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

Click on the link above (a few posts above, or go to campaigns, you need to be signed in, the enlist button is on the right, click it and that is it! I hope this campaign will spawn a good few models.

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

What a great campaign, all enlistees, lets encourage others to sign up.

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,
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.

Thank you all, I have now joined as number 10

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.

Does anyone by chance have the assembly instructions for Frog's Bristol Blenheim that they might be able to scan and post? I might decide to do it for this campaign instead of the Avenger II. There is another campaign that might be starting (Aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm) and I was thinking of doing the Avenger II for it since it is in FAA markings and maybe do the Frog Blenheim for this campaign. It seems some time in the decades it has been sitting in my stash the instructions disappeared.

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
Posted: Monday, July 08, 2013 - 09:22 AM UTC
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
