The pressure is on! Sometimes I will have trouble with Humbrol not drying quickly, unfortunately this seems to be one of those times.

Is this campaign just for aircraft from Mediterranean countries airforces or, are aircraft based in Mediterranean countries allowed?

I've got an Airfix RAF Curtis Tomahawk from a WW2 Libya based squadron in my stash that I could use for this campaign if that's allowed.

The intended purpose of this campaign is to model aircraft from Mediterranean countries. Also, there's only a week left until it ends which is not likely sufficient time to build anything.

It'll always be welcome over in the Hangar Queen campaign
That's where my Spitfire is going to end up, due to Life and other reasons.

Excuse the darkness of the pics, the seafire is still in gloss, but camo'd and decaled. As you can see from the light reflecting off the wing roundels, I had nothing but trouble with them laying down without wrinkling/breaking.

Fellow campaigners, there are seven completed builds in the campaign gallery. Post them when your finished so you may receive the ribbon. I'm not complete with my RHAF Fairy Battle yet either.

Could anyone besides me use a 15 day extension to complete their Club Med projects? Currently applying decals and doing final assembly.

Well after frantic painting masking and more painting I've got the decals on. Painting was a nightmare I thinned the paint a little to much and it was drying before I got it on the model so in places it looked like I was spraying sand and not paint! Careful use of very fine grit sandpaper managed to smooth things out for the most part. I then moved onto the stencils and there are a few although the national markings are minimalist to say the least! As to an extension well that'd help but I'm working like forty men without fathers to get it done! So here a few pics to show where I'm at.

As the Club Med Campaign organizer I'm going to grant with approval, an April 15th deadline for this campaign. We have nine complete builds and there are still some out there that are near completion.
