Anyone interested in a Korean War campaign? It could be limited to aircraft or we could open it up to the whole KitMaker community. I'd be looking at a June start date (70th anniversary and all).

Whaddaya think?

Always up for a Korean War campaign. Might have an F-86 or an F-84 somewhere. maybe even aa F-82 Definitely have a F3D-night fighter, I want to convert an F7F-3 to an F7F-3N both for VMF-513 (WF tail Code). I have a slightly started Walker Bulldog (too late?), a VMF-513 F4U-5N and an F-80 from then I'm trying to finish.

Not much action here, so I'm giving this one a bump.

I'm going to be starting a dual build of Special Hobby's 1/48 AF-2 Guardians -- Hunter and Killer -- in the near future so count me in.




I will confirm that the ones I build were deployed to the Korean theatre.

I would be in if it was extended as I have a Korean War Duster.

I have an F-86 that I started years ago and shelved that shouldn't be too far along to qualify so I'd be down for this.

This seems a like a great time for a Korea campaign.

I wouldn't object to making it longer. That's 8 so far!

Hi Michael

Sorry when I said extended I meant to include ground things that shoot down winged things

Sorry for the confusion

Ah, Michael, I think he means he wants to add targets to the campaign.

I am in!

I have a ton of cool stuff in all kinds of scales. Maybe build my old Monogram 1/48 duel set with a MIG-15 and a Sabre. I think there is even a stand in the box for the birds.

Hi Michael,

it might be a good idea to open it up to all groups such as armour and figure builders... you might get a better draw that way.

count me in if that happens

cheers,

Klaus

Ah, I see (said the blind man, as he picked up a hammer and saw)! He thinks we should include crawly and swimmy things. I have no problem with that! And I will adopt David's suggestion of advertising in their forums as well. Could be fun!

Greetings from the ground! Saw your call on Armorama and would be interested - what's the end date? Also, is it only new builds, or can "shelf queens" come in too? (Got both, but looking for mojo to finish off a stalled M36B2 build...)

I figure 10 months for this one, so if it starts in June it would end in April of next year. Normally my campaigns allow anything up to 25% started.

Welcome!

OK, this one is APPROVED! It will run from 1 June, 2020 through 1 July, 2021. To view the rules and sign up, go here.

I have several possibilities for this campaign, should be interesting!

I'm in. Most likely with an F3D Skynight unless I can find a F7F-3N conversion set for the old Monogram F7F-3 kit.

I had a perfectly good kit waiting just for this campaign - Dragon/Cyberhobby M46 Patton. Unfortunately, since DS tracks were horrible for a few years, the tracks have disintegrated on mine

Nonetheless, I'm still interested. I have an old Tamiya M4A3E8 Korean War version that I can build

EDIT: It's a shame it is still in a few months though. The amount of backlog I'm able to clear with the covid-19 quarantine has been quite satisfactory.

Hi Guy,
That time frame could work for me. I've got the old Lindberg kit of the USS Sentry, Admirable class minesweeper. I was thinking of doing it as the USS Pirate, AM-275 or USS Pledge, AM-277 which were sunk by mines while clearing the channel into Wonsan harbor. It will be a fairly OOB build.

All signed up! My M36 is too far along for the 25% rule, but I've got loads of other candidates in the stash - M46, M4A3E8, Centurion, Cromwell etc...

(I'd build a figure of my dad, but he was rotated Stateside at the end of '49 and missed the shooting. Not sure if his presence might have caused it though... )

Agreed. It would be nice to see ships and land vehicles from the conflict. And a good way of honoring all vets.
