Hi Paul
Go for it, look forward to seeing the build.

I can see this becoming a very good campaign.
I recently picked up an unboxed Matchbox Dornier Do18 which I think I'll build. It looks to be a good kit.

I may attempt a CL 415 or (another) Savoia S. 21 to replace my first one from the Porco Rosso campaign.

Hi there

Something tells me this may be my entry:



A sample just arrived today, and it looks an exquisite kit!

All the best

Rowan

I think I have to do this one.

Stephen Richard Merlin Jessica!
All selections looking good!
I am in the UK until next weekend looking forward to getting back to the modelling bench !
Limited internet where I am!

63cm wingspan! Phew Jess where will you put it?

The wings very cleverly interlock. I just might leave them unglued...

Terri, I did the same thing when i did my Memphis Belle. It's the only way I can get into a reasonable storage container.

All ready to go!

I now have a plane with NZ links.

Yet to decide whether Navy or Air Force.

Welcome Michael!
Looking forward to following your build, nice choice!
1:32 and Resin to boot!
Good luck.

@Michael; Wow! Too rich for my blood...or wallet

But, I'll be watching your build real close.
Right now, too many decisions so I still haven't made my choice yet

Hi Danial,
Expensive is relative I guess. In this part of the world this is no more expensive than Tamiya or Trumpeter 1/32 plane. The way I figure it I will only build one, it's unusual and will be a challenge for me.

cheers
Michael

Hi Michael will it be the spotter Walrus from HMNZS Achilles? I did have a Classic Airframes version to build until it sacrificed itself for the greater good so I could buy a 1/48 scale Canberra.

Hi Chris,
That is the intention though I am having some trouble nailing down a colour scheme. I am building HMS Achilles (as it was then part of the NZ division) for the Battle of Atlantic campaign - The Early Years and I thought they would make a good combination. I am assuming that the Walrus would be in Fleet Air Arm colours but I haven't found out either way yet. All info welcome when I get started.
Cheers
Michael

Hi Michael you're correct during the war they were painted in fleet air arm colours prior to the war they were silver dope. Not to sure of an exact timeline as I've seen pics of them late in the war in silver dope.


I believe this to be HMNZS Leander

Im in with 1/72 Airfix Fairy Swordfish.

This will be my first campaign so wish me luck.

Welcome Bryan and good luck!

Sad news reported over on ArmOramA, earlier this month Snori23 has passed away, we will leave his enlistment on this campaign out of respect.
Richard

I've changed my mind a bit, and I plan to build something a little unusual, providing there are no objections. It could be argued that technically it isn't an aeroplane, but I would equally argue that it isn't a boat either. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you..... The Ekranoplan!



Opinions?

Lee go for it, the more variety the better!

Bump time!

Richard, I need a clarification before we start. I just re-read the campaign rules, and I couldn't see anything about "What Ifs". I'm not talking about slapping a set of floats on an aircraft that never had them, I'm talking about finishing the Ekranoplan in civil airline colours. I looked at a few build logs online, and I saw an Ekranoplan in Virgin Atlantic livery, which gave me the idea. Then I saw the supplied decals with the kit, and they're a little uninspiring.

What do you think?

Hi Lee
I will amend rules to allow "What If" decals to be used.
