John, since we welcome also flying kitties in this campaign maybe you could post some information also on Aeroscale - more people would join for sure!

Fall 2008 would be fine for me. I will join with both an aircraft and a tank. The choices are almost endless.

Great initiative

I don't know if there's any model kit for the vehicles, but you can include "Bobcat", as for the small-sized construction vehicles company There's a couple of them in a near-by construction site I see every day.

:D good one, Emre! BTW - I want to buy some small digger for my son as soon as he would be big enough to play in the sand . With this kind of Bobcat machine he would be the King of the Sandbox

"King of the Sandbox"? With a Bobcat, he would be the Supreme Emperor of Sandboxes in all Poland, among kids his age, heh heh heee

That said, fall 2008 is good for me. I think I will go for one of my many Leopards, if I can find suitable references it might even be Turkish.

I'll probably do a Gepard Flakpanzer 38(t), as that is what I have in my stash and want to build soonest.

Unless I change my mind and do either the Tiger, Koenigstiger, or Sturmtiger that also reside in said stash...

I've found another vehicle I'd like to build for this campaign:

Panther Ausf. A from SS "Wiking" Division as seen near Siedlce, Poland in 1944. I think that camo scheme is great and worth painting .
I just have to convince my wife that I REALLY need another Panther ....

Looking forward to get started

Hi!
Ribbons are 50 x 20 pixels - they should be in GIF format and under 1kB
Banners are 468 x 60 pixels - format is not specified - jpgs are best I think (quality/size).

If you need any help with them just PM me. I'd be glad to help.

I am in. Several options it will probably be overload depending when it starts, but it is hard to say no to campaigns like this.

Banners are also nice! Could you make also another banner in style of the second one but with eye graphisc from the firs one?
