Now that is a bit on the long side! How do both kits compare with accurate scale drawings though?
The Airfix MiG-15 'GTI edition' does look a better jet, the 15 always looked way to stubby to me to. The Hobbyboss looks to be a safer bet in the long run though.

cool campaign

i am all signed up and i am gonna take a bash at the following, may have to source some decals as they are all yellow as this is the 1975 version...



cheers

I have an AirFix 1/72 scale Tornado would this work

Okay, I want to try this again with my 72nd scale Sopwith Pup which has a date of '73 on the back of the carded kit.

Okay? Still not opened!

Just enlisted, this will be fun. Thanks Jessie.

I think I may have found the ultimate Airfix II build. I was fondling plastic in my stash while I was watching the footy and was having a look at my 1/12 Airfix Blower Bentley and was wondering why it was so heavy. It is a large box etc with a spare electric motor and a tube of Airfix cement, and then I looked in one of the compartments and found a set of Airfix paints! How good is that, I will be able to build an Airfix kit with Airfix glue and Airfix paints, providing the paints are still OK that is..
Fingers crossed!
Cheers all

I am in with the 1/48 scale Hurricane, which if I read correctly was issued originally in 1979, and I have the 2005 re-boxing of the kit.

I remember it fondly, and by all accounts it's more accurate and easier to build than the Hasegawa kit.

Hi Jessica,

I have one of these, does it count? Not sure which edition I have

Yes, that easily counts; its first issue was 1976 and that's the one that matters. It'll be good to see it built

Complete with wing glove vanes that moved with the wings!
I remember saving my pennies for quite a while to buy that one.

Awesome. I'm a big fan of the F14 and this should be fun.

Just to remind people that Airfix II starts on October 1st. Should be a great session

Decisions, decisions.


I'm leaning towards the TBM or the F-5A, I might get lucky and actually finish one.....

Are we supposed to be off and running today??? Did I miss something?

Since this is an all-Kitmaker campaign, the official thread lives here in the "Modeling in General" forum.
Come on in and join the fun

Now that the official thread is up and running, I've asked Allen to lock this one.
