OK, Ive been watching, I'll go along with this.
The campaign is likely to start after the new year 2014, I guess, considering how many campaigns we have on already.
By then perhaps Airfix will have made up a special run of Vampire kits just for us with extra goodies..

Yeah this must be 2014. We need the full six months, I want people to pull out all the stops!

Not that there isn't a good deal of time to hammer things out... But on the matter of rules I have these thoughts.

All comers welcome, including staff members. But prizes only awarded to non-staff competitors. So if Rowan say got first in the voting, the first spot prize would go to the second place winner etc. Just to keep things above board.

PE and resin permitted. But The airframe must be from the source kit. In this case the booms, fuselage, wings and rear stabilizers. All moveable control surfaces, interiors, canopy, jetpipe and landing gear are open to change.

These ones I think may be controversial and would warrant discussion:

No conversion to other types. So no making it a Mk.II or F.3 or a Venom. Only T.11 and T.55's.

What if's??? I can't decide. I was thinking maybe, but only for countries that had Vampires but never T.55's...

No dio's or figures. This would include pilots for wheels down builds (if you go wheels up I would permit one of the airfix supplied pilots). My thinking here being that s a competition, we want focus entirely on the technique and build and not on additionals.



Finally, the more recruits the better! If it comes down to it I'll buy a prize for the first place winner. But I'd rather be able to get Airfix's attention and have them pitch in!

We may have hit upon a supply and demand snag. Magnus reports that Airfix has run out of Vampires at the moment. If you see an Airfix Vampire in your local hobby shop it may be a good idea to grab it as soon as possible.

Cyber Hobby Vampire could be a viable alternative. It screams out for scratch built or AM parts.

Plus it's a single seater so way more decal options open up.
