Amazing!

I never thought that a campaign in MSW could be approved in less than 24 hours
Thanks to all that enlisted, and as I said before: the more, the merrier (or more colorful - take your pick!)

So, for now (but we'll never know) my intentions and focus are directed to HMS Biter, 1/700 resin model by L'Arsenal (bought in the same day as Peter's but he has his now published in a MOD - shame on me!!!).
Just have to figure out a good way of portraying it!

Ahoy Camouflage Campaign entrants!

Keep in mind that we have here in our waters a very talented individual that offers some really fine camo-scheme paint masks that will definitely make the job easier (tested and proved!) for your campaign builds...take a look at Gator's Mask and More website, see what Ken has to offer as far as stock masks, and also, he will custom make any special pattern that you may be wishing to reproduce...great products, and will definitely make the task easier, and a cleaner looking finished product!

And while your placing an order for your mask, I would give the Gator Grip glue a click also...if you use PE, you need to try this product out!

Cheers,
~Gunny

I'll throw in with my resin Scharnhorst need to get metal AA barrels

Hi,
I am intenting to build my first naval model EVER, and I've chosen Revells 1/144 U-boot Type VII C for that duty. Planning to do some U-boot from fatal mediterranean area.

Tuomas

Hello,

I've rolled with Hasegawa's 1/700 Heianmaru. Ending time encouraged

This will be my entry, the 700th sub tender Chogei from PitRoad. The following colourized photo shows her painted wave crest and torpedo tubes, I'll dress her up with one or two subs moored alongside. I'l have to do some research and see what subs I can use.

Photo for discussion purposes only

Frank

Frank,
Thats a nice looking subject.


I was looking at that same tender for the Divine Waterline Campaign.

I will have to watch your build for ideas.

Hi Jim,

My first choice for this campaign would of been the new 350th Akitsushima Seaplane Tender, but according to Dade, it's not for sale outside of Japan,.... shame,... I'd buy it in a snap.

Frank

Frank,

Now that would be a sweet build! I am not sure what I will build for this one.

I'm enlisting with a German torpedo boat ('Elbing' type - maybe T-23) in 1/400 from Heller.

Cheers
João

hello all,
got all of the PE for my USS Buchanan that the manufacture put out.i am ready yo go,except for the 5" metal guns.still looking for them.
cheers,
Bruce

I think I found my projected target for this campaign, IJN Mutsuki. The colors on some references are black and white with a large 20 on the bow. Now I only have to decide, do I get the regular kit or the one with the extras from Hobby Search Japan.


BTW...thanks Combined Fleet for the picture!

You can't beat the Great War (1914-18) for wild camo patterns.

I'm thinking of USS Agamemnon and HMS Furious (c.1918) for this campaign....okay, maybe the WWII Nelson, too.

--Karl

Hello Jim,

Pitroad has a nice Mutsuki with p.e. set included if you did not picked Hasegawa's yet. I do not know about which one is much more accurate Sometimes I have reading posts that Pitroad models has overscaled details and some wrong details on destroyers but I do not know in detail.

Anyway I love Pitroad

Regards
Serhan

I have my tubes sighted on a victim ...the HMS Nelson, scale yet to be determined

I will probably do Tamiya's USS Cushing DD-797 but I may end up doing Dragon's USS San Diego CL-53. I have to finish my Scharnhorst first though

Serhan,

I like Pit Road ships as well. That happens to be the version of Mutsuki I picked up. I think what I like about the Pit Road ships is they are very good bases to add onto. So, we shall see when it finally gets here.

I can see the campaign allows 1/35, but I am not sure that the land wasser schlepper would be allowed? Definitely camouflaged and has a hull and propeller, but also has tracks

The LWS was originally planned for the Gator navy campaign, but there I will enter with the hobby boss AAV-7.

Could anybody approve or disapprove of the LWS for this campaign?

I believe Rui has final say on this since he is the campaign leader. I don't want to speak for him, but it is camoflauged and it is a boat.

Hi Jesper

Sorry for the late reply!
Although it is a camouflaged vehicle and it runs in the water... it is not a ship
I am sorry about this, but it is the raw true

This Campaign is about camouflaged ships.

Cheers and pick something out of your stash - I know that some possibilities are there hiding
