Welcome, Pam.  Those are some interesting kits you've got there.  I hope you'll enjoy the build, and I look forward to seeing some pics.
I've updated my list above to include my selection for Pam.

Hi Shaun and others that have voted so far.
My tally so far is:
La-7 with 2 votes
I-16 Type 24 with 2 votes
Bf 109F-2 with 1 vote
I'm still confused. Do the ladies get to vote for the other ladies or not?
Also, I'm having a hard time holing off on building one of these models as Oct. 1 seems a long way off! I'm passing the time building my first jet, a Hasegawa F-14 in 1/72. It is hard and so many parts that just don't fit exactly! At least it is giving me the opportunity to learn to re-scribe but the rivets are another problem.

Ok, so I am going to post my choices, hope I didn't miss anyone signed up yet.
Penny-A-1H Skyraider US Navy. I was in the Navy and think this is a cool subject. Did you see the move "Rescue Dawn"? He flies one of these before he is shot down.
Kelly-Flakpanzer Kugelblitz. I really like raisin kugel!
Terri-Sopwith Camel, Eduards. Hang on Snoopy.
Wendy- French Napoleonic caricature. I really like his face looks like a lot to work with.

Hi Gals, just clear some things up here . We can pick which model to build for each other for the contest . However , we can not vote for each other ( rule number 3 ) . Only the guys will be able to do this . I 'm sorry about the time frame , but I felt that it would have only be fair to give us enough time to enter and with this being summer most people are away . I'm kicking myself as well for it . I would like to start already as well . Be patient  young grass hoppers !

That's a very cool idea for a ribbon, Kelly...one thing to remember, is that the ribbon will have to be re-sized to a maximum of 50 x 50 pixels, with a 1000kb max size to be uploaded and used on the campaign page for awarding...sometimes detailed images turn into a glob of colors when re-sizing (from my own past failures!
 )...

Fantastic Kelly ! It's awesome ! I thank -you for your aid in this Campaign you play a big part of it , Thanks .
Well Ladies what do you think ? Kelly is really on to something here . Far better then what I would have turned up . Cartoon characters have played a huge roll in aviation through out the years , which it ties in with this Campaign nicely .

Germany also had at least one female pilot. She was a test pilot.  
  
They ( Military channel ) done a small piece on her when they were talking about Germany's proto-type aircraft.
