Thanks Mucker, be good to have you along on this GB too, just Googled Armee de L'Air DC-8-72F and came up with this - very attractive scheme. Which kit will you be using?

fatfingers Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 One of these from me. Its French and also rather fancy! This may be done in UN markings for a vehicle from the Lebanon a few years back. Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC_Rus Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Dear friends. I have a desire to participate in the GB model ATR-72 in 1/144 scale. ATR-72 is produced by the company "Avions de Transport Regional", belongs to France and Italy. The aircraft to be in the livery UTair (Russia) I can participate?

ATR-72 is produced by the company "Avions de Transport Regional", belongs to France and Italy. The aircraft to be in the livery UTair (Russia) I can participate? Welcome to the GB. TBH, I never realised that the ATR-42/ATR-72 were Franco-Italian, I thought they were just a French product, you learn something new every day. I've consulted with my partner in crime (Enzo), and we think this qualifies as the company headquarters is in France - so we'd love to see your UTair ATR-72, will it be in the colour scheme with the flowers on the fin?

AC_Rus Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Thank you. Will build the aircraft, number VQ-BLN. It is on it, I flew in 2013. Edited January 2, 2015 by AC_Rus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That's a very smart and quite retro scheme. Welcome to the GB, AC_Rus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm still undecided... I have the usual complement of Mirages, various types, some of them in quite striking Tiger Meet markings, an old Heller Alouette III, sundry bits of Froggie armour and one or two F1 cars as well. We'll see what strikes my (French) fancy when the time arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If only Enzo, if only... I need to meet a rich woman who will keep me in the style to which I would like to become accustomed, and then I'll have lots of free modelling time. Work does take up so much time.

Robert Stuart Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I might be tempted by this fellow ... He's a demi-rond (low relief) figure of a Napoleonic French hussar - or maybe a chasseur-a-cheval - made, I think, by Metal Models The reverse ... Showing the depth of the horse (rider similar) Edited January 3, 2015 by Robert Stuart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Maybe this one could be interesting as well Patrick Too be honest being an ex member of 51 Sqn, I would love to make one of these, as I did actually see one whilst in the gulf region, but I can never find markings or what is actually required for the conversion.

AngstROM Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Mon Dieu! This guy has totally nailed what I want to do -his is in 1/72, and looks awesome: http://aviapassionmaquette.free.fr/Aviapassion%20Maquette%20montage%20SUPER%20ETENDARD.html Mine will be in 1/48, and...won't have folded wings!

Robert Stuart Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest ... I'll leave the figure with a shako, they tended to be more colourful. The colpack (aka busby), would suggest an elite company, or, maybe, a guards chasseur-a-cheval A selection of headgear ... http://www.turnerlaughlin.com/img/tlcatalogue.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
