Hi vlady,
The answer is probably yes, but what's the difference between a group build and a campaign? sorry to appear a bit dim but I'm new to this group build thing :-)

:-) Well the idea of the Spitfire group build is to help novice aircraft builders through a build. So essentially there will be no "rules". However, Bytepilot has indicated a wish to build a Hawker Hurricane, so I've instigated a Hurricane group build, (see the post Hawker Hurricane Group Build). I have also suggested that also running concurrently is a "campaign" build of the Battle for Britain. Anybody in the Spitfire group build would qualify, as would anyone in the Hurricane group build, if they did one from that campaign.
If by Spitfire campaign you mean building any Spitfire, then it would need to run outside the current Spitfire group build because the model chosen for this is the 1/48 Tamiya Mk 1 . This presents a relatively easy build for a novice. It is concevable that the 1/48 Tamiya Mk V could be included, as it is esentially the same kit :-)
Your thoughts on this please, vlady.

I'm so Sorry about the Spit crashing

I came home one day and found one of my dioramas on the floor - If I've told my boys one, I've told them 1,000,000 times - "DONT throw balls in the house!"

If you can build it once, you can build it twice.

vlady - the good news is - I'm going to be posting images of the restored diorama (hopefully) this weekend. It came back quite nicely and went through some nice improvements too.

Sorry to hear about your model/ dio vlady/Scott.
I've got the lowdown on campaigns, I'll put something up probably tomorrow. I've got a bad cold and feel like *hi* at the moment and can't think straight
