I was about to submit this one and thought about what to title this campaign?

Do we want to call it Israeli campaign? I thought about earthier "Sons of David" or " Sands of Israel"? what do you all think? any other suggestions are welcome?

Anything is fine with me, as long as the ribbon is the flag of Israel

OK, at the risk of campaign overload, I will probably do this one. No specific topic yet, but leaning toward an IDF MUTT/jeep or somthing similar.
Like Jeremy, I support the ribbon incorporating the Israeli flag. Either title works for me too.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Gentlemen,
All right....we're off and running ! I just signed up and doubled the enlistees ! I have no doubt it should be an interesting campaign. I haven't figured out yet what I'll do, but we have plenty of time.

OK Folks, time to get signed up and start the planning........Bruce

Can't believe I missed this one! I am absolutely, positively on board!

Now the only issue is: what to build? I've got a bunch of Israeli AF and armor subjects from '48 to today. Hmm... I'll keep an eye on the list and see if there are holes.

Thanks for the campaign Scott! Looking forward to it!

Scott,

I’m campaign overload . . . but I just can’t pass this one up so I’m in. I’ll be putting together a Braille scale Super Sherman!

Excellent looking campaign ribbon. Oh! Is there a conflict between the listed start and finish dates on the overview section and rules and regs part of the same campaign enlisting page?

Hey everyone, just throwing this out here for a little flavor:



Just finished it for the Spitfire campaign on AeroScale. It's the Pacific Coast 1/32 Spitfire IX done up as Israel's first Spitfire, using Skys Decals and Alex Yofe's book on Spits in IAF service (plus a conversation with him. Nice guy!)

Hope it helps to keep the mood right!

Michael ..... Nice Spitfire.

Excellent Campaign idea! ...... count me in with either a Shot Kal or a Merkava II, ...mind you I really like the design of the current Israeli Navy's patrol ships/boats .... shame you can't get kits of those!

I signed up,im really looking forward to it.
I have a Ma'gach 7c conversion in my stash,but it would take me more than 6 months to finish it.
So im going to go either with Tamiya's ford mutt and legend Orev conversion,or a simple figure.

Kind regards,Sven.

Good to have you on board Sven, I have thought about building some of those legend kits but they are out of my prise range at the moment.

Hello Scott,in the end i will be building 1/72 IDF tow humwee.
CMK's conversion and wheels are on sale on hlj.com 50%.
And i think i will be a lot easier then making the Ma'gach 7c.
So im in with the Humwee.

Kind regards,Sven.
