I really need to finish more kits I've started before I enter any new campaigns, but I'll sure try. One action that isn't mentioned here, but should qualify, is the British attack on Mers-el-Kebir, Oran, Algeria. It's not a pretty moment in RN history, but it was when the British sank quite a few French ships to prevent them from falling into German hands.

If I were to enter this campaign I'd consider doing the 1/600 Airfix HMS Hood I have in the stash, to show the flagship of this attack.

Did NC or Washington shw up for this? ONly ship I have otherwise I'll have to do a tank or half-track. I've got Meow campaign that I'm runnng simultaneously, probally do the Dragon initial Tiger in Russian. I have a DAK tiger 1 in stash as well as the Pzr IV E

EDIT: Oh I'm briliant....I've got the Jerimaih Obrien....a Liberty ship (smiley face)

Thanks for joining, lads.

Quite honestly I have no idea what I'm building for this Operation yet... I'd like to say I'll do an entry for each genre - but yeah right!!!! :-) :-) :-)
