There are many aspects of this hobby
that make it fun for modellers and for myself group builds are one of the best.
It’s on Aeroscale that I first starting joining in on group builds and found
myself addicted to the idea of them.
On Aeroscale group builds are known as
campaigns and they come with some site-specific unique features. Every campaign
comes with a ribbon, a small graphic that gets appended to your profile after
you successfully complete an entry. In this manner you are able to track the
campaigns you have participated in and proudly display the ribbons as small
trophies alongside your work.
Of course, like any group build, the
Aeroscale campaigns are fun, full of great builds and informative tips and
tricks. This is what really shines about a group build, it takes what could be
an often solitary hobby and turns in into a community effort.
On this page I’m displaying the ribbons
I’ve acquired from finishing campaigns on Aeroscale. The graphic links back to
Aeroscale, either the campaigns build log or the photo feature that is assembled
shortly after the campaign wraps up. I’ll also include a link to the build
articles on this blog of the aircraft I entered in to each
campaign.
Aerial Screw Campaign:
This campaign was
dedicated entirely to the workhorse that is the helicopter.
With it being
my first helicopter build I chose one of my favourites, the AH-1 Cobra
Gunship.
You can find the build articles here.

Anti-Shipping Campaign:
This campaign was
dedicated to those aircraft fitted out for attacking enemy shipping.
This
was also the first campaign I finished on Aeroscale. I built a Blackburn
Buccaneer for the campaign and fell in love with both the aircraft and the
concept of anti-shipping missions.
The build articles can be found here.

Hanger Queen Campaign:
Every modeller has a
few unfinished builds sitting on a shelf somewhere, neglected.
This
campaign offered modellers the opportunity to finish these ‘Hanger
Queens.’
I finished an A-37B Dragonfly for the campaign as it was
unfinished from a previous campaign whose deadline I missed.
The build
articles can be found here.
