Fixed and you should now be able to enlist 
I have tried to join the campaign yet I have no idea how to as the link (as quoted above) gives an overview and rules but nowhere I can see to add my participation. Please tell me how.
As an aside Frog also produced 1/32 car kits as I remember wanting their Ambulance, but at 19s 11d it was beyond my budget

Often on this web site, when a new window opens, you have to log in again.

I'm in, that makes 5. Not sure which one tho. I'd like to do the Corsair cause it's got NZ markings, I've never done a Kiwi before, but I haven't done a Hellcat in over 40 years....

Robb, yur jumping the gun. You arent supposed to start work until the start date of the campaign, which is Dec 1st, at which time an OFFICIAL campaign thread will be started.
youll have to work on other projects until then!

Robb,
I'm doing a dry run on a Frog (Airlines) MS406 for the Anything Goes Campaign.
There is a month left to go to finish an airplane in that campaign.

Good news. we have a nice group forming.
I keep collecting more Frog kits, I have yet to open one I dont just love. look at this, which I just got this week-

RobbD, Im totally sympathetic with the impulse to start building. I might have to build this for the
DeHavilland campaign which starts in September. Even that seems a long way off.

The kits are very simple and fun to build. I'm even doing an old school build on my current Frog project.

Love the Frog comet so much better than the Airfix kit

ANYTHING is better than the Airfix one. I could do with a couple of Comets, two out of three of mine got creamed by a falling picture, I'll look out for a couple of Frog ones and use the Airfix decals if necessary. Meanwhile I have just acquired a Frog Mossie courtesy of Jonathan, that will be my entry, haven't opened it yet and it may need new decals. I can wait a few months

The Frog Comet is 1/96 scale, as are most of their airliners.
Only the VC-10 and the 707 are 1/144.
Im going to build an Airfix Comet for the next Ancient Airfix campaign, wish me luck

These were DH88 Comets like the ones above, at 1/72 scale but in contrast to the one above the Aifix ones have 24 pieces in, and are probably the worst kits I have ever built
