I think I was a little premature here.... Guess I might want to wait until they approve it before I say we can enlist, HUH? Sometimes I am not the sharpest scalpel on the bench....

OK, the good news is that this campaign is APPROVED!

The bad news is that it won't start until November of next year. Them's the rules, sorry!

You can go here to sign up.

As an Aircraft campaign the thread should be here. I will post a link to this thread in the Rotary Wing thread and lock that one.

Dear Rotor RPM campaign participants:

Here at AeroScale we're constantly testing the waters to see how we can make your online modeling experience even better. Due to some suggestions around campaign organization, we've decided to change things up a bit to encourage participation and completion of models. To that end, we're changing the one campaign start per month rule to two and allowing started kits into the standard (as opposed to hanger queen) campaigns.

Therefore, with the consent of your campaign leader, this campaign will now start on June 1, 2015 and run 'til November 30, 2015. In addition, models up to 33% started will be allowed (for instance: cockpit finished and fuselage buttoned up but not the rotors, engines, or any painting).

We hope you will agree with these changes and they will encourage you to join in and finish campaigns here on AeroScale!

Jessie, I am thinking of an old Bell O-47 in 1/48 if there is such an animal.

The Italeri Bell 47 is available in 1/72 and 1/48. If you want something a little bigger, it's available in 1/35 from Revell and used to be available from MRC. The Revell is a 47G and the MRC is a -D (different fuel tanks and other small features).

I am in. It will be fun.

Have no idea what I will build, but probably an Apache in 1/48.

Are what if choppers allowed?
