Group Build Description: A campaign remembering the 60th anniversary of the Vietnam War
Event Details: (Remember to click “Going” if you want to join the build!)
2 August, 1964 was the date of the (verifiable) Gulf of Tonkin Incident which triggered direct air and ground involvement by the United States in the ongoing conflict in Vietnam. 11 years later America’s longest war (up to that time) finally ended. This campaign is about modeling that war. Subjects of all types from all belligerents will be accepted, including from before US involvement. The campaign will run from 2 August, 2024, through 2 April, 2025.

I’m working on a 48 Tamiya phantom now. I’m thinking it’s going to take me 9 months to get all the stencils on it. I might do another one and I’m wondering whether to ask for more time for the build right up front, OR, is it okay if the kit is built and painted and it still takes me 9 months to put the stencils on it???
Thanks. It’s a bit of a problem. I have a number of 1/48 jets already in the stash. I feel like I should build them before I get another one of these. But this is such a nice kit…
Mooching around the internet last night, I saw that Dora Wings have recently issued their Peacemaker in Air America colours. Might be an interesting one to showcase the more clandestine side of the war. Anyone have experience with these kits before I part with cash?
once i clear the bench i will figure out what i want build.
i was planning on building a “Father & Son” diorama, the idea was to showcase a piece military hardware that could have been used by two different generations. i then thought about it as a campaign but i still need to work out the details.
