So, when do we start our engines? I'm in too!
Got this beauty in my stash, almost like waiting just for this campaign.



Based on building Finemolds' R3C-0 for the seaplane campaign back in 2009-2010, I can but recommend these kits. Absolute joy to build, they almost build themselves. The only thing I added was a PE gunsight and seatbelts, plus drilling out the exhausts and machine gun barrels.

Don't understand the question. This is for sea planes.

No?!

Cheers,

It's not my campaign of course, so just my opinion - I think there needs to be some sort of tie in to the movie. failing that, should at least be before 1940 or so, Mediterranean theatre.
there were some military planes, for those who cant bring themselves to do do civilian topics, just look at these Hansa Brandenburgs

Hansas make me think that possibly our hero flew a Macchi M.5? Fly Model did a Macchi that can be mistaken for an M.5 if you squint...

Campaign approved...

You can enlist here

Rule one does state that this campaign is for any float or seaplanes but scratchbuilds and modifications to recreate aircraft from the film are encouraged.

Enlisted!

You mean the R3C-0? Oh, that's 1:48!

Finemolds makes kits of the S.21 and R3C-0 in both 1:72 and 1:48 scales.
