This is a change. As is, the description does not mention aircraft or ships. I will change the campaign page but you really should have specified this at the start.

Great idea for a campaign!
I'd like to join and build a Tamiya French Tankette with supplies. I've been having my eye on that nice little kit for a while now...

Glad to have you aboard Occam
I was really hoping they were able to get the site back online before we kick- off, and everything looks great! We're about 3 weeks away from cutting plastic !!!
That HUGE MAZ box is taking up too much room!!

Just enlisted in this one. I plan on an AFV M49A2C Fuel Tanker to start with with the Eduard PE set. I've been wanting to do this one for a while now. Glad I came across this GB. Don M.

I'm in with a Fitter. Through years of research, I can find almost any model at a reasonable price. Been wanting to build one of these for a while and this seems like the perfect opportunity.

cool choice Matt- you always seem to pick the unique kits! The Fitter is a very interesting kit. Never thought the M113 was so versatile.

Hi all,
I think I'll go with a AMX30D French ARV. Was in my stash since too long and it's time to put it in the light

Great to have you along for the build Olivier, this campaign seems to be home for many unbuilt kits!

This gives me a reason to build the BVM Husky. Though I am tempted to use the resin on the new Trumpeter Grizzly rather than convert the Italeri LAV.

A Trojan would be amazing!! I was going to build one for that books, but, references at the time were hard to come by, and I was under a tight deadline; so the Falcon II took its place.
I just read that Ambulances are allowed..I may have to reconsider what I'll build for this campaign. I've been itching to do a 5/4 ton box amb for a long time.
