Fantastic idea, funny I was thinking of starting my two F-104's I have in my stash. Good start date as there are so many campaigns this year.

Count me in Andy, I don't have a single jet in the stash but I enjoyed the F-84G I made for the Aluminium Campaign so I would find something suitable.
Cheers, D

I have a B-47 and a B-36 prop jet would they count? They have jet engines and come from the period you are focusing on.

Sorry Dirk,they have to have a "100" designation
so I'll add a few more
Republic XF-103 Thunderwarrior,
North American YF-107 and XF-108 Rapier prototypes.
The Bell XF-109
The McDonnell F-4 Phantom II (briefly F-110 Spectre)
And for Nick the General Dynamics F-111
Thanks for the interest guys

I got it now. Not a problem because I've been wanting to do some of those also. Can't seem to find anything decent in 1/72 so now I'm looking in 1/144. 1/48 is just to big or depending on your perspective my house is just too small.

Next year, as in 2011
I might could get another one done by then, or find the last one I finished.

Andy, I'd sign up for sure. I love WW2 airplanes....but there just aren't enough modern jet campaigns around. The F-100 "HUN" is one of my all time fav's BTW.

So long as you aren't too punctilious about ownership, this could be a good spur for me to grasp the nettle and build my CF-101B. Count me in for a 2011 campaign.

Hey Andy, have you submitted this for a campaign yet? Looks like there are more than 10 of us.

Is it possible to include the TF-104's into this campaign? I think they look even better than the single seater. Oh and off subject thanks for the photo of the contents of Roden's 1/72 Felistowe.

I know I have a finished F-104 that might need a little clean up. And there's at least one of each of the rest of 'em in the stash..somewhere
