Bennet Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) 2020 will be the start for my Greater Middle East, also known as MENAP (Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan), build. Having lived for 10 years in a Middle Eastern country so I have a great affinity for that part of the world. A note for all to keep in mind, I’m not going into a geo-political/religious discussion… this is a scale modelling topic. As a rule of thumb I will use the map on Wikipedia that defines the area. Some examples of possible topics: RAF Harrier GR.9 (operation Telic) IRIAF F-14A Tomcat Iraqi Bf 110 French F4U-7 Corsair Suez Canal Belgian F-16A MLU US Navy F-14D Tomcat VF-213 Saudi Arabian F-15 Eagle Israeli F-35I Russian Su-57 (or T-50, PAK-FA) in Syria … I have a feeling that my Christmas gift maybe the kick-off 🤐... I’ll keep you posted! Edited December 24, 2019 by Bennet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 You could replace the Israeli F-35 for an Avia S-199 in Israeli markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I am trying to build an IRIAF collection myself, so will watch with interest. Its a fascinating part of the world and rich with interesting themes for modelling. Are you sticking to 1/72 throughout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sticking to 1/72 throughout? 1/72 is just coincidence 🤔... due to circumstances I'm going backwards as far as modelling space is concerned. Before I had my own modelling room but now I'm actually modelling in the living room. I actually prefer 1/48 because the wide(r) choice of decals. Good luck with your IRIAF collection. Are you going to post here on BM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
