Hi to all the Tankers from South Africa

Post by japhunter »

I am not in possession of a RC-Beast, My interest is general military, sold my Model collection 8yrs ago-am now back with interest in Japanese WWII Tanks - for a Pacific theater Diorama in 1/72 - Central Piece is A GatoSub numerous Aircraft - an Island with Japanese Armor & Aircraft - SeaPlanes etc. Am still at the research and Model collecting stage - only started 6weeks ago. 20+Aircraft + 4Naval Vessels + 200Fig so far. Now it Armor time. So will be visiting to look for Armor Info and Weathering tips. Herman.

Welcome Herman, why the Pacific Theater of operations? I only ask as I have collected many books written by former servicemen of the I.J.N. and several on the South East Asia Co-Prosperity idea. But my main interest has been the waste of the most modern Naval force of the war, the I.J.N. which 4-SHIPS DO YOU PLAN TO MODEL? and WHICH BASE?
