Col. Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 After the success of the 80s NATO Vs Warsaw Pact in Europe GB and the fun we're currently having in the 70s edition now seems a good time to raise the possibility of following up with the 60s edition. So, who's up for it? 1, Col. 2, helios16v 3, Ale85 4, modelling minion 5, DAG058 6, Dave_R 7, Jabba 8, Wez 9, wimbledon99 10, franky boy 11, PhantomBigStu 12, Arniec 13, vppelt68 14, IanHx 15, SoftScience 16, mirageiv 17, RPM2 18, bianfuxia 19, Lex77 20, At Sea 21, Colinchipmunkfan 22, Valkyrie 23, Creepy Pete 24, Hewy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Fun fact... Due to a change in France's nuclear weapon policies in 1960, French airbases saw the withdrawal of USAFE aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Most of the aircraft were dispersed to airbases in the UK & Germany. 3 squadrons of F-100Ds (492d, 493d, 494th TFS) that were stationed at Chaumont-Semoutiers AB in France transferred to RAF Lakenheath. There would be a further withdrawal of USAFE aircraft (primarily recon birds) in 1966 following the withdrawal of France as an active participant in NATO command. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Some USAFE birds in Europe in the 1960s: - F-4C/D/E Phantom II - F-86D Sabre Dog - F-100D Super Sabre - F-102 Delta Dagger - F-104A Starfighter - F-105 Thud - RB/EB-66 Destroyer - RF-101C Voodoo - RF-4C Phantom II The list is by no means all inclusive (no heavies obviously), just most of the main players in the fighter/attack/recon roles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was leaning towards a F-100.....but I just discovered yesterday my Eduard A-4 kit has the correct decals for VA-72 on the 1964 Med cruise. And I keep looking at the EB/RB-66.....because one of those would just be cool. Or an RF-101... Or... Or... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't know if I can wait until 2022 for the '90s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I rephrase my suggestion: 2017 the -70's 2018 the -60's 2019 the -50's 2020 the -90´s 2021 2000-2009 (the -00´s ???) 2022 the -10´s That´ll give the industry more time to produce stuff for the latest era, and helios the multivalve won´t have to wait that long for the -90´s Poor Enzo... the moment he finds out we´ve scheduled a group build for the next five years V-P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
