Hmmmm I'll have to take a look at this one I have had a "Pink Panther" crewed by some lovely frauleins on my to build list for a while.I plan on using a Tamiya Panther G and some Figures I got Herehttp://aurora-model.jp/e-military.html sounds like a good cause to me
"Panzer"

Ah - good.  :thumbsup:

Glad somebody's doing this because it was one of my first ideas until superceded by something else.


Pink paint has been purchased....... ;)

As to why blokes should be interested, think of it this way: save two of your hobbies with one of your other hobbies...... :wacko:

It can also affect men. There's a bloke localy (to me) who has had breast cancer, and is now helping the local cancer ward raise cash to help improve the place.
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

In addition to Martin raining on your parade, PR Pink isn't even pink, it's really just a white with a tiny amount of red added.  Total misnomer.  There's a colour photos of several PR Spitfires in PR Pink which prove my point.

Having said that, I'm toying with the idea of a Spitfire FRXII in PR Pink and I have a part started Xtrakit one somewhere...

Then again, what ever you build, you can tag it 'FAB 1'

Yes, I support the cause!

Having said that you've said that, if you look at the competition gallery, there are two PR pink aircraft already in it, so the colour is clearly pink enough to be admissible..... ;D

I'm glad that Martin pointed out that chaps can suffer from Breast Cancer too. I've a mother who's survived, but lost several friends at painfully young ages to this dreadful disease. I'm sure I can rustle up a model/picture.

For those of you who prefer ships, one could choose an RN vessel and revive Mountbatten Pink.

I have a real-world model, HMS Jersey, that will be in that colour; White Ensign Models makes tins of it.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

With the sights on display at Rocky Horror last night, I'd considered a pink Hunter too, for the same reasons as mentioned, but I have lots of other ideas....... :wacko:
