WORLD WAR II: 1946 THEME - JUNE 15, 2018


What if World War Two didn't end and continued into 1946?

We have heard about the Paper Projects, Secret Weapons of World War 2, and Luftwaffe 1946.  There were weapons and equipment already in development and even constructed by the end of the war that missed seeing action.  For this theme we are asking you to build a model of something that could have been used in 1946 if the war continued.  Something the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Germany, and Japan would have used.  There are now so many model kits available now.

Build a model! It can be armor, aircraft, ship, figures, and sci-fi, just prepare a logical tie-in to the theme.
