Sorry, nothing but WWII and some Poor aircraft. :mg: Shoot away with ideas though, I could use some.

Ooooh now here's an invitation gang! :D You thinking east or west? Plenty mix of the old and new going about on either side during the era. For the east we have the MiG-21 still around in various versions as well as the -23/27 series and the new -29 while Sukhoi had the -27 arriving on scene to keep the various -17 series machines and the -25 company. Helicopters were a good mix as well; Mi-24/25, -8/17/18 perhaps? Heading west, as Cindy Lauper once sang, and we've got the ubiquitous F-4 Phantom as well as the F-5 still in service along side the various 'Teen' fighters of F-14/15/16/18 while some of the Century Series are still around by way of the F-104/106/111 and not forgetting the -117. Here in the UK we've got a variety of the old and new as well in the air.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Well, keep the ideas coming!!!

I've thrown out a list of potential aircraft subjects but do you want us to continue on that theme or expand on the AFV or ship subjects? Or perhaps a figure? Not had one of those in the GB series yet :hmmm:

I’m going to build a Mercedes 1628 artic head unit. I was based in Holland 1997-2000 on a NATO unit driving these. In fact I passed my artic test on them. They were part on a NATO deployable HQ.  Everything looks cool in a camo wrap, & a Mercedes tractor unit in NATO camo rocks.

at the moment there's a very good chance that all 8 GB's that have the numbers are going to go through to next years build. I'm currently looking at 6 build, 2 of which will be 1/32nd monsters!!!! (Tornado and Skyraider!!!) Better hope the spacing between these build is substantial!

I'm sure Enzo the Great will do his best to sort us out with a well-spaced calendar :)  At least I hope he does so we can watch you tackle those two cool projects :D

How about  NATO vs Putin GB??

For this GB "NATO vs Putin GB" not the best name,

best name "Bees vs honey GB", this is more true, yeppp.

That would be a "current" GB then,  no?

2010-2019....

Hopefully this vs. Putin ends soon... :(

Not too useful having another Cold War... (better than a hot one obviously.....) 

Dear exdraken,

I'm just wondering how you think how this conflict should end?

Hmm, I doubt we'll ever seen a true end to the West/East posturing, it has too great a political value for both sides :( 

What do You mean by the East and what do You mean by the West?

Just looking at my build options for 2020. Did this not make the list (or am I missing something)?!?! 😱

No it didn't make it, You can build your build here.

I've taken part in each of these NATO v Warsaw Pact Europe GBs - and as usual I'm struggling to find something.

This time I've got a Revell Tornado GR1, with decals for 1998 - I'm in.

Also a Sword Harrier T4/N (1992),

Possibly others will be added nearer the time.

 

Nothing has changed as of Jan 2020, so continue to count on my support.

I'd be delighted to see your Tornado or Harrier in the They Also Served year-long event :)

I think our 'NATO v Warsaw Pact Europe GB' get's automatic entry into 2021 under the original title.

Don't forget you can build your Tornado in the Tornado STGB in September 2020

I have a pair of Italeri (ex-Bilek) Su-17/Su-22 "Fitters" in the stash, single- and two-seat. Both have markings for early 1990s ex-Warsaw Pact air forces (single-seat: Russian & Polish, two-seat: Russia and Hungary). Are these eligible? I'm sure I have plenty more kits that would also be eligible, but I'm looking for a good reason to build these in the near(-ish) future.

Very sorely tempted to build a Luftwaffe Mig 29 to bridge the divide.

 

Either that or another RAFG Phantom! 

Both of those would make for cool subjects :thumbsup:

Those certainly would be eligible for this :D
