Oh yeah I am totally looking forward to the Americans. I can’t wait to see the paint schemes for the various pieces.
It’s a bummer he doesn’t have any Hellcats to go with the Corsairs. That would look awesome! I always keep my P-38s in the European theater and Hellcats in the Pacific. I really want to paint my stuff now…
I want to see some P-40 Warhawks with the Flying Tigers paint.

*See first page - the single Chinese Fighter (has the shark face accurately there, but not a good pic of it). The Flying Tigers fought with the Chinese, and one unit accurately represents that… All A&A variants have only one fighter starting in China. Maybe I’ll do one with US markings for my 1942 and original board for the sake of completion, but no more than a single unit.
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing 1/2 P-38s and 1/2 Hellcats… Not sure yet. Don’t want them to look too similar to UK and ANZAC units. We’ll see - that hurdle is a few weeks off.
Tha jap carriers re fantastic. :lol:
seriously wow. those rock!

Paint the Hellcats Navy Blue like the Corsairs. Should distinguish them from the Brits.
Good idea for the Hellcats… Now I just need to buy an original copy of the game (I only have the board :|).
On another note:
Three uniforms for the US infantry - Western European (olive drab), Mediterranean Desert, and Pacific Marine.
What specific Marine uniform do you guys think? Khaki? ‘Tattered’ green?

Very nice work I’m painting my pieces as well but they look not as nice as yours. :-( Are you doing the US pieces soon? I would love to see them. How much time have you put into painting this set so far? Its taking forever to paint mine.

Oh yeah I forgot about those. I am sure I will like anything you do.
Speechless.
There are no real words to convey this awesome. You’ve even actually managed to make me find my old pre-Dreadnought models and start painting them.
I can’t wait till you finish. :-D
I can’t wait until he finishes my set :-D
I want to see those U.S pieces.
Come on! Show me your war face!
US Infantry coming later tonight… Finishing up the roundels. Stay tuned.

I would think that the roundels would be the longest part of the paint job.

It’s about a third of the total paint time.
Awesome!
Nice marine camo!
You painted the metal cap on the canteen… You’re INSANE man!
