This one is also being proposed in Armorama.

June 2017 is the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War which I think certainly calls for a campaign. But it brings up a small issue I've been thinking about and I thought I'd ask you all what you think. Should an anniversary campaign such as this start at such a time that the end of the campaign corresponds to the actual anniversary date (in which case it should start around January 1st, assuming the normal six month time frame) or should the campaign start at the time of the anniversary (June 1, 2017)? Or yet again should the anniversary be in the middle of the campaign?

Anyway, I certainly would like to see a joint AeroScale - Armorama Six Day War 50th Anniversary campaign. And, of course, anyone else who wants to do figures, ships, etc. as well. Anyone out there agree? And when do you think it should start?

Michael

I'd be more than happy to join.
I have DP Caspers 6-Day War decal sheet I have been meaning to use for a long time and some of the kits.
Question is do I build an Israeli Mirage or Jordanian Hunter?

Good on you Stephen!

Kind of surprised this one hasn't gotten more traction. Anyone else interested?

Michael

Of coarse I am intrested in any Israeli campaign

I think interest might pick up.
Got a fair few campaigns ongoing at the moment and maybe people are concentrating on completing those before signing up to a new one.

One of my center of interest is the IDF and the IAF so you can count me in

Well, that's better!

We seem to have seven between the two sites so far and the general consensus seems to be a later rather than an earlier start. I figure a March kick-off date would put the actual anniversary in the middle of the campaign. How does that sound to everyone?

Michael

Well, that was fast.

This campaign is APPROVED.

It will run from 1 March - 1 September, 2017. If you want to see the rules and sign up, go here. I will be running the campaign out of AeroScale simply because I have a little more pull with the admin ( ) but is open to anyone who wants to enter from any KitMaker site.

I'm looking forward to this one! Now, what to build...

Michael

Just to keep the discussion going, and apropos of my previous post, here are my options for the campaign (as of now):



I'm kind of leaning towards the Magach but just about all of them are on the table (probably not the Vautour 'cause, damn.)

We'll see...

Michael

Hey Guys,

I already made my picks, IDF Shot and dug this out of my stash from the 80's

Wow! Look at that box art! What scale is it, I never knew Fujimi did a Mirage?

I'm leaning towards a Jordanian Hunter using the vintage Airfix kit. In the stash, builds easily and quickly. Probably one of my all time favourite kits even though it has been bettered by Revell.

Hi Stephan, she is 1/48,like I said I bought that in the mid 80's, still in the plastic bags. I will have to get some decals after those many who knows if there any Good. This will be first air kit since early 90's

Hi Michael
Count me as in on this one I maybe very greedy and put in an IAF and IDF if the rules permit.

All the best
Adie

Welcome Adie! You can enter as many models as you'd like, but only one ribbon (once I figure one out).

Michael

Here's my ribbon concept:





What do you all think?

Michael

Hi, is this campaign still on?

Cheers, Paul

Sure is Paul, but it doesn't start until 1 March. Just a few days now!

Michael

Well, it's time for this one to kick off! The official thread for this campaign is here. Please post all campaign specific discussion and pics on that thread. This current thread will now be locked.

See you there!
