LSP_Kevin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Welcome to the In the Navy Group Build! This runs from March 1st to August 31st 2021. The scope is Naval aviation, could be from ship or land based squadrons. Our standard Group Build rules apply: the kit must be an aircraft or helicopter, 1/35 scale or larger, and not more than 25% complete at the time of entering. Have fun, and if you have any questions, ask away! Kev Landrotten Highlander, Starfighter and Fanes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Hi! I´m pondering on this; Is this kit OK for the "Navy" GB? Cheers! Stefan Edited March 3, 2021 by Phantom2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan If the aircraft you are building belonged to the Bordfliegergruppe, then yes. The Germans never really had an independent Naval Air Arm, the closest they got was the Bordfliegergruppe which supplied aircraft to the navy and although technically still under Luftwaffe control, we'll call it close enough. However not all Arado 196's belonged to this group so check references first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your are confusing this with the Kawanishi N1K-J Shiden, aka George, that was a navy fighter indeed? I am asking about the Kyūshū J7W Shinden, that made its maiden flight only on 3rd August 1945. Just two prototypes were built before VJ. This is the Zoukei-Mura kit. Does it apply too?
