Operational Overview
From the Spanish Civil War to Modern Airlines the countries of the Mediterranean have provided an abundance of historic aircraft with a vast pallet of color. This is a proposal for a Club Med Campaign. The goal is to build any aircraft (airplanes and helicopters) from any era from any country whose shorelines touch the Mediterranean Sea. This would more than likely be a campaign in the Autumn depending on AeroScale scheduling.

Rules
1. Build an aircraft from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean countries include: Albania‎, Algeria‎, Bosnia and Herzegovina‎, Croatia‎, Cyprus‎, Egypt‎, France‎, Gibraltar, Greece‎, Israel‎, Italy‎, Lebanon‎, Libya‎, Malta‎, Monaco‎, Montenegro‎, Morocco‎, Slovenia‎, Spain‎, Syria‎, Tunisia‎, Turkey and predecessor countries.
2. Kits for the campaign shouldn't be started prior to the start of the campaign and should be completed by the end of the campaign.
3. Multiple postings with pictures are encouraged. Post at least one starting and one in-progress photo on the campaign forum.
4. At least two clear photo's of the finished model on a plan background must appear in the campaign gallery to receive the campaign ribbon.
5. Aircraft built OOB are encouraged but aftermarket parts and decals may be used.
6. All scales are welcome.
7. Be creative, think outside the box and have fun.

Contest Element
Only one ribbon will be awarded per campaigner. Complete as many kits as desired within the time frame.

Jessie, the answer is yes, these countries bordering the Adriatic Sea are included because it is an Arm of the Mediterranean Sea. The countries include the following and predecessors like Yugoslavia. A contemporary list includes: Albania‎, Algeria‎, Bosnia and Herzegovina‎, Croatia‎, Cyprus‎, Egypt‎, France‎, Gibraltar, Greece‎, Israel‎, Italy‎, Lebanon‎, Libya‎, Malta‎, Monaco‎, Montenegro‎, Morocco‎, Slovenia‎, Spain‎, Syria‎, Tunisia‎, and Turkey. These countries should provide campaigners with a variety of aircraft with an assortment of colorful markings. Original posting updated.

Absolutely, some of these countries aircraft and paint schemes are rarely, modeled. I have an Encore PZL P-24F/G that I will do in the 1940-41 Royal Hellenic Air Force markings.

The early history of the Tunisian Space Force might be fun.

Yes, that would be fun. But the campaigns will focus on aircraft. Remember campaigners, Always look on the bright side of life.

Any chance we could slip Portugal into the list (I know it's outside the Mediterranean Sea technically)? I have an Eastern Express Blackburn Shark with Portugal markings that came with a lot of other 1/72 kits on ebay that I need to find an excuse to build.

Van,
Portugal is not part of the campaign, however I did a little research to see if the British stationed the Blackburn Shark in Gibraltar but it looks like they may have only served in the Pacific. If you wanted to build this beauty for a coastal patrol build then that may be the one to save it for. A post war Italian Spitfire or Turkish F100 would be an easy build to do for Club Med. You probably have some other aircraft lurking in you pile for this campaign.

Van,
The Blackburn would fit in with the Anything Goes or VP International Campaigns.

I want in depending on timing, Fiat CR32 or Glad would be nice, or I have a Nieuport 11 in the stash I could do in Italien markings

the EE Shark is a flash monster so there is no way it will be finished by the end of the month with the other builds I am doing. I'll keep it in the stash for another time, perhaps the anything goes campaign but I'm not ready to start on that one yet.

Was I included in those 9? I have an I-15 "Chato" from ICM with rainbow Spanish Republican Air Force (1/72 of course) that I could enter into this GB... so I am in.

Well, fellow Club Med Campaigners, we have 10 members interested in this proposed campaign. I'll contact the powers that be and make this official.
Thank you all.

Our campaign mods have been off for medical reasons recently. They'll take care of this in plenty of time before the campaign starts
