This is the official thread for the WW2 1946 GB.
The title is pretty self explanatory, but for those who are unsure, this involves any aircraft that would have fought had WWII continued on past 1945. Think Luft 46, but for everyone.

Start Date: 1st May 2014
End Date: 31st April 2015

Rules.
Kit can be started, but must still be open, we want to see all that pretty internal detail.
Must be 46 WWII related. (This leaves things pretty open)
...thats pretty much it.
Have fun guys.

BADGES (Finally, im sorry lol)

As always, please copy to your own image hosting profile, beyond that, do what you like with them. If you have something in mind youd rather use, feel free to use that. And lastly, only use once youve completed a build. If you have more than one build entered i can add stars for each completed build.

I think so, but late marks, with earlier paint schemes. So a P-51H in olive green and neutral grey for example. I imagine if the allies hadnt obtained air superiority, camouflage would have continued on later into the war and varied alot more.
This is an opportunity to have fun with paint and plastic.

Do "Stalkers" count as well? Or in other words: Is Dieselpunk allowed? Dieselpunk is something like Maschinenkrieger stuff. While Steampunk is related to the Victorial age, this is WW2 related.

Heres an example:

Or is that something for the SciFi corner? ;)

Im going to say no to the walker.
While i love dieselpunk (moreso than steampunk) i think it belongs in the sci-fi area more than here.
WW2 1946 is more about what could have been if the war kept going for another couple of years.

Done.
What sort of scheme are you going to do?
