Thanks again for all the kind comments.
I wish I had new pieces to paint but HBG isn’t shipping Amerika or the US expansion sets for another 4-6 weeks.
Our planned annual gaming session is April 2 - 4 so it looks like I will not be able to get them all painted in time.  Its been almost a year since I pre-ordered Amerika set but I really do love HBG’s quality. I just wish they were quicker at distributing them.
My planned pieces to paint are the following
Japan
- 
Project Z plane (six engines Heavy Bomber) 
- 
Ha To (Self Propelled Artillery) 
- 
O-I (Heavy Tanks) 
-
