Hey Jean, just joined on and yes I'll be doing a helicopter. Cobra, Apache, maybe even a Huey. Not sure which on yet but either way it's going to be cool.
Oh for Duel in the Sky I'm doing the 1/32 Phantom.

Hi Lim and Saúl!
Glad you joined in!
Lim a P-61 sounds good! And don't worry, you will find any help you need here at Armorama...
Sorry Saúl, I submitted this as an Aircraft only Campaign... a few month ago, I didn't realised the "multi-cultural" power of Armorama. But you can still make a A-10 Tank Buster... or a P-40 as you have a lot of Ultracast detail parts already. With such a callsign, you just HAVE to participate to the "Show your Teeth" Campaign! :-)

Hi Joe!
Glad to have a "teethed" Helo in the campaign. No matter what kind of helo you will build, I'm sure it will be a masterpiece!
As for the "Duel" campaign, you have until June to find someone building an opponent plane. But I don't think it will be hard to find one for the Phantom! It must have fought every plane around the world since it entered service! :-)

Ok I am in too. After seeing Joe throw a helo in the mix . I figured I could dust off my 1/35 Huey "Heavy Hog" to keep his company Among all those great A-10's and P-40's

I had the same problem earlier. If you go to the campaign on the main site and click on it the enlist button is there.
For some reason when I used the link that Merlin posted in his message it does not show up.
Merlin are you hiding the enlist button again??!!

Done and done. Thank you sir. Now you all are in trouble. Everyone knows the best were the first. 1916. Even the Grasshoppers had teeth.

Hi Paul and stephen!
Welcome on board! So some WW1 planes had also teeth? They must have a denture now... :-)

Jean-Luc,
I am in!
Don't know yet if the next build will be AVG or 112th Sqn, but there will be another sharmouth.
What about things already built? I did this Mustang MkIII of the 112th earlier this year, is it admissible?

Hi Odd!
First, let me welcome you on Armorama!
But I must also tell you the Campaign rules don't allow already finished models. I'm afraid you must build a new one! Isn't life cruel! :-)
Your sharkmouth P-51 looks great! Can't wait to see with what you will come next. no doubt it will be a nice model too...

I was afraid of that ;-) and it's OK, there are plenty of good subjects to model. I will be back with a new one.

The current Model Aircraft Monthly has an interesting piece on the subject of Sharkmouths.

Hi Jean-Luc,
I signed up the other day....actually started a P-40 on New Year's Day (!).Almost finished, will paint it this afternoon. I have a few in-progress shots on the "Campaigns" thread. My first campaign here, maybe I'll do several entries.
Cheers,
JK

James, there is only one problem with your cockpit that I can see. It's not going into my P-40
Very, very nice job.
Is it a P-40?.......a mustang?.......a warthog?......a Mess109?.......
wait, it's a SPITFIRE right?
Very, very nice job.

Surveillance cameras in the East Midlands reveal that Mal has already started work on his entry for the campaign
Posted: Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 03:28 AM UTC
Hi all!
Mal, you shouldn't talk to much about your secret Spi... let us being surprised when it is finished!
Jeroen, I don't think you will do much wrong if you choose an Hasegawa kit! They usually make into nice detailled models...
James! Two entries? I also want to build two... but I will be happy to finish one with all the Campaigns going on! I became a Campaign junkie!

Need some direction, I've got three P40's with teeth, but too many of you will be doing P40's, so... I'm going to go with one of these two.... hmmmmmmmm....
the Spitfire Mk VIII is Wing Commander Robert "Bobby" Gibbes flying 'Grey Nurse' No. 457 RAAF 1945. Would be using Victory Productions AM decals and a slew of Ultracast resin parts. First photo is of the Hasegawa 48th scale kit to be used.
the Seaking will be OOB

Hi Frank!
I'm more into 1/48 WW2 planes, but I would also like to see how this Sea King will look like once you've finished it! It has an awsome decoration... and must be a nightmare to decal! :-)
