Hey all,

I'm considering either doing the Corsair or maybe the Avenger.

For the Corsair, I found on an online chat, the 3 colors needed for the "tri-color" camo:

FS 35042 NON- SPECULAR SEA BLUE (TOP)
FS 35164 INTERMEDIATE BLUE (MIDDLE)
FS 37875 INSIGNIA WHITE (BOTTOM)

Anyone know what those may translate into Model Master Acrylics or Tamiya Acrylics?

Mike

Edit: Well, more digging found the answer (Tamiya):

FS 35042 = AS-8 Navy Blue (rattlecan)
FS 35164 = AS-19 Intermediate Blue (rattlecan)
FS 37875 = AS-20 Insignia White (rattlecan)

Don't want rattlecan....so, I'll have to go check out HobbyTown to see what they have.

Edit 2: Other paints

FS 35042 = Testors MM 1718 Flat Sea Blue or Vallejo 898 Dark Sea Blue
FS 35164 = Testors MM 1720 Intermediate Blue or Vallejo 903 Intermediate Blue
FS 37875 = Testors MM 1768 Flat White or Vallejo 951 White

Oh, incredible Paint Cross Reference chart is here.

just type the federal standard colors into spruebrothers and they will come up.and hobby town is generally mor expensive than sprue anyways

Slick Keep! Haven't been to Sprue Bro's in a looong time.

Corsair it is. I think we need just one more to take it to the Campaign Admins.

Mike

Your welcome.i use to shop at hobby town now I only go there in case of emergency's lol.there model prices are ridiculous and spruebrothers has always had top notch customer service,if the shipping ends up being cheaper they refund the overage,and generally its shipped to me in just a few days.and every thing Ive needed they carry or have it with in a few days and notify you via email that its in.SHOP THERE!

Just one more my mirage is on its way so this needs to be a go lets take a break and have some fun

Check it out! I hope one of you haven't put that bid in: SR-71 with base and figgie. Nice!

Mike

Am building a Eggbatros..... but I can do another egg so count me in!! My only question is does it have to be a kit? Can you start with a egg and see what you can come up with?

Bob Wiber

THAT sounds like a "scratch build" to me. I'm sure you'll come up with something that resembles the "proverbial" eggplane.

Are ye number 10??

Mike

Oh, I am in even if you don't allow scratch builts..... So, I am your No. 10...

Bob

10 you have master Mike, start it you must

Nice. Any thoughts on start/end dates? I'm wide open to this...

Mike

I have a couple of eggs laying around so throw my name into the hat. Should take me about 9 months to finish one.

Don't worry about start end dates as the Admins (Sam and I) will fit the campaign into the schedule we have for 2012. just submit the campaign and we'll take it from there

Thanks Allen. I've submitted the proposal.

Anyone have ideas for a "ribbon?"

Mike

How about an egg with angel wings or aviator's wings for the ribbon?

Campaign approved

Go Here to enlist

Emre, I like the idea of an egg, right side up, superimposed on a set of Aviator wings. That would be slick.

Mike

Something like this, but with some background colors:



Mike

Duck Egg blue???

Perfect although remember when it's scaled down to about the size of an ant it looks a little differant

Just signed up.

Updated Campaign Ribbon.

Thoughts?

Mike

Nice idea on the ribbon.

Or...

Since we all know that there will be another "Egg" build somewhere down the line how about one egg for this campaign. Then for the next campaign another egg added to the ribbon and so on until we get to a dozen at which time a cluster can be added to a single egg.

Maybe keep the wings in the background with transparant (colored) eggs over the wings.

Yes Mike, that's exactly the ribbon I was thinking about

Joe, for the next one we can put two eggs in a bird's nest and then impose that on aviator's wings.

Very cool ribbon

I like the ribbon as well and very similar to the idea i was going to suggest
