Patience and persistence pays off! Now I just gotta pick a kit.

Welcome Mark!
Don't forget to enlist.

I'm in.

May do a target this time....

Did a quick recce:

1/72 Typhoon
1/72 Sunderland
1/24 Typhoon
1/12 Bentley

Which one? Which one?

Right now it's a 1/72 Hawker Hunter FGA.9.

Welcome Pricklehead & Lee
The Hunter is one of my favorite British jets!

We now have a Campaign Ribbon!
Thank you to Jessica for the fine artwork!
Richard.

Richard,

Is this the official campaign thread? If so, I'll sticky it. I'm in, by the way, as I believe I'm getting a certain large recent Airfix release for Chanukah and may have to dive right in!

Michael

Thank you Michael!

You bet Richard!

Michael

I'm in although don't know what I'm going to build at the moment. Got a:
1/72 SBD 5
1/72 Hawkers Hurricane mkII
1/72 Matilda
Sitting in the stack

Welcome to the Campaign Casey!

Bump Time:-

Now that I'm actually here I find myself at a loss as to what to do exactly in terms of which kit to build. I have a couple of 1/24th scale Stuka's but I'm unsure if I'll have the time to get one completed. I have a couple of Spitfires in 1/48 as well as an Me109-F and several 1/72 scale kits. I could finally build the Avro Anson and mark it as one the examples the flew with the RNZAF. I have a 1/48 scale Fury biplane as well that I feel beckoning to me. There are six months more or less I wonder if that would be enough time to do the Stuka kit justice?

Any feed back about my choices?? Just looking to see if I can crystallize my ideas. I have the Montex masks ( sorry Mal!) to build the Stuka with the snake on the side hence my indecision as the masks will take a while to get done properly. And I perversely like doing things that aren't being done by anyone else.

As a clarification is there a limit as to the age of the moulds? The last campaign was limited to moulds that were pre 1980 (if I remember rightly). Are Airfix's new mould kits eligible? Any input would be appreciated.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish one and all a great festive season may Santa bring you what you desire!

Hi Chris.
If I had an Anson in my stash it would be my choice.

Merry Christmas to all!

Hi Richard yes I'm leaning that way, I have a couple of 1/48 scale Classic Airframes to build but I think for this campaign I'll go the true nostalgia route as I built one of these when I was knee high to a grasshopper, thanks for the input. If anyone else has any ideas or suggestions I'm all ears.

I recently received the Airfix Dogfight set with a P-40 and a Zero. I completely forgot about this campaign, and was so eager to get the build started, I'm already about halfway through the Zero. I haven't started the P-40 yet though, could I hold off on that until the end of the year, and just submit the P-40? Or am I already ineligible for building the Zero?

Hi Logan.
Enjoy your Zero build and hold off on the P-40 until the campaign starts!
When you post your completed model photos in the Gallery post them as a dog fight double!

Alright, thank you Richard!

Great Christmas present from young Duster, I am now sorted for this campaign.



seen 1/48th scale kits with less detail and parts than this puppy.

Si

Nice one Simon!
Built one of those to many years ago!

Just enlisted... I have a 1/72 hawker hurricane mk. I in my stash (kit#01010) also have some xtradecal raf ww2 code letters (x72145) to make Stuart Walch's hurricane from the Battle of Britain.

Thanks for signing up Nick!

These new 72 scale airfixes fall together so nicely I think I'll be able to get this ribbon.

Now to try and find out if the puzzling colour callouts in the instructions are correct.
