Would anyone be interest in a Corsair Campaign?

WW2, Korean F4U,s.... Maybe it could be open to Corsair II's aswell?

Your thoughts people? I would be happy to run it... I haven't done campaign here on Aeroscale but a couple on ARC, can't be to much different!

Hmmm, on the verge of getting campaigned up. But I have something like 5 Corsair II's and 2 Corsair's in the stash.

I'm WAY beyond being Campaigned up, but that's never stopped me from trying to squeeze another one in.

Count me in !!

Hi Dave
You need ten enlistees, but please be patient as your idea has only been around for a week. There will be more folk enlisting for this one.

I'm in a Janaury and a March campaign so sooner (Nov) or later (May) works a little bit better for me.

Still Corsair I and / or Corsair II, right?

If we are talking next year, I'd have interest. Been thinking of tackling a folded wing corsair for a while now, so it would be a good excuse to get moving on one.

Cheers,
Mike

Cool, I see we have more than ten people....

Who do I need to submit this to, to get to the next stage?

For a time frame how about a year? Starting Jan-Dec 2011?
and should it include Corsair 2's? or just F-4U's?

Hi David

How about including Vought's original biplane O2U Corsair too? (There are kits available)

All the best

Nice idea Rowan! Ok, how'about it being called - Corsair's the Sky Pirates Campaign? Sounds a bit cheesy....its what I can think of at the moment! Any other ideas for a name?

and we will open it up to O2U's, SBU's, F4U's and A-7's and let it run for a year starting Jan 2011?
