All scales welcome

Fastest/Highest flight/longest flight/solo

Campaign to run from 2nd Feb-31st July 2013 if accepted.

Thanks

Nifty! I have a copy each of Amodel's Rutan Voyager and Global Flyer that would work for this.

Hi Jessica
This will be the first campaign that i have proposed.
I have Omega 1/72 DH-60 ,(Amy Johnson first personal aircraft)
i would like to build in this campaign.
This campaign is wide open to all types of AC.
Any way fingers crossed!

not sure i have the time to get into this campaign but thought you might like to know i live about 10 mins from the old croydon airfield where she took off for australia.

Thank's Paul.
Still a long way off befor start.
Hope you can join.

Hi, everyone. Sounds very interesting. I'm thinking about the F4D Skyray. The plane did hold several climb-to-altitude records- even if the Navy did "cheat a bit". And to add to what Jessica wrote: nifty-keen-cool! All the best.
Happy Gluing, JT

I have several planes that fit those parameters, from Me 262, Ba 349, just to name a few possibilities.

Hmmm, There's an X-1, and X-15 and an SR-71 in the stash. The B-58 even held a few spped records too.

And I'm half way through my sr-71 crap But I'm in sounds cool

Six maybe and one possible already!

Okay, I'm in. I've got both F4D Tamiya kits. I'm leaning towards the 1/72 version. This should be a very interesting campaign.
Happy Gluing, JT

Three more brave souls and we have a campaign!

Richard is a Bell H-13H considered a Pioneer Thats all I have in the stash at the moment, but if its not I may have to consider getting and SR-71. What time frame were you looking to go for with this as I am signed up for 10 campaigns on the armor side that I haven't started working on yet

I just hope that when school starts in the fall it don't cut to much into my modeling time

You could convert into a Bell 47-B, the first helicopter to be certified for civil operation. There are a couple different shape options:

Thanks Jessica but my scratch building leaves something to be desired. Well I just found this thing that for sure has to qualify as a pioneer

Piasecki VZ-8P Airjeep in 1/35 scale

Hi Sal
Airjeep (1962)would be ok.
Should this campaign also include space Flight?

Hey, guys!
Great idea! I'm in! Bell XS-1/X-1A/B/D/E, ER-2, Streak Eagle, П-42... So many possibilities!
Richard, if you include X-15... Yeah, I think we should qualify the things flying between atmosphere and space for this campaign.

Hi Dimitar
Sure we can add X-15 to list.
As long as the aircraft model/pilot is a record holder for one of the following:-
Distance/flight altitude/speed (fast & slow) /duration
It would be great to have a campaign open that includes all aviation interests(see how the other half live/model).

Hi to all!
It looks like we have 9 showing interest, a couple of more post and Admin can give us a OK & "Enlist' box.
There is plenty of time before start date to sort out more details and a ribbon for the campaign.

Hi
Just a couple more interested souls and we can apply for Campaign enlist!

Anyone know where I can find a 1/48 Lockheed vega 5b?

The old AMT and Lindbergh kits are the only game in town.

Here's an amazing build of the Lindbergh kit.

The modelling communty is in desperate need of a good 1/48 Vega.

Thank a lot Jessica!
Great link! now I have to get one of these Ac!

Would need to convert it to a b was trying not to but Amelia's plane is sexy.well worth having in the collection

Here is a record breaker from my stash!
