LSP_Kevin Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Welcome to the Aircraft of Asia Group Build! This runs from 1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025. The theme covers any aircraft from any period from a country in Asia. I define Asian countries as per the Wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia#States_of_Asia). For Russia, if you can show me the aircraft was based East of the Ural Mountains then it's in. Visiting aircraft, for example USAF F-4s in Vietnam do not count, but a South Vietnamese Skyraider would. Our standard rules for Group Build eligibility apply as usual, which includes that the subject model must be a 1/35 or larger helicopter or aircraft kit, and that it be no more than 25% complete at the time of entry. Have fun! Kev BradG and dutik 2
Erwin Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 (edited) My Yak 18 is nearly done after only five days. I'm a bit unsure what to do at the next convention. Buy more simple kits and build many in the GB. Or,go for the 1/24 th Trumpeter Zero or Rufe ? That should keep me going longer on one kit .But even that is not certain Edited December 5, 2024 by Erwin
wingman777 Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 Hey fellas, I have several choices for this build. Do I need to announce it beforehand to get approval, or do we just go with it as long as it meets the requirements?

dutik Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 The 25-%-question: Would this Dewoitine-wannabee still qualify for the GB regarding the 25-%-rule? Regards - dutik Erwin 1
Landrotten Highlander Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Confirmation request. Does the Curtis Haw 91-A2 'Flying Tigers' qualify for this group build? Been driving 1300+ miles and having a bit of brain fog.
dutik Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Visiting aircraft, for example USAF F-4s in Vietnam do not count, but a South Vietnamese Skyraider would. Maybe this clarifies the issue a bit? Regards - dutik
Dave Williams Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 My impression is that the aircraft has to be in the markings of the Asian country. If we’re talking the Flying Tigers Hawk 81s, they were certainly flying with Chinese markings, as well as being owned by the Chinese, so they would count in my book. Alain Gadbois and Erwin 2

Thanks for the replies anyway, will wait for one of the mods to give the say-so

The same would go for captured WW-2 allied planes in Japanese markings. Edited December 11, 2024 by Erwin
Erwin Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 (edited) Does anyone know which WW-2 Russian (with Russian markings ) kit would be OK ? Edited December 11, 2024 by Erwin
