Four has been a pretty lucky number in military aircraft over the years. F4B, F4F, F4U, F4D, F4H/F-4, A-4. You can even go for P-40, P-47, B-24, and F-14. And how about the M4 Sherman, Panzer IV, Cruiser Mk.IV, Infantry tank Mk.IV Churchill, and even T-34. How about a campaign for any aircraft, tank, etc. with a 4 in the designation? It sure would be varied!

What do folks think?

Looks like it has a 4 to me! It would be a six month campaign possibly staring in May or June.

Ooh, I like the look of the Canadair C4. Another candidate for future foiling.

Howdy Y'all,
Good thing I'm doing my SP-5B Marlin for the Air Recce campaign.

Take care,

Ok...count me in. It will take me until summer, anyway, to figure out which thing with a four in it I want to build out of the stash. F-14?, P-40?, F4U?, F-4? Too good to be true.

Cheers,

Ian

The rules say it must be a vehicle. What about a Flak43?

I enlisted! Here is my inspiration and ultimate goal for this campaign build. The LVT-4 nearest the camera half buried in the black sands of Iwo Jima. I plan to use the Airfix 1/76 kit and add a lot of modifications. Modifications I did not realize or recognize until scanning and enlarging this image.
LVT-4, 10th Landing Vehicle Tractor Battalion, Beach Yellow two, Iwo Jima, February 1945
