I was wondering the same thing Justin as my Cant Z506B fits the Made In Italy and Sea Planes campaigns, provided I don't start until November.

In my opinion, I don't think a model should be allowed in more than one campaign. I feel the whole thing behind campaigns is to build something specifically for that campaign. The emphasis is to build, not collect ribbons. Do we really want people to pick kits that would fit into the most campaigns at the same time to collect as many ribbons for the least amount of work?

No way. You gotta earn those stickers. The only thing I could think of as perhaps an exception is
the ACUTR build where you must scratchbuild something. Perhaps you could include that thing
into a build for another campaign, or maybe a piece that earned a ribbon into a dio.

One planes into two campaigns is considered bad form.
However two planes in one campaign earns you extra respect from everyone

Got to agree with Gary and jaypee; one model, one campaign. Plus, it allows me to buy more kits that way!

Yes, that's the rule: a different model for each campaign...

Nick, more kits swings my attitude. I have a BV 138 MS earmarked for the Seaplanes and Flying Boats, and a Fiat G.50 for Made in Italy, and the Cant just slotted neatly into both. Just means I will have to decide which way to go with the Cant. I suppose timing is everything and I will wait and see how progress goes once these campaigns start up.

JP, I'm after advice from you guys, any respect I get for multiple kits in one campaign is a HUGE bonus to me.

Roll on start dates, roll on. . . . . .

you can always build more than one of the same type at the same time, and probably use a separate entry for each GB. I find myself building couple of kits of the same type (two P51Ds, three PzIVDs) and trying a different finish/technique on each one. I guess you could then join two different GBs, one for each build.

I built a Mirage III for the Aces High campaign and a Mirage III for the Paparazzi Club reconnaissance campaign. I hope to build a Mirage III for the Aluminium Campaign and a Mirage III for the Aces High 2 Campaign. The only campaign I'm not building a Mirage III is probably the Marseillaise campaign!!!

Yes, that is quite a lot of Mirage's, but with such a sexy aircraft you can never have too many.
