If you want to sign up for this adventure, take a look at the official "Show you Teeth" page!
In short words, every aircraft with a Nose Art showing teeth is elligible. All era, all nations, all scales...



Every finished model will be rewarded with this nice looking ribbon

So what are you waiting for... enlist NOW!

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc

STUNNING artwork! I'm signed up - all I need to do now is to decided what to build... suddenly I keep spotting Sharkmouth-decorated kits on the shelves! I'll probably do a P-40 - I've never built one and you have to sometime, don't you - but Sword's little Auster looks great with its Sharkmouth too...

All the best

Rowan

I'm only just getting started building models again and my model building skills suck at the present time. I really want that ribbon................................................can I just borrow a model with teeth on it and say it is mine? :-)

Signed up and getting the kit for Xmas, but i'll have to find some decals for it. Looking forward to this campaign, Bombs away campaign, the Meow campaign, Bucket Bonanza 2006 an a couple of others. Oh hell i've done it again, signed up for every campaign iv'e got a kit for. Hope the Beloved doesn't want to talk to me for the next 8 months :-)8 :-) .

Hi Ramon... the answer is... NO! :-) I'm afraid you have to build something... with teeth on it!

By the way, I'll do something French... what a surprise!



It would be cool, once the official thread is started in the Campaign Forum, if every participant could post one picture of the choosen kit (like the above one), one in-progress picture and of course one picture of the finished model. I think it must be possible too have a dedicated gallery for the build... I will "work" on that!

Jean-Luc

Hi Ramon... the answer is... NO! I'm afraid you have to build something... with teeth on it!

I know, I know. But it didn't hurt to ask.
Hey Jean-Luc, I am going to build another P-40 for this project. I'm the guy who's Uncle was an original Flying Tiger remember? Could you please recomend a good kit? I found a kit online the other day that actually comes with the decal sheet for my Uncles plane but I didn't save the link and can't find it again.

many thanks, and I'm looking forward to this build.

Hi Hermon! Off course I remember! It's great to have you with us on this campaign.
your Uncle flew this plane while in the AVG...



To model this plane (in 1/48 scale) you would have two options:
1 - The old Monogram P-40B kit. It has raised rivets and panel lines and is difficult to find but is considered to be accurate in shape...
2 - The Hobbycraft/Academy P-40B/C kit wich is newer, has engraved panel lines but is considered to be inaccurate in shape...
In both cases, you would have to scan for an Aftermarket Decal sheet (if available!?) as both kits don't have the precise decoration of your Uncle's plane I think.

The kit you are talking about is probably Hasegawa's new P-40E kit (wich I have in my stash). The kit comes indeed with markings for a plane flown by your Uncle Ed. Rector as you can see on the boxart.



But "technically" speaking, this is not an AVG plane anymore! As the United States entered into WW2, the Flying Tigers became the 23rd Fighting Group of the U.S. Army Air Force and therefore lost their chinese roundels for U.S. stars (Note the overpainted chinese markings on the picture above).

Fred Boucher (JPTRR) built this kit not long ago and you can have a precise overview of the kits difficulties, mainly regarding the typical Hasegawa inserts. Some others found the kit not that difficult so I think Fred choosed the hard way to show us what not to do while building the kit! :-)

Here's the link to Fred's P40-E thread.

Looking forward to see your model of your Uncle's plane Ramon!

Hi Jean-Luc,

I didn't know that new campaigns would be approved before 2006. I hope that this has not ruined my chances to host my proposed Suez stripes 50th anniversary campaign

Of course I'll join your dental campaign. Who knows, I just might build a Swedish aircraft in 1/72! :-)

The only one that I have found using teeth is the Saab J21A;


Then again, I've seen this extremely cool pod (containing eight 7,9 mm machine guns) to be hanged under a J21R...


Would that be accepted?

Cheers!!!

Hi Björn!

You're kidding! :-) Of course that would be accepted! The gun pod looks sooooo cool!

Nice to have you with us!

Jean-Luc

As if I don't have enough to be getting on with

I have a P-40 and Skull markings which I have been itching to build so I'll give it a go, but don't expect me to finish

Jean-Luc, I'm unable to put my name down for the campaign, there doesn't appear to be a buuton to click?

Mal

I'm in with a 1/72 hasegawa catmouth hellcat. It will probably be oob and a pretty quick build.

Leon

Hi Mal

There should be an "enlist" button towards the top of the blue panel at the right of the campaign page.

All the best

Rowan

Hi Mal!

Maybe you already exceeded the number of Campaigns limit! :-)
The "enlist" button is clearly visible on the page for me... maybe you should "refresh" your browser or empty your cache folder?

Jean-Luc

I've enlisted now
'onest guv, there were no enlist button there when I last looked. Is it another attempt at conspiracy?
Mal

Ok Jean-Luc, you were right about the Hasegawa P-40E kit. It was exactly what I was looking for. Fred has already built this kit and you say you have one in your stash.........I checked with my local model shop and can't get my hands on one until after Jan 1st. You guys make me sick! :-)
I must warn you........and every one else.... that my P-40 will be quite ferocious and should probably be displayed on it's own seperate page lest it should become agitated and harm or even eat someone elses plane.

respectfully yours,
VonCuda......future owner of the most terrifying P-40 death machine in the world. In 1/48 scale that is.

Hi Hermon!

That's good news... looking forward to see your most terrifying P-40 death machine in the world!

Jean-Luc

...count me in...

Hi Nigel!

Nice one! Welcome aboard!

Jean-Luc

I'm going to try and get in on this campaign, all the way from sunny afghanistan. Since I happened across an A-7E Corsair II model at the Hobby club here.

Great idea for a campaign.. I'm in for either a CF T-33, RAF F-4 or Su-25, got sharkmouth decs for all of them

Hi Darktrooper and Stormfront!

Modern stuff would be great to add diversity to the Campaign! Welcome aboard...

Jean-Luc

hi everyone,

i finally decided to join this campaign. i have a DML 1/72 P-61 with teeth decals. i also have an aires detail set. i'll be using a resin set for the first time here, so hope you guys can be supportive when i encounter problems..

OK, I do not know HOW I missed this post, but with a moniker like Sharkmouth, I MUST sign up!

Jean-Luc, can I include an armor entry with shark's teeth? LOL, you may get some armor modelers to join the ranks as well as get some aircraft modelers to try armor!

Regards,
Saúl García
