Magnus, I started a 1/48 Tomcat for the Tomcat Campaign and only got as far as the cockpit finished would i be allowed to finish this for the campaign? If not I have a Tornado and a Lancer that I can always do

Cheers

Of course you can finish that one for this campaign! I wouldn't mind see the Lancer and the Tornado finished either

If you change your mind I am sure that there will be room for you as well in this campaign!

OK I'm in, now either a F-14 or a Tornado but if time and my other builds allow then a Tu-22 Backfire may be on the cards of course in 1/144.

It will give me a reason to build a Tornado, so I'm in.

I'm in. I won an Italeri 1:48 Tornado at the club meeting raffle this week, so I've even got something to build!

Excellent! Looks like we will get this campaign rolling after all! It is still seven months until the start date so until then we ought to be able to find that last missing modeller...

Hi there. I just signed up. I've been planning to build R/M's 1/48 F-14D anyway so this is good incentive to "git 'er done".

Oh, go on then. I have a MiG-23MS on the workbench at the moment. If I can overcome the problems with the resin and the PE and keep it [i]on[i/] the workbench (the bin is perilously close) I may even have it close to finished by the time the campaign starts...

We're approved! Chuck just moved us over to the Debarkation Zone.

Time to start collecting kits, decals, aftermarket and references. Only a week until Chrismas, I wonder if it is too late to make additions and amendments to Santa's lists...

We'll take off on July 1st!

What on earth is that? Where are all the reasons for the nickname "Aardvark" on that one?

Try '70's MPC, most likely an Airfix mold with after market "nose job"

Well,

I am (conditionally), as I have no idea if I will be able to finish in time. I will be entering the final year of my study, staring my MPhil thesis, and have a lot to do and probably arrange on the side...

Combine that with a horrendous case of MADD, and there you go...

I do have a Tomcat in the stash... not sure what plane the final version will be yet...

I hope you'll find the time to join Harm, I am sure that your Tomcat will be among friends here!

As you all might have noted (you should have received a PM and I can see that almost all of you who have registered for the campaign have read it) Chuck Shanley has helped me to move the starting date to September 1st. This way we will avoid this year's summer congestion of campaigns. Thanks for helping Chuck and make good use of the summer months to stock up on Swing-Wing kits, parts and references!
