Black Knight Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'd be up for it except I'd probably just Russian and never Finnish a model. I'd need to Czech out what I have in the stash. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 There were no tanks and heavy bombers in 1812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Interesting idea but a shame to limit it to WW2 when the Patriotic War of 1812 was such an important point in European history. Anthony. The Russians often refer to the eastern front of WW2 as the Great Patriotic war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shermaniac Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Looks interesting, I have a few items which may contribute to the GB Please add me to your list I'd be up for it except I'd probably just Russian and never Finnish a model. I'd need to Czech out what I have in the stash. AND, If you're Hungary why not have an Italian for lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 From Wikipedia The term Great Patriotic War is used in Russia and some other former republics of the Soviet Union to describe the period from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945 in the many fronts of the eastern campaign of World War II between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany with its allies. Just my take 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) The Great Patriotic War, or Velikoiy Otechestvennoiy Voiyni, as transliterated from Russian, does indeed refer to the conflict between Nazi Germany (and allies) and the Soviet Union, which took place between June 22, 1941 and May 9, 1945, as mentioned above. It does not include the Manchurian campaign against the Japanese Kwantung Army in August of 1945. Regarding the build, count me in! I only have about 100 or so GPW aircraft, from all sides, that I could build (or finish, in some cases). Regards, Jason P.S. The German Allies would include the Croatians, Finnish (although they preferred to be called "co-belligerents", not "allies"), Hungarians, Italians, Romanians, and Slovakians. But not the Bulgarians, who never declared war on the Soviet Union, and confined their fighting to the Balkans, where they operated against Greek and Yugoslavian partisans. Spain, although officially neutral during the Second World War, sent a division of volunteers, called the Azul Division, to the Eastern Front.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 In a word.....Yes! I'd prefer it to be a specific GPW build.....Next year being the 70th anniversary of the end and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastvader Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well I've got a Revell He-111 H-6 that I've bought an Eduard Big Ed set for and probably won't be confident enough to tackle until this time next year.

Giorgio N Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Missed this when first proposed, I'd be interested too ! I've been planning an Eastern Front Mc.202 with yellow bands for a while, could be tan excuse to finally build one Edited September 2, 2014 by Giorgio N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPReggie Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well I am relatively new to all this, but I have been thinking of doing a Russian aircraft, after playing the IL2 simulator for 13 years I have spent a lot of time on the Russian Front and have seen the myriad of aircraft and cool markings available. Something like this would probably definately push me into making something Russian So I would be interested definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 hmmmm I know I'll regret this but add me in. Not sure what it would be but probably a 109, have a plan to build Hartmanns 109 and his F-86 (his F-86 was my second choice for the Sabre STGB), would make a nice pairing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) This sounds interesting, I've been thinking of Russian armour for a while, I already have some ideas of what to build. Edited October 8, 2014 by Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
