Sorry Bill as of today your not elisted? I checked the list twice here.


Sorry, Stephen, I don't know what you mean by "elisted." Did you mean "enlisted"?

And I went to that link and it just takes me to the rules.

I was on an original list somewhere. Unless I've missed a deadline, I plan on starting my SE5a tonight or tomorrow.

On the right hand side fof the rules page is the en-listing station. Just click on it and its done. Sorry for the misspelling . Enjoying my vacation to the extreme gets me tired.

Ah, Alles klar jetzt. Thanks, I've already started the build. Shocking amount of knock-out holes in places that are hard to deal with.

Just a refresher here folks. In case you missed it.

The official campaign thread is here.
It specifically lists campaign enlistees with the direct link to their builds.

I just got this from Richard Alexander at WNW.

"Hi Stephen,

I think it's a good thing for modellers to guess (and even make requests for) the Albatros (and other aircraft) schemes. We will consider all suggestions (especially those backed up with photographic references) for possible future decal options. All I can say for now is that the box art aircraft for the D.V is from Jasta 5.

We're constantly checking out the progress of the group builders on Aeroscale. It's great to see so many taking part and making great progress, though those who are incorporating extra photo etch into their builds are possibly making a rod for their own backs.

Can you please pass on how impressed we are with the the quality of the builds and progress so far. Good luck to them all.

Regards
Richard"

It is neat that "The Guy" is watching this. I have taken the "rod" out of my back by ordering another SE5 for the build. Photo's forthcoming as progress is made.
Keep em coming Richard

Hi Stephen.

As you know, I am already in the WNW GB with my Bristol. Would I be able to also enter my Junkers which I completed Oct - Nov 09. I do have a complete build photo history. If yes, how do I go about it?

Many thanks

Des.

We are rapidly approaching the end of January. Any hint as to when those kits that were going to be released in 2009 are going to be released?

I have been waiting for a large scale D.V for eons. I am sure the reward will be worth the wait.
