trickyrich Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This was an interesting idea that was put to me to be included in another GB proposal, but I found it interesting enough that it should have it's own thread/GB. This would cover all captured equipment that was claimed by the victor or just "obtained" either in battle of mistakenly fell into the oppositions hands. Of course it must be factual, so no Whif's, but that's it. Choices as really too many to list, besides the obvious WWII stuff. What do you think? We can adjust the GB as we go or can add something else to it if anyone has an idea that would fit in with this. ok I'll start a list as there looks to be some interest in this one. 1, trickyrich - host 2, LDSModeller 3, Corsairfoxfouruncle 4, modelling minion 5, Robert Stuart 6, Brad 7, SleeperService 8, Arniec 9, rio 10, zebra 11, Botan 12, Col. 13, Mottlemaster 14, wayne 0 15, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi Rich, I'd be in, as New Zealand obtained a number of "War Prizes", namely: Me 109E (Battle of Britain - gift from Britain) Aichi Jake Float plane A6M3 Zero - currently residing in Auckland War Memorial Museum Interestingly (years ago now) as a young Air cadet I went to RNZAF Woodbourne, and they had machinery such as lathes/metal guillotines and others that had been "Liberated" from the German industrial might at the end of WWII.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hello Rich count me in plenty of stuff to pick from. Allies/Axis faling into opposite hands. However i am thinking of the surrenderd Mig-15 in Operation Moolah. The korean war U.S. offer of $100,000.00 for an intact Mig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I think this is a great idea! There are some very interesting examples of captured equipment out there, always fancied doing a J2M Raiden in the ATAIU markings, think I've even got the markings for it somewhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Oh, there's a HUGE choice of subjects here ... scope for ancient figures (tropaion ... a new word for me), Napoleonic prize ships, through WWI and WWII to the Arab Israeli wars. Yes! Sgt Ewart, Scots Greys capturing a French standard at the Battle of Waterloo p.s. I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am interested too. With what?! I have no idea, but will come with something up from the stash. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 welcome along, when you think about it there are a huge range of choices and probably lots you didn't think about or know. The AFV lots could have a field day with amount of choices they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does equipment interned and used in neutral/third party country count, for example German and US aircraft which landed in Switzerland or Sweden?

That's a great example and they would be included, same for any aircraft/vehicle that accidentally landed or drove into the wrong place. If they were re-marked and used/tested they would be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
