Hi Guy,Quoted TextOK, Calling this one done. Great kit, and went together well!

Fantastic-looking builds, everyone!
Short of any last ditch extension request, this campaign will wrap up tomorrow. As a reminder, if you don't have a photo of your completed build in the campaign gallery yet, please do it post haste (get it? post...)
I have to say, you guys have really made this a fun campaign, and I'm very pleased with how my very first campaign has turned out--thanks entirely to all of you.
Now think movie trailers:
(Cue voiceover): "In a world where airpower dominates the battlefield, a small band of unlikely heroes have gathered to make a stand and fight back against the air threat. And this time they're serious..." Kitmaker films presents an Armorama production: Flak you Two: The Flak is Back! Coming this Summer to a workbench near you.
The concept will be pretty much the same as 'What the Flak?' only this time I want to see if we can get anyone from the other networks to join in by opening it up to include ships designed for air defense (e.g.: Aegis) and because paybacks are an ex-wife with an attitude, SEAD/DEAD aircraft (e.g.: Wild Weasels). Probably let this one run for 9-12 months to give the the ship-builders and jet-jocks time.
What do you think?

Mark
All that sounds great! A longer time-line does of course help those who will need more time (and allow us procrastinators more time to fall into!
) to complete - and ships and planes may need some time...
I'll sign up for it whatever the details are, as I really want to get some flak thing done and I really blew it on this now-completed campaign!
Count me in!

Here are my finished photos of the German Sd Kfz 7/2 halftrack with a 3.7cm FlaK 43 Auf Selbstfahrlatette.
The same photos are in the Campaign Gallery.
I continue to be amazed by the truly talented builders in these campaigns.
Thanks,
Tom

Jan, Bob: Great work!
Cracked me up!
Bring it on! I'm not a fan of long-lasting campaigns but I can see how the ship builders would need more time to finish. The aircraft part is also a nice idea. I'd say, let's see how well this would work out.
Thanks for the great campaign, by the way!

Hey, Rob. Sorry if I jumped the gun on you. I was looking at my clock and got the impression everyone was into the 8th now (sometimes living this side of the IDL is a real pain). Let me know when you've got your photos posted and I'll make sure you get your ribbon.

‘What the Flak’ gallery has got to be one of the best around — fantastic builds!
I’ve been following this campaign from the onset. Unfortunately, I was unable to enlist during its run. If there’s a ‘Flak You Two’ campaign, count me in this time!

Quite right, Tom, and my apologies. It does look like I managed to miss you when I made my list of completed builds. I have rectified that error.

@Rob and Tom S,
Sorry. I checked my time zone clock, and I thought it was telling me everyone was into the 8th. Let me know as soon as your photos are in the gallery and I'll make sure you get your award.
