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.
No new build entries will be allowed after July 27th, 2023.
Existing builds will be allowed to continue on past this date if the original posting person has a desire to do so.
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...

Now posted in headlines ! -
Thank you again Tom @tcinla for the advice.
-
Glad I was able to give you the solution, @kahu. -
It's pretty much like any other Eduard P-51D just with cameras. But I hope I help with your build. Looking forward to it.
-
Tom you were right. Had to remove that locator that is atop the main gear well. As in all of it and not partially like I had. Now things look and fit a lot better.
-
This is a cool one, David (@kahu). Your build will be a good road map for when I finally get around to building my F-6. Looking forward to the rest of the build. -
@kahu - Your step issue comes from somewhere else. I always glue the wing and wheel well and never have a step issue.
-
Looking forward to your remedial actions, my friend @kahu! -
Well I just realized I did a goof. Went a bit mad with the gluing of the upper wing parts so they are stuck to top of wheel wells and when I slid the wing and fuselage together found I had a major step issue. mutter

John @johnb Spiros @fiveten Thanks. Tom @tcinla Thanks for confirming what I had already suspected. Didn't expect the silver paint. I had just figured five years after World War II and many being pulled out […]

@kahu - I was looking at photos of 45th TRS RF-51Ds in Korea for another project and they were all painted silver - this was for anti-corrosion on aging airframes. My suggestion, if you are using Vallejo […]

The cockpit looks awesome already, my friend @kahu!
-
A very nice interior already, David @kahu -
Here is the cockpit with PE. Still need to glue the PE radios and do some final painting. Then it will be time to apply a flat coat and then some wash and weathering.
-
Awesome result over a challenging kit, my friend @uscusn! Fantastic, informative build thread too. As always. Congratulations!
-
That's an amazing result, Chuck @uscusn Looks great with the red spinners.
-
The final step, is to assemble the props and install the canopy mounted antenna. The spinner, base and shaft are prepainted on the sprue. The shaft is inserted into the base of the spiner, the blades are […] -
Thanks John, just about done with this project.
-
Very nice work done, Chuck @uscusn Quite a heavy bomb.
-
This session is to install the lower doors that are abundance on the Tu-2. 1st with the gondola/stinger doors to start the process. Next the tail wheel bay doors. These are positioned similar in how a […]
