G'day everyone.
I have an idea that has poped up in my head and would like to share it with you, i have alrady asked the campaign manager and still waiting, but what do you think? Obviously the name is "Phabulous Phantom" at the moment, in honour on one of the best and in my opinoin best looking planes ever,a campaign for annyone that has a phantom model to make. to build as a group and help each other at as we go. i would start it in feb 2008 to around may 2008 at the monet.

Reckon its a good idea?

If so, If not tell me what you think. anny ideas for it feel free to shout it out.

Cheers

I would happy join in with this - the Phantom is one of my favourite planes of all time

Andy

Hi James,
Sounds like a good idea to me, so count me in.
With the numerous nations that bought the Phantom the different markings and camo schemes should make this a pretty varied campaign.
Andy

Ok thanks guys, Thats good stuff and i will post in the campaign tomorow. do you know anyone who could make a banner and the ribbon? I want the rbbon done before i post the campaign actually.

Thanks

Hi all!

As my call-name is Phantom2, you just know that the Phantom is one of my all-time favourites!
I have plenty of kits to choose from, so the difficulty is what version and markings it will be.


So I´m DEFINETLEY in on this splendid idea!

Cheers!

Stefan E

Thanks mate.
Any variant will be allowed to be made, even the QF-4's and RF-4's. but the markings and camoflage scemes must be of that country not made up.
could annyone make this into a ribbon?


I think it would be a good ribbon for annyone who completes.

I could be in for a go, i have a 1/72 in Israeli scheme somewhere in my stash, but I personally think it would need to run for longer than three months. just my opinion though. I'll have a bash at doing the ribbon for you too.

Time allowing I could get in on this one too.

You can definitely count me in on this campaign, I’m to a big Phantom phan. If this goes through I’ll build Tamiya’s 1/32 F-4J, have a boat load of resin and PE for it. By the way I just finished building a set of 1/10 F-4B Ejection seats.

Hi James,

An F-4 campaign could be the much needed incentive to get me back on the campain wagon, having been on hiatus for almost a year... I've always admired this particular aircraft!



Since Sweden did not acquire any Phantoms, I would go for an Israeli F-4E from 1973. The campaign should - in my opinion - last at least six months.

Cheers!

Ok thanks everyone, i will post the campaign today once allen can get the ribbon together. Ill give the campaign about five months around january 1st to may 27th (phantoms maiden flight) to celebrate the day of 50 years of the phantom. or do you reckon thats to much time to wait?
Tell me what you think

That's plenty of time I think, especially with all the campaigns going on right now.

Ok cool thanks.
In the by by baby campaign home page the top left has the stuff about the ribbon. how do i do that? i went into submit a campaign to see how i can set it out but i dont know where to put the ribbon bit. annyone know?

joe those 1/10 seats look absolutely fabulous!

Hello James,

Great idea about Phantom Campaign. You can only upload a ribbon after your campaign has been approved by the Staff who enable that option. As to the image itself if you can shrink the image down (without degrading its quality to much) you should be able to make it work.

Sincerely,
Brian

Here you go James, one shrunk and "Giffed" ribbbon.

Andy

Oh yeah!!! This one has my name all over it. I'm going to have the same problem as Phantom2 though... which kit?!?

Cheers

Hi James!

If you mean me, I didn't received a PM or e-mail yet. Anyway, If you want to submit this Group Build, you can use the appropriate "CAMPAIGNS" link above.

It seems a few people are interested!

Jean-Luc

Ok guys this is great!
Im posting it after this reply and i hope it get's in.
Here i go

Well, I am in for this one as well. I will probably go for a Vietnam Phantom - again I am a sucker for that US Vietnam camouflage

Good initiative! I can help with the ribbon and some banners. I have some experience.

Heres a quick ribbon Idea I just knocked up during my break at work. I should hopefully have a banner and a few variations on this theme done by tomorrow or the day after

I'm on!

F-4J UK or one of my Fujimi Spey Phantoms! I've got several, none of them built!

Regards

Magnus

Hey guys.
I dont want to sound impatient but what amount of time dose it usually take for a campaign to get in or not? and if it dosent get in do they notify me?

The best person to speak to would be Jean-Luc (TedMamere) as he is the campaigns co-ordinator there are currently campaigns running until early next year so we would probably find out (i would think) around about Christmas time Also I believe campaigns only go ahead if there is enough interest, e.g. if more than a certain amount of people are interested.

Hope this helps

P.S. I'm still working on the banners work got a little busy and I never got round to finishing them. Watch this space????

Ok thanks mate.
Thats helped me understand.

Dont worry about the banners you have plenty of time, take your time.
Thanks for doing that.

Cheers

James

Count me in. I like the ribbon Tomcat31 came up with.

I would like to do a RF4C phantom used by the USAF PolkaDot squadron stationed in Korea, 1/32 or 1/48 scale for a friend. Any suggestions on kits or AM to make it correct and accurate?
