Nobby57 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Nice one Procopius; I'm sure we'll have a very interesting GB...the numbers are 'swelling' at a slow but I'm sure, perfectly normal pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shermaniac Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think it's great to commemorate the 'smaller' conflicts so, please count me in for this one. It'll give me the excuse to finally start that AFV Club Centurion and maybe some early Israeli stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Currently building my second Eduard Mig-15 for the Korean War GB. I really hope this GB goes ahead so I can build another Mig-15... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've got a number of Hunters in waiting, myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My record on GBs is lousy but with enough warning & propitious circumstances I might just manage this. Italeri Aeronavale F4U-7 sounds like the go to me. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 hmm I'm thinking about an Israeli Meteor, something like a NF.13. Not sure who makes them or conversions. But a NF Meteor would fit nicely with the rest of my nightfighters.......does someone make a 1/48 version???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Classic Airframes does one in 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just like Procopius said. You will need a Classic Airframes one. It's a nice kit. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterfriend Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I was just in Paris and while visiting the Air and Space museum out in the suburbs I saw this, which looked very interesting. It's in French but has some great pics and colour profiles. Unfortunately my stupid American credit card (they don't have chip and pin, don't get me started) wouldn't work and I didn't have the cash to get it. I did find their website though and they have the second part up which deals with the Aeronavale. Nearer the time I may have to get one or both! http://www.revue-icare.com/ Cheers Segan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby57 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Right...I've finally decided what I'd like to build. Drawing up the plans now and it's something I never ever thought I'd build...muahahah! You'll just have to wait and see, but I'll need plenty of photos of deck crew and the 'accelerator'/ catapult. In 1/48th scale this time, and seriously...I didn't know this type ever took part, but I do now. I'm definitely in and no going back. Now clock, dear clock...please don't speed up too much, or should I say 'extractum digit Nobby, when the time comes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I might even be able to have a go by 2015, I'll be rather put out if I can't! .... so put me down and have quite a suez stash.... lets see, Seahawk, Wyvern, Hunter, Venom, Sea Venom, NF Meteor, AEW Skyraider, F84F, F4U-7, Ouragan, Mystere IV, Mig-15..... the Israeli's used Mustangs, Harvard's, Mosquito's, Piper Cub, Whirlwind helicopters [as did the FAA] ...oh I have those as well.....and others I'd not planned as Suez types [Vampire, Canberra] IIRC the Aeronavale has some AEW Avengers? This may be of interest to folks here, my copy not to hand http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wings-Over-Suez-Authoritative-Operations/dp/1904943551 has a good amount of interesting photos[nearly all the above] , but fairly small size, and some other potential projects, REAF Halifax anyone? Worth getting if you want details on the operations and history. cheers T Edited as a Skyhawk is not a Seahawk... though one would look good in Suez Stripes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I now have a AC 1/48 Meteor NF13 read for this one if it gets up, else it'll go the the STGB, though a Israeli Mozzie would be nice as well....or a Wyvern! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Right I'm in. Not sure what to build yet though. Most likely it'll have wings and stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 for those seeking some inspiration, have a look here, as there's lots to choose from. Suez Crisis, 1956: The War of Stripes. By Tom Cooper http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_257.shtml has Airforces involved, with aircraft types used, units, details of serials, camouflage and markings and profiles. cheers T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cooper Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Me! Me! Me! Wyvern in 1/72. F4U-7 in 1/48. Edit: Egyptian Vampires, Meteors and Mig-15s... how much choice?!?!? Not to forget (Egyptian) Spitfires (F.Mk. 22s), Furies... I think even Halifaxes were still operational as of 1956... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, half of Arab MiGs, Volume 1 - is dealing with the Suez Crisis too. (That said, 'much more is to follow' - in 2016, of course.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
