Hi all!
Being from Sweden, I love Deltas, especially those from SAAB!
J-35 Draken, J-37 Viggen and JAS 39 Gripen!
Oh, I bring a classy J-35 Draken to the party!
Cheers!

Matty, Ryan and Stefan, glad you guys could make it.
Stefan, I'm gonna bring a J-35 to the party as well. This will be my first Saab so hopefully you can give me some tips along the way.

Theres a year before the campaign starts so don't anyone wander off.

Hi folks,
I've just enlisted... I've a bit of time to decide what to build but the Viggen is very tempting!

Merlin, welcome to the party, and thanks for helping out. With an automatic 5 year extension you should be able to make an outstanding entry.

Cheers Hermon
If I'm feeling brave in a year's time, I'll dig one or other of these beauties out of The Stash:
If I'm not, I'll probably go for a Hobby Boss Mirage with an SBS cockpit upgrade.
All the best

Blimey Rowan the two Lippisch's look fantastic. I have just acquired the Hobbyboss 1/72 Rafale B for this campaign, which looks very good. But I discovered while rummaging about my stash a Airfix 1/72 Gloster Javelin. I need to search out some resin for it. Hmmm decisions, decisions and there are months to go yet
All the best.

Wow! Those are some great kits Merlin. I wish I had your stash in my hobby room.
Tim and Justin, the Rafale is one of my favorite non-American jets......just behind the ultra futuristic Draken of course. Something about those 60's era jets is just plain sexy.

Ive got my eyes on an Italeri 1/48 Mirage at the LHS which comes with Aussie markings included. Anybody have any comments on that kit, good bad or indifferent ??

Damian, I have this kit in my stash, but have not build it yet.
It is an OK kit, but looks like a reboxing of the old ESCI kit. It shows its age in some areas like the engine and cockpit, but should build into a decent model. The decals look really good! The fit of the parts I cannot comment on yet.
If you find another 1/48 Mirage you want to build instead (fx. Eduard weekend edition if this is the right version for Australian Mirages) I will of course gladly donate my decals to you after your help with Thunderbolt decals.
Hope this helps

D, I have the Italeri and Eduard kits in my stash. The Eduard is a much better kit, hands down. I also have the old revell kit and it isn't bad either.
We're sitting at 14 for this campaign now. Any more takers? A recent count in my stash shows the following:
F4D Skyray
F-102
F-106
4 Different Mirages
Rafael D
Eurofighter Typhoon
Saab Draken

Maybe it is in a wonka bar.
I still don't see any sign up page so we may just have to make this a covert campaign. Everyone wishing to build a delta wing aircraft meet at my house this Saturday night and we'll get started.

Sorry I couldn't make it but it would have taken a bi too long to get there..

Does the XB-49 fall into the delta wing category? I think it might .. and I have one in the stash I need an excuse to build..

I'm actually not sure if the XB-49 would be considered a true delta wing............ 
...............but it sure would be an awsome entry. If no one else has a problem with it, I say sure, build it.

Warren, go for it. The XB-49 is so close to the delta wing definition that only a true expert could argue against it.

Indeed, it is quite literally a delta wing, nothing more, nothing less
I'm in if you're really starting later next year Hermon. I'll probably be building a 1/48 F-106 or SR-71. Wouldn't mind tackling an XB-49 along with Warren, but I'm not sure I want to take on that ocean of NMF yet.
