Hi all with the Airshow season getting underway here in the UK and the ever increasing excitement of going to the R.I.A.T i had an idea , how about an aerobatic aircraft build ? It can be of any aircraft from any aerobatics team civil or military and from any period of history so for example you could build a T-50 from the amazing Black Eagles or a BAE Hawk from the Red Arrows or even the C-130 from the Blue Angels or how about a Sopwith Snipe of the Central Flying School in 1930 ??
Theres quite a lot to choose from when you start thinking about it


What do you think ??

That sounds like fun
Might even be an excuse to drag this one out:

I like it. Count me in

Count me in.

Well, I have a Fiat G.91 from Tamiya.

another good idea i could totally join in on.

Nice idea !
Need to find something .

Good luck with thar A-model kit Jessica !!

wow ! some great interest already That A-Model looks good Jessica .. im not sure when the best time to run this would be as theres a lot going on already what do you all think ?

Does it have to be a display team, or could it just be a specially marked display aircraft?

well i was just thinking of aircraft from a team IE F-18 blue angels or F-16 form the Thunderbirds ect

how about this for the ribbon ??

Stand alone display aircraft would be ok as long as its an aircraft that performs an aerobatic display IE the F-16 from the Royal Netherlands Airforce display team

Cool, that was the one I was thinking of Just received the decals in the post

Count me in!

Sounds interesting....tell me more. i.e. start time and length.

How about from October this year to March next year ?? say six months ?

Campaigns are 6 months as a rule. Given that we already have several campaigns starting in the October timeframe it'll probably be late Winter or early Spring 2014 before this one gets a slot open.

Ok thats fine so shall we say March to August 2014 ??

I'll put my hand up as a possible maybe for a next year start. I do have a Matchbox 'Blue Diamonds' T7 Hunter in the stash.

I'm in, likely with a CF-188 display aircraft, but I've got a few other options in the stash as well.

Don't worry about dates as the Campaign admins will sort them out

I could be in for this one as I have a 1/48 kit of the MB339 for the Frecce Tricolori somewhere in the stash.

Awesome theres some great interest already id better start looking for something myself haha i think i like the look of the academy T-50 from the Black Eagles i saw them at the R.I.A.T last year and they were fantastic !!

Sounds fun! I have several Blue Angel aircraft I could do, including a conversion for the 1/32 Academy F/A-18. Count me in!

Good, count me in then. Early 2014 with a rare Blue Angel performer should be interesting
