AaCee26 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think that we need clear geographical area specified now as well as what countries are included. Of the neutral countries at least Sweden and Finland had clearly part of the Cold War although the GB's current name discloses them.

IanHx Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Just off to photoshop some sidewinders on a Beagle Bassett pic...... Failing that, something Mig-ey. Or maybe even a Fishpot or a Fiddler Edited May 13, 2016 by IanHx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I did some digging around on USAFE fighter aircraft a few weeks ago, compiling a spreadsheet of aircraft, squadrons, bases & years of operation for the '80s GB subjects. While I was in there, I went ahead and grabbed most of the info I could find all the way back to the early '50s. The list is by no means all inclusive...but I've got a majority of the squadrons covered that were stationed there for 6 months or better. I don't have many of the units that only deployed for a couple months or less. My listing was just a compilation from info I found scattered about Wikipedia. Most of the heavies from TAC & SAC tended to rotate through on a regular basis, as such I haven't had time to try to compile those guys. Anywho, the list is as follows: USAFE fighter aircraft deployed/stationed in European theatre between 1970-79 F-4C/D/E F-5 (aggressor squadron) F-15A (Cs weren't delivered until 1980) F-100 F-111E/F RF-4C RF-101C A-10 Edited May 12, 2016 by helios16v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Oooerrr missus, this might be a chance for a green Lightning. I'll be up for it. Sometime in 2018 I imagine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just off to photoshop some sidewinders on a Beagle Bassett pic...... Failing that, something Mig-ey. Or maybe even a Fishpot or a Fiddler I dread to think what would happen to a Beagle Bassett upon launching a Sidewinder Liking the sound of a Fishpot or Fiddler in particular though. Oooerrr missus, this might be a chance for a green Lightning. I'll be up for it. Sometime in 2018 I imagine? Oh yes!

Lex77 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Sign me up. Probably a Belgian F-104. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure that the Airfix Harrier GR1 will be an eligible subject - and I've got two of those in the stash. That's without going through the stash with a fine tooth comb. Count me in. EDITed following stash investigation: One Harrier offers two eligible schemes, the other pre-dates this GB. There are other offerings like Lightning, Gannet, and Sea Vixen - were those last 2 really operating during the 70s? AND again, The Lightning is a virtual copy of a T4 I built in 48th - so not going to happen. Gannet remains a possibility, as does the 899NAS SeaVixen.

A Harrier GR.1 or two would be most lovely Pretty near sure the Gannet was still in service then but not sure about the Vixen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Oh yes! Silver or camouflage? Probably camouflage but a silver one is nice aswell. Well got some time to think about that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Probably camouflage but a silver one is nice aswell. Well got some time to think about that! It will make a nice companion for your Greek one you've just done for the 80's NATO/WARPAC GB. You never know I might build another myself, though I am leaning towards a Phantom at the minute, probably USAF or Spanish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
