Well how bout' it guy's ?

There is a good selection of models on pusher aircraft from WW 1 , which I'm sure a few of us have some great subjects in the stash , just have to blow the dust off of them that's all !

Teri, lets not forget WW2 had a lot of pushers, too. The XP-55 Ascender comes to mind as a good example. People talk about germany and the many aircraft the war ended too soon for. The french also had a few designs that would fit into this catagory aswell.


Vance, by definition jets would be included; however, I think the focus teri is shooting for would be prop only builds. but if i'm wrong i got acouple pushers from the Naval Aviation category to build as well.

Terri,

Sounds like fun. I like doing the campaigns because it gives me a reason to get the kit out of the stash and onto the workbench and the deadline gives that extra incentive to finish on time.

I have a 1/48 Aeroclub FE2.b to build if the campaign gets enough participants.

Sorry Vance and Steve , no jets or WW2 aircraft . This one is for us stringbaggers which is way I posted the idea here first . Although a very good idea to inclued them . But I want to keep this one on the lines of WW1 aircraft .

Super Mark ! I have the DH-2 in three different scales and Bluemax kit of the vickers gunbus . Was planning on ordering the FE-8 from Lone Star Models or maybe even a farmann . Maybe even another flying boat , like the Macchi M-5
