Since getting into the hobby last November, I've had a goal to build at least one airplane from each of major countries involved in WWII by the end of this year. So far I've managed fair progress and here is a little picture of where I stand now. Sorry about the picture quality but it's the best I can do for now. Thanks for looking.

Hi VonCuda
Your steady progress certainly puts my building record to shame! It looks like Japanese and French subjects might be next on the list to help you reach your target?
All the best

France?
(Sorry, Jean-Luc! I just had to! :-))
Don't forget Finland! Not a big country, but incredible performance in the skies during WWII! I see that you have already signed up for the Fighters under the midnight sun campaign!!
Great collection, btw!

Well fist of all they look realy spectascular(at lees to me dead lights har har har) specially the Wildcat. I don't know why I had the word "Finland" crossing my mind as I got your point but good old Polarbear was faster than me. Oh well and don't forget the really small part of the war and a pretty unsignificant lil land called Germany..... BZOOOOOOOOOOOORT! And ye God gave the pirate 'is retribution and the fish had barbeque!

Hey thanks everyone.
I have 2 German planes and 1 Finish plane and hopefully one Israeli plane in the works as soon as the campaigns start for them. In between these I'm going to try and build my Bloch MB 155 C1 to represent France. This is the kit I was complaining about having a vacuform canopy and metal landing gear. I'm afraid Japan will have to wait until Christmas to get their representation.
Thanks for checking them out.

Hi Hermon
Good to see you back and building again.
Looks like a nice little airforce your building there.Have you got yourself a display cabinet yet?
Why dont you choose Dec 7th to present your Japanese subject?
