Well guys another idea has hit me for another campaign in the future .

Checkers is the theme for this one . ( Have lots in my collection ) You can build any aircraft from WW1 all the way up to modern stuff . You can build the actual markings or make up your own if you where the ( person sitting in the cockpit ) .

Time for this one to start will be late fall some where around November of this year depending on whether I'm still here in Canada . If some one would like to be the wing man for this let me know .

So what do you guy's say , up for the challenge ?

I'm in! Wing man if you like..

I even know the one i'd do - a Czech MiG-15!

I'm in !

Well that makes four of us ! I know which kit I will be doing for this one . Eduards kit of the Bristol ( crocodile ) Now if I can just find small enough chess pieces can play a game or to on it !

i just notice the start time on this is about the same time of the Camel vrs Fokker campaign
So I will move the date up to the winter months ( December )

I have the perfect kit on its way....whether I can wait that long to bui............ well count me in Terri........what the H I'm sure I can find something to build when the time comes close

Checkerboards - fine idea for another Fw 190 !!

Thomas

Hi guys ! This is great having you guy's wanting to be involoved in this one . We have six so far only need four more to go and we will have a campaign going !

When I saw checkerboard, my first thought was the Crocodile in my closet. As I went through the posts, I saw Terri had that one. Plan B was a FW 190, but Thomas got that one. Plan C is... ummm, uhhhh, I'll have to get back to you later...

I'm in as well, if I may....

I'll give it a go...count me in.


Cheers,
Mike

I've got this one for the checkers....aim to do the WZ*G, IF I'm allowed to play.



And a set for 353rd FG, "Dallas Doll", "Double Trouble" and "Will It Run?"....choices, choices!

I have to join in as well. P 51 "Twilight tear" is a must for me, and what better place to build it than here!

LongKnife, Check!

PS , Jan you can always come on over and play

by the campain starts the pending ......(censored)....... releases of the DVII, DVa Pfaltz and such will be out so that opens a huuuuuuuuuuuuge area to play in ...didnt want to say WINGNUTS in front of Terri........oops....it slipped out!

K

checkerboard?!

Hmmmm, I've done such stuff for other types of modeling, but for a quarter scale aircraft I have to say that I'm a little intimidated.

... of course that Eduard Fw190 A-6 in the closet would be a perfect candidate......

And yet more bruising on the arm , no worries there Keith . I have come to terms that I will not be able to afford said kits . Only to drool over the ones I will see being build in blogs on the site .

I am in.

I have always wanted to do one of the P-40s from Italy with the black and yellow checkered tail. This is a good excuse although I do not have the kit or the decals, but I am sure Hannants or Moduni can help out with that

Back up is a Fw 190 - I have a ton of those in my stash

Great to have you join Jesper !

Okay we have 12 of us now for this campaign , time I get it handed in for approval .
Warren , you can be the wingman on this one .

Who would like to design the ribbon ? I don't have the computer no how to do this little lone the skills .

Campaign has been submitted !

and you can sign up for it here

That was fast or just I did miss something here !

Thanks for adding the link Vance .

I'm all signed up now as well .............................................

Might join in at a later date if time permits and I finish some other projects in the pipeline (1/1 flooring and kitchen remodel). So to help entice those who sign up here are a couple that I did for the guys that flew 'em.

The P-51 was flown by Col. EE Bradley and the P-47 was flown by Col. Paul Latiolais. The Mustang checkerboard decals were from an Aeromaster sheet, the "41" was painted and the "Flying Foxhole" was a homemade decal. The Thunderbolt cowl was painted with the help of Tamiya tape. Just like the real thing the checkerboard is not square and perfect.

Sadly, both men have past on but they did love the memories of their birds.






More photos in the gallery.

I've signed up. Will start looking for a Tam 48 P-51 asap

Tony

Signed up...haven't decided for sure, but leaning towards a 1/72 Academy P-47 - "Eileen"...we shall see.

Cheers,
Mike

You mean like these? I need to finish some of these other campaigns before signing on for this one, but I more than likely will join in. "Q"

That's a pile, Matthew. I haven't made a Tam 51 in more that two years, so I feel the itch a bit.
But next year will be two!

Tony

That's only about half of the P-51's I have. I have tried to down size, but then I find a paint scheme that I really want to/ have to/ need to do and..well, you get the idea. Looking forward to getting some of them knocked out. Only about 5 gazillion others ahead of them currently...doh! Thanks, "Q"

....aaaand here it is! I need to get cracking soon, right?
