Our friend Richard Tonge (tinbanger) is trying to organize a site-wide Airfix IV campaign. You can view his thread and let him know you're up for it here. With the quality of kits Airfix is now turning out, this sounds like a winner!

I might pull my Airfix 1/24 Typhoon from WTO campaign and put it in here and replace it with Eduard's FW190F-8.

I'm in but with an Old Tool kit. Just can't decide between a Brewster Buffalo, SB2C Heldiver, or a TBM Avenger.

I've been away from the hobby for a long time but might be tempted back by an Airfix build, I'll have a ponder.

I've signed up, but no idea what kit to go with yet. When are the Walrus and Sae Fury scheduled to appear? Those are both on the wish-list.

Alternatively, I might have another bash at the 1/48 Hurricane (new tool) - that's a lovely wee beast!

Would you allow some after-market decals on an Airfix model for this campaign? The plane I would prefer to build would be either Hurricane or Bf109 from Battle of Britain. I got additional decal for those two - extra stencil markings for Bf109 and I've got alternative squadron markings for Hurricane - No. 303 (Polish) that I would like to use. If you think that would break the rules of engagement for this campaign, I've got several other great Airfix models to choose from.

Hi welcome to the campaign.
As long as the kit is Airfix after market decal will be allowed.

I've got a lot in the stash but I have something I've wanted to build for a long time currently on its way to me that I'll enter.

Looking forward to this one!
