PhantomBigStu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 could well end up being over ambitions with this one but my heart (if not my brain and wallets) going for a Trumpy Su24, no clue what I'd do as a NATO subject, probably will come down to what I have in the mini-stash or whatever I see cheap on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntPhillips Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Having disposed of a lot of my non-FAA stash, I'm a bit short of suitable kits, although I've got a 1/48 Airfix Jaguar and an Academy MiG-21MF that would fit the bill, although I'll have to find suitable decals for the MiG as my kit doesn't have any.

jrlx Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 This GB is very interesting. I'd be willing to participate with a jet but I have to check my stash if I have a suitable one. A German F-4F (Revell 1/72) comes to mind but I have to check the decals. I also have Italeri's 1/72 Mig 29A, as it appeared in Farnborough air show in 1988. Would this one be eligible for the GB?

Knight_Flyer Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Two in mind, either a MiG-23 or MiG-31. Quite liked the look of those planes. Edited December 4, 2015 by Knight_Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Ok chaps! Well we haven't gotten down the the nitty gritty bits (so it is subject to slight changes) yet but the build basically will be open to military equipment from 1980 to 1989 that was based/to be used in a European conflict. NATO vs Warsaw Pact, so if you're choice isn't in that lot then it's not eligible. Soviet and US Pacific fleet stuff really shouldn't be included either. They must have been operational, so sorry I don't think you could really include any prototypes or Whiffs. But as far as choices go, there's such a huge range of equipment to choose from I think no matter what type of modelling you're into (Ships, AFV's, Figurines, Aircraft) you're bound it find something cool for the GB.

robw_uk Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) who will confirm a build? Czech BTR-60 PU (Trumpy kit) is the one I am thinking of..... wont buy it unless i get confirmation its eligible (I think it would be but) Edited December 5, 2015 by robw_uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to see one of these in the GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I know I said that I'd do a Jag, Hunter or something but there is part of me saying that I should 'defect' as it were and build something proletarian instead.

Blastvader Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I fancy doing one of Eduard's MiG 21's but I have no idea which one as I'm not particularly well up on the subject.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Okay given that France left NATO in 1966 and didn't rejoin till 2009 does that mean that any French aircraft/tank/ship has to be depicted before 1966 or after 2009 even though France had an understanding that although they were not 'in NATO' they would be there in a time of crisis? The hosts ruling would be most welcome so I can plan my build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll contact my LMS who carry (or can special order) the whole Eduard range at very reasonable prices. Also your 21 was my inspiration in this. I quite fancy the 21R to be honest. Hopefully the box already gas suitable decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hello, I have been completely mystified by the "Red storm rising GB" in the calendar until realising that it was previously known NATO/Warsaw Pact 1980's. Now I realise! I had hoped to do the RV models MiG 21 Michen drone for this but I don't see it in the list of MiG-21s above. Would it be OK?

I'm happy to see French machines from the 80s within this GB and have a recollection that France was mentioned earlier on in the thread to this end. Paul, Rich, what say thee?

Giorgio N Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Actually France never left the Alliance and always remained part of NATO. They only withdrew from the integrated military command and demanded that any non French unit left the Country. This meant that France always obliged to the mutual defence duties although the official view was that this would have been done in whatever way the French government considered appropriate. In reality there were always secret agreements on the role of French forces within the integrated command and had the Cold War turned "hot" France would have reacted immediately together with the other members 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
