1. Entry must be based on the idea of two related aircraft, at least 20 years apart as modeled.
2. Any scale, any airforce(s)/airline(s), civil or military.
3. Each entry must have at least two models (stand-alone or in a diorama OK).
4. Models can be of two or more aircraft from the same unit at least 20 years apart as modeled. The same unit means a squadron, group (or equivalent unit), or airline that share a common heritage, for instance each have the same number designation (e.g. RFC 56 Sqn. in WWI and RAF 56 Sqn. WWII or later) or same badge/name (e.g. U.S.N. squadrons VF-17 in WWII and VFA-103 today, both the Jolly Rogers with the skull and crossbones unit marking).
5. Alternatively models can be two or more of the same or similar type of aircraft from the same or successor manufacturer at least 20 years apart. Examples include Sopwith Camel, Hawker Hurricane, Hawker Harrier; or MiG-3 and MiG-21 or Mig 29; or Douglas SBD Dauntless and McDonnell-Douglas A-4; or Boeing 247 and 747.
6. Alternatively models can be two or more aircraft with the same name at least 20 years apart. Examples such as P-38 Lightning and Israeli F-16C Barak (Lightning in Hebrew); Hawker Typhoon and Eurofighter Typhoon.
7. Two modelers can team up to build one entry, in which case both models should be new builds. In this case, modelers are encouraged to use the campaign thread to find a partner but it’s up to the modeler to do so (the campaign leader isn't going to team people up). If you're doing it this way, be sure to indicate who you’re teaming with each time you post a picture (so I don't get too confused!)
8. Alternatively, one modeler can do both models in an entry. To make this campaign fun and doable for those interested, it’s OK if one of the models is already completed and the modeler just makes the companion model to go with it. If one person does both models, they should be the same scale so they can be shown together.
9. Either method used in rules 7 or 8 will count as one entry and each modeler involved will get a ribbon (yes, you’ll get a ribbon if you finish even if your “buddy” doesn’t).
10. Enter as many as you like and you can use different entry methods but each modeler will only get one ribbon and each model can only be part of one entry.
11. At least one in progress shot of each model should be posted in the campaign thread and at least one finished shot in the campaign gallery (if you’re teaming up, be sure to indicate in the campaign gallery which models go together.)
12. The idea here is to show off how aviation has changed over the years and have fun!
I tried to make them inclusive and understandable and included examples in each alternative. I'm not sure if the examples don't make things MORE confusing and cluttered, but that's why I'm asking you all!
Look 'em over, let me know if they make sense and cover what we've been talking about. I'm not afraid to take criticism, but might defend my choices!
