The China-Burma-India Theater is an often forgotten area of WWII that was nevertheless hotly contested. It could be argued that WWII began there with the Japanese invasion of China and eventually armies, and air forces, of Britain, India, the U.S., China, and Japan fought in an often brutal campaign over the next nine years.

Would anyone be interested in an AeroScale campaign commemorating the CBI Theater? Lots of interesting possibilities! It would probably start early next year.

Michael,
The CBI is my favorite theater, count me in. The early 2017 start works out for me.
Take care,

I'd be interested certainly.
I have a couple of kits that would be perfect.

1st AC is my pick as well, I have the 1/32 HobbyCraft P-51A and will soon have the B-25H to go with it.

Five so far so we're off to a good start!

Thought I'd give this one a little bump to see if I could drum up any more interest.

Well Gentlemen,

I just found the old, but wonderful Monogram P-35 in 1/72 in my stash. Maybe this one can be changed into a Dutch Hawk 75 on Java? But how to get rid of those raised panel lines? Any ideas are welcome.
