Hi! 
Signed up for this too!
As It´s well below the horizon, I have not yet decided what to build.
It will be some type of aircraft....
Cheers!

Maybe you can finish that 110 you started about 20 threads back, or even the 190 about you started about 30 threads back.

Hi Carl
So you're giving me permission to wait until next summer before I get back to building them? I'm sure I could do with the extra time!
But, no - I actually really like your campaign guidelines: "Unusual and colorful aircraft are encouraged...". I'm planning on raiding my infamous stash for something a bit more exotic than an Fw 190 or Bf 110 for this build. I've already got a couple of kits in mind...
All the best

More exotic?
I wonder what that could be. Looking forward to something exotic.

If there is something that falls into the "more exotic" arena Merlin is one of the fellows that will ferret it out

Hi Carl
LOL! You'll have to wait until much nearer the time because - as you've noticed
- all my declared builds end up stalled! So, to (hopefully) break this self-imposed jinx - this one will remain firmly under wraps until there's a very real chance of completing it on time. That probably means the day before the finishing date! But seriously - I'll try to join in with the spirit of things better that. All the best

Well I did leave the door open for exotic.
You do know this is an airplane build, I hope?

Will you do it in D R Bader's colors? He is one of my childhood heroes.

If it flew in battle over Europe in WWII, it will be allowed.

I've signed up, but will need sometimre perusing my kits to select the one I want to do for this campaign, though the first thing that coms to mind for this that I know I have is a MS 406. Of course I have a ton of mustangs I could do as well, or a P-47 razorback, FW 190a3, B-26, a P-40K, Yak-1b, Yak-7, Pe-2, Mig-3, etc etc etc.
Yes, I think I am definitely in.

If time permits for me to do a third subject, on this Campaign, I'd like to add an RNFAA Hellcat, or the Mk II Swordfish, as I have not decided as to which would be a third choice.
First:- Is a Coastal Command "Colonial Sqn" Beaufighter
Second:- A 2nd TAF subject.
Hopefully one of the two above will be included.

Well I have decided on another of my favorites from when I was a kid for this one. I have an old Monogram B17G. Its not exotic, but perhaps ambitious. At least there is still time to see if I come to my senses
