Ive been thinking about wanting to run a campaign for a while now and had a thought for this one after purchasing Hasegawas Mitsubishi F-2A (The Idomlaster- anime decals)

What If Campaign

Basically it would be let your imaginations run wild, any scale, any aircraft type (going to include helicopters here as well), any era for example:

What if the RAF Red Arrows used Harriers?

What if the P-47 was used by the Navy?

What if the F-14 and a Phantom mated?

What if the F-14 was used by the Ukrainian airforce

So really it could be build a kit and just change the markings to an airforce / military branch that hass not used that aircraft in service.
Or it could just be a total kitbash of several different kits. I think this could be a great fun campaign to have a crack at and would give lots of diversity and different ideas. I think the more bizzare paint schemes, decal options etc would be great. I don't think there has ever been a campaign like this before either

I would be looking maybe October 2011 through to March 2012 time BUT at the moment I would like some feedback, guage the interest first etc whatever happens the F-2A will be built at somepoint

Any comments / feedback welcomed

Sounds good to me and it's an excuse to go and get that IdolMaster F-14 that I've had my eye on

Count me in for this one Sam, I picked up some Tamiya 1/48 P-47's cheap a little while back, and I have been scheming and plotting and looking for an excuse to build an evil big black P-94 Twin Thunderbolt Night Fighter (a-la F-82 meets P-61) !!

Bring it on I say !!

Cheers, D

Count me in with something

Well so far thats more interest than I thought I would get

I am on for this campaign - great idea Terri!! Lots of inspiration on the internet. I love the camo on the Columbioan Eurofighter.

A few more pictures - just as inspiration and for discussion purposes.

One has to love that Falcon with Russian missiles or the F-22 in WWII Japanese camouflage.

Wow some great ideas there.
By the way Im Sam
Right 5 interested so far another 5-7 to go Right now to find some more people to badger into signing up

Jesper: Sweet ideas! I'd go for the German or Japanese Eurofighter, but they're all pretty darn cool

Sam: Where did you get your Idolmaster F-2A? Is it part of a line like the Itasha cars?

I manged to get mine at a show I think there are a few still up on hobbylink Japan. I think the f-14 is on there

I have a few ideas, though nothing concrete as of yet. With that said sign me on.

Sounds good to me. How imaginative can we be? far Can I do a plane in the markings of an air force that never existed? Like, an alternate history, the Axis won WW2 type of thing?

I think the more imagantive the better That sounds like a great idea jphillips I would be happy for that to be done

Woooo 7 so far, only a few more people and I will look at getting the propsal done So commence proding and convincing others

DOOH!! Sorry, my mistake.

On the positive side, I will make a few banners to spread the word. More to follow.

Here are some banners for this campaign. Hope you like them

I guess we should use the link to this tread to promote the campaign as there is nowhere to sign up yet.

In that case your forgiven I think linking to this page would be great as soon as we get enough I will submit the campaign

Ive just changed mine (well hopefully) I'll annoy Allen until he changes his

Hi folks,

Great banners! Sign me up! I've absolutely no idea what I'll do yet, but the artwork on the blog so far is great!

Maybe Air Force One being a Cessna Skyvan (credit crunch and all that)?

Or Sopwith Camels with Jolly Rogers livery?


Can't wait, but before the campaign gets going I'm sure I'll have come up with a dozen ideas and discounted a dozen more!

Eoin

Oh I am JUST so into this one! Count me in Sam

Wooooo 1 more and I can submit the campiagn idea Im going to have to find some more people to prod

Oooohhhhh..............a Mig-29 with WWII Italian smoke ring camo. I think I could pull it off. I'd join if it's like late, late, late, late 2011.


Hermon

Woooo well Ive submitted the idea fingers crossed it is approved. Tomcat is/ has designed a ribbon so once I decide on it I will post it up

Sounds good, Sam. Looking forward to let the imagination run wild

@Jesper, Imagination run wild? hmmmm....Scottish Airforce Su-27 in WWII camo or Luftwaffe Typhoon II Eurofighter in WWI Losenge camo? Oh yeah Imagination run wild

Right guys we are up and running so to speak. All those that said they are interested please enlist once you have a moment

sign up here

Ribbon will be uploaded soon

Signed up, I'm #4 Boss Lady. I will be doing a 1/48th P-94 Twinbolt night fighter from two Tamiya P-47 Razorback kits, and in RAAF markings. Will that be "What-If" enough for you ?

Cheers, D
