Would folks be interested in something around celebrity rides? @phantom_phanatic mentioned he’s going to try to do Roald Dahl’s hurricane which made me think of Ted Williams flying in Korea (I think he was John Glenn’s wingman at one point). I’m sure there’s a long list of people who were celebrities in some other field flying planes (or riding in them), riding in tanks, boats, etc…..
My idea is fairly vague so would welcome some fleshing out….
i have not done space but i may give it a try. love the original enterprise

I have an idea for 3 different campaigns
1. a zero campaign. i feel not much attention has been given to japanese pilots so the campaign would involve either japanese aces or a particular aircraft that was involved in an historic battle. example one of the aircraft/pilots that escorted admiral Yamamoto when he was shot down.
2. Butcherbird campaign. it would include any fw 190 from concept to last model produced
3. a P47 campaign. again any from concept to end of production. including post WWII and forign service.
I have kits for all three waiting for a reason to be built. I especially want to build the zero that was strafing too low at Pearl Harbor and crashed into the hospital.
Let me know what you all think
Joe
Yeah you can’t beat the original. So very different from other sci-fi designs of it’s day. Have to admit that I love the reimagining in Strange New Worlds.
I’ll put together a proposal in the campaigns thread in a week or so.
Any thoughts on one of my three proposed campaigns guys?
zero
fw 190
p 47
Joe
I’d make an attempt to join #2 or #3. Zero would be interesting but then I’d have to buy a kit, and the last thing I need right now is another model kit! 
Also interested in the Lockheed and X-planes topics mentioned earlier.
quite basic but maybe a sturmy campaign, they just look so goofy
I think I could find a way to join a Fw-190 campaign as I’m sure it’s the only aircraft I have in 6 different scales!
1/700, 1/350, 1/144, 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32
Including every 1/72 release by IBG of the Dora.
Oh do the Ta-152 count?
I would love to see a P-47 build. I have a conversion kit to make the XP-47H that I would love to build.

How about a recon aircraft campaign? Recon is one of the most important and very first uses of aircraft and there were a lot of planes designed or modified to do that job. I have a Tamiya Mosquito that keeps smiling at me as I walk by that stack of kits . . .
Paul
I’ll add my 2 cents, and as a newcomer, some of my ideas might have been done already, or might be off:
Really ordinary 5-ton trucks. How ordinary can you make a truck look?
I have a Tamiya M-16 in my stash, i’m in if you do. Been enjoying getting the Tamiya shake and bake kits done for these campaigns, got my mojo back with them
we got 2 for the fw 190 and two for the p47. anyone else interest in either one. would like to get a feel for one before i post a proposal
Joe
Not recon per se, but you might look at the Bird Dog campaign set to start in January.
I’g go for a P-47 campaign
This sounds like fun, I would like to build something for it.
Paul
If I may, I’d like to suggest a couple of campaigns that might be good for the coming year, but they’re more generic. Besides the Lockheed Martin one, which I think is good, you could do one about the Cold War or naval fighters. For both, it could be any era, any country.
How about a “Real Battlefield Drones and Robots campaign?” It can’t be Sci-Fi so no Star Wars’ C-3PO, R2D2, battle droids, ROBOTECH/Macross, TERMINATOR, RoboCop, or Gundam robots, and no Post-Apocalyptic robots.
It can be FPV battlefield drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, or unmanned underwater vehicles and has to be realistic. It can be from WW2 to modern times dealing with remotely-operated vehicles and robots and 3D-printing is allowed.
What about Barbarossa 85? All subjects depicting events in the first months of the conflict
