Ok straight off I admit that I have a lot of 'subject matter' I could contribute to this, but please hear me out first. Yes it's a 'race themed' Campaign idea and yes similar ones have been proposed before (but they seemed to be just restricted to automobiles which is obviously my own preferred genre). I see it encompassing anything that 'raced' in the past or is 'racing' now. So:
Drag boats - there were a few kits back in the day.
Reno & Pylon racers - definitely a few of them around.
Distance racers - Think DH88 and / or Macchi floatplanes.
Schneider racers - not too many but some.
Then there's a LOT of things with wheels:
Motorcycles - Tamiya & Italeri do so many
Trucks - RoG
Le Mans & Endurance cars - too many to list.
Drag Cars - All shapes and sizes from Top Fuel & Funnies to S/S street legals
GT, Touring & WTCC / WRC types - again far too many to list
NASCAR - my very favourite.
I would be open to driver / pilot and crew figures to accommodate our wonderful figure painters. the only group that this idea would 'discriminate against' is the dedicated AFV & armour builders, and I'm sorry about that. As I said at the top, It is an idea that is a LONG WAY inside of my personal comfort zone but I'm not going to apologise for that. Equally if folks queue up to tell me that this idea blows chunks that's fine too, I'm not going to throw my toys outta the pram or go-off in a sulk.
It could be a really colourful, inclusive and fun Campaign, at least please, have a think about it. Over to you guys.
