I'll join in with this campaign. The local model shop has a very Sea Vixen kit I've been considering getting. This will give me the excuse to get it.

Beauty Jack! I've been hoping to see that one!

Michael

Made my final decision,

Wingnut wings RNAS Pup, S/Cmdr Dunnings aircraft. only a couple of weeks to go, so making room on the bench.

Si

Just a few days left and I'm having my usual second thoughts about subject. What do you all think about a Hobbycraft 1/32 Sea Fury with Fisher interior, wheel wells and prop? It would go nicely with Si's build (first and last FAA carrier piston engined aircraft, and Hawker was the successor to Sopwith).

Michael

That sounds great! You could do this with it

I'm thinking of something early. Each of these offers FAA schemes. The Schneider and the Scout also have those cool red/white roundels.

Like that Michael,

will make a nice pair in the Gallery,

Interesting selection to choose from Jessie, nice to see another early job.

Si

Aaacckkk! Thanks for your faith in me Jessie, but somehow I don't think so.

For purely selfish reasons, I say go for the Tabloid. I have one of those buried somewhere and would like to see how it builds.

Michael

I'm really leaning towards those red and white roundels. Since the Schneider is 95% a Tabloid anyway, we can achieve both our wishes

Ooo, me too, me too! I want to play!

Cool campaign!

Now... What have I got that I can build???

How about the Roden 1/72 Sopwith 2F1 "Ship's" Camel?

That'd do it!

Michael

Well, according to the clock on the wall it's May 1 in Old Blighty, and since this is a Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm campaign, I hereby declare it commenced!

The official thread for the campaign is here, this thread will be locked at this time.

Now get cracking everyone, Trafalgar day +10 is right around the corner!
