This will be my entry into this campaign:-

I'm in! Time to move 4ward and work on my Italeri PzIV!

finally ... I got a chance to build up my Humvee ...
the M1114 ...

Recently I have had a focus on 1/48 WWII fighters and 1/24 Muscle Cars so this might be a perfect opportunity to smash out a quick 1/72 multi-engine build which I have conveniently stashed away. I won this in a club raffle a couple of years back.

Quite the front turret on that one

Nice choice Damian.
Would love to see one of these built.

I´m in....
May be with a P-47 or a F-4

I should probably join a campaign one of these days... We'll see how the timing plays out.

Brings to mind some Monty Python . . . "Did he just call me big nose?"

I'm guessing that the PB4Y-2 is a repop of the Matchbox kit. I've got it somewhere with loads of panels to pop in for various options, so there's plenty of sanding and filling.

I'm in with a F(4)ord BNO-40, dragging away a broken F4U tail section, on the deck of CV-14. During the battle of Leyte late 1944...

An interesting choice, Damian. I've never seen one modelled before. Though I'd be wary of combining the words: multi-engined and quick-build. Hopefully you'll be fortunate. My experience is more engines = more putty = more sanding. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks for the encouragement folks! I'm hoping that the gaps and seams scale down at the same ratio as the parts, and my ham-fistedness follows suit!
Edit: I went stash-diving and found the kit tonight, when I originally got the kit I cut the fuselage and wing parts off the sprues to do some test-fitting. The fit looks pretty good, but the locating pins on the fuselage halves are quite small and far apart so I think I will need to put a bit of bracing in to strengthen it. The instructions call for 40 grams of weight in behind the cockpit bulkhead to keep it sitting right. Here is a comparison shot with my current 1/48 P-47 build.

Here are the three kit scheme options

The US Navy and Aero Navale versions have the turrets, the RCAF version has all of the small side windows, so I will do some research into review builds to see which version presents the least difficulty. On first look I am leaning towards the Aero Navale scheme in overall gloss midnight blue, but then again I don't mind the look of the tricolour USN scheme. The thought of this much NMF to do the RCAF version is a bit daunting, but it would be impressive. Time for a glass of red and some contemplation.

Cheers, D

I am in this build. I am going to do either a Canadair CL-44 or their CL415. I tend to favour Canadian built aircraft for some reason. Now to find a kit of one of them.

I'm in with Great Wall's 3.7cm Flak 43.

Although probably not totally appropriate, my plan is to tow this behind the SdKfz 251/1 I'm building for 250/251 campaign.

Hey, what the heck, I see a 4 on the box!

CL-44
CL-415

Ooh sign me up!

Got a Dragon T34/85 with the odd bedspring armors in my stash which I got fairly cheaply (20 USD give or take). Good thing this campaign starts in June cause I'll probably be swamped with work in the coming month.

Whoo hoo! Happy birthday to me (about a month ago)! Should I do one of these bad boys?



Michael

I'm in. New to the group build game. Should be fun!

Cheers!

My LVT4 is on deck! The parts are all there and I’ll be using a set of Bison Decals for the markings. I know they are not the same scale (1/72 & 1/76) but am hoping it is close enough for what I’m after. Now time to sit back and await the start date to arrive.

Hey, we don't have a ribbon yet! I have a couple of ideas:

Simple:





Or a little more subtle:





Let me know what you think! I'm certainly open to other ideas as well if neither of these trip your triggers.

Michael

My current campaign build is ending soon so that will clear my desk. So I'm in with WNW's Rumpler C.IV. Going to build it anyway so may as well sign up.

I like the four oak leaf clusters.
The oak leaves need to be a bit lighter or brighter for more contrast.

How's this?
