it. This is an effort to help clean out our "shelf of doom" that we all seem to have at some point or another.
You can give your old models a "Face Lift" and give them a new paint job if you so desire. You can resurrect your old models if you so desire. Just show how it was used during the War and you are good to go.
Any scale is OK. There is no requirement for any certain scale.
You can scratch build a model if you so desire.
All are invited to join us. No invitation is required.
Lets keep it fun...

Last day of May and getting close to that moment in July as combat operations cease In the Korean peninsula. Next is to finish up the final details on the turret. The .50 cal mount post is first attached to […]

Thanks John and Spiros, Dragon/DML does provide some really nice details to enhance the turret, really not needing any PE bits to add to the details as the parts are close to scale.

Here's the model painted. Vallejo metalizer colors used.

@tcinla, thank you, Tom. A not so complex but enjoyable kit. @fiveten, thanks, Spiros. On to the photoshoot for the headlines. @tankgrrl, thanks a lot, Anna-Elizabeth. Glad you like it.

Excellent work, my friend! @johnb you've demonstrated what skill and a few extras can do to enhance a nice, basic kit and create an impressive replica.
-
Came out beautifully, my friend @johnb! Looks SUPERB!
-
Very, very nice, @johnb!

Antenna wires are on, a coat of matt clear applied and the canopy masks removed. Still need to do a quick check for imperfections but in general I call this La-11, done.

Not an easy but very interesting kit, Chuck @uscusn Looking forward to see you tackle those challenges
-
Great job on what seems to be a challenging build, my friend @uscusn!
-
So finally getting into this kit, Xutong starts with making any modifications to some of the parts that pertains to the version that is on the box cover. Though it shows cutting a section of the glass nose to fit […]
-
@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Looking forward to that finish line as well. I'm thinking about applying a layer of matt coat, to me the current satin coat is still too shiny.
-
Looking forward to the finish line, my friend @johnb! Looks fantastic!
-
Unfortuantely not a finish today. Worked on the antenna wires but this took more time than expected. The final one is being hold in position currently.
-
@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Trying to get the last work done today. @ferrw, thanks a lot, Bill.

You did a really job on this. Great job!
