Hi there

Just to let you all know, I've started a thread for Project X in the Campaigns Forum.

What's Project X you may ask!... Well, it's an idea Flitzer and I have had for a while. From an aircraft perspective, it's a Group Build devoted to Prototypes, Luft '46 and X-planes - but the plan is encompass experimental equipment and vehicles of all kinds, so everyone in Armorama can join in.

I'll probably do something like an XP-55 Black Bullet, but might try a bit of surgery to build the Supermarine F.37/34 design of January 1935... later to be known as a ... Spitfire!

The start date is planned for September, so plenty of time time get ideas together. At the moment we're all set to run this as an A-UK Super Group Build, but if we can get enough names we might be able to make this an official campaign.

What do I get on completion? Well, I have to say, Peter has designed the most awesome Campaign Award you're likely to see! Whether it goes on your stats or your sig. line, this medal is something you'll want to show off!

This one could be a lot of fun!

So here it is....


I'm not sure what I'll build yet...a few ideas in the pondering zone.
As usual comments are welcome.

Cheers

I can't resist! I'm joining here. I'll be doing an YF-35. Is it ok? BTW, when is the end date?

Sorry, can't fit in another project




Wait...................................................(mention of Supermarines finest)?






(Thinks) Is someone deliberately trying to entice me into this group build against my will? Have to resist #:-) :-) Sod it I'll have to do it, cos you can't have to many Spitfires, can you?
Rocket you do realise that I will now have to buy another Tamiya Spitfire, and a conversion set. You know I haven't got absolute proof of the markings she wore on her first flight. Eeek!
I aint promising owt

Great to have you aboard Shonen! Yeah! The YF-35 is fine. We deliberately announced this early to judge reaction - "officially" we're kicking off in September with an Xmas(ish) finish - but if you want to start sooner that's fine.

"Gone fishing..." What's the best bait to hook a Holdfast? Darn it! He's sussed out my sneaky plan!

Still, got you interested Mal! :-) How about the pre-Prototype Spit, with a different rear fuselage cross-section, low set tail, different wingtips and exhausts venting under the fuselage? Now that would be one for the collection!

As regards the first flight - even pinning down the elusive blue-grey should be fun!

All the best
