Whoohoo even the first one who has enlisted :-)

So who can tell me what kit would be nice for a WW2 aircraft carrier......let's say the ship may be 60 cm long max (don't know much about scale and lenght in warships)

Martin

D'oh! Martin!

Ok..so I'm #2...

Hornet...Here I come!

*Ride of the Valkyries Plays in Background*



See ya there!

I wasn't even #2...I was 4!

Good thing it's Margarita Night

Ok, I'm in. I don't know what I'll be building. I know what I'd LIKE to build, the 1/350 Lexington, but I can't afford it and it's too big. I'll probably pick up one of those Revell USS Intrepid kits at Hobby Lobby next time they have a half off sale.

Howdy Martin!
Well here goes, in 1/542 scale Revell Germany has there Midway set and should be a good one. It gives you the option to build either the Enterprise, Yorktown or the Hornet. Nichimo and Hasegawa make 1/550 and 1/450 IJN WW-2 carriers.
And in 1/700 scale if you want to build that small, You have a multitude to choose from!
All the others in the 1/450 to 1/570 scale are all modern carriers.

HTH,

Garry

I'm in! Here we go again. This ought to be a real learning experience. Garry I'm going to be leaning on you for this build too! LOL Wait till Dreadnoughts starts. The pointy end is the front right? LOL

Ok Scott, I got the point, I get your drift! If the idea floats! :-) Now we are making headway! :-) :-) :-)

No problem mate, thats what a campaign is all about! Modelers helping modelers out with there builds. Besides, I have big shoulders!

Welcome aboard Scott!

Garry

Ok mates, to expand the subject matter I have also included large scale flight deck diorama's to this campaign and invited the aircraft modeling friends to participate. This could add a lot of new content and new possibilities to the campaign!

So please enlist. Your campaign needs you!

Cheers,

Garry
