Just thought I'd post this for the members to ponder over...

With the soon to be release of the Eduard I-16s in 48th scale and the reissue by Eduard of the AM Yaks. (not to mention the availability of most other Russian Fighters and lend lease aircraft) Has anyone ever proposed a campaign for Russian WW2 planes? Simply titled VVS it would encapsulate all Army Air Force planes, or we could include the Naval Air Forces by calling it the VVS VFM campaign.......

any thoughts?!?......

Hi Frank!

I'm becoming a "Campaign Junkie"... but I also love Russian WW2 planes. I think I would participate, but, like I said in another thread, only in 2007!

Hi frank,

I have two Accurate Miniature kits (Yak 1b and IL2 Stormovik) that need an excuse to be built.

Hi Frank

You mention this when my Yak is almost finished! :-)

No, seriously, I'd join in - I love the subject - but I agree with Jean-Luc about keeping the campaign for 2007. Maybe it could be in the batch to start off the year?

All the best

Id definately be interested in this one!
Ive been looking for an excuse to try something in Russian markings.
A 2007 campaign sounds like the best idea.
