BeNeLux GB - and we're off to the bunfight!

Oh? Would that be Diana by any chance?

Yes, yes it is.  

It's the Hasegawa 2 pack (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-02172-f-16a-adf-mlu-fighting-falcon--958292) that I nabbed on sale a while back.  Kinda funny, because I'm not usually a fan of colorful schemes on TPS jets, but this one grabbed my attention.  I think because it's more reminiscent of nose art, than adding a bunch of color like on CAG & wing commander aircraft.

Oh yes! Seen a few photos of the many tail-art schemes celebrating Diana The Huntress on jets over the years but these two are new to me. Good choice

[Jinxman]

Good for me - would you count me in please? I think a 1/72 F-84G multiple build might fit the bill?

 

cheers

I’m in V.P. These multi nation GB’s are lots of fun and are a good break from building subjects that one would describe as the ‘norm’. Just checking, would the NEIAF be acceptable here too? 
 

Cheers.. Dave 

Dave, I think that was an integral part of the Dutch armed forces and no-one would object us allowing these subjects in the GB. I wonder if the Belgians had something similar in the Africa? In case there was other such "subsidiaries" they would be all included. Oh, and not just the air forces; this should be open for all subjects, sea-land-air. V-P 

[John Masters]

Now...does Luxembourg have an air force?  

 

Obviously pre-ECSC/EEC BeNeLux is alright, right?  

 

Found this...

 

Piper Super Cub from Luxembourg.

All NATO AWACS planes (see my pic of one in post #7) are registered to the Luxembourg AF. They have one Airbus A400M Atlas on order, to be stationed in Belgium and operated as a part of a bi-national fleet. Delivery is expected in 2020 so maybe the Revell kit could be built as the one in 2021 . V-P

One of three aircraft the Luxembourgers use(d)...the others are an Airbus Atlas and an Airbus H145 helicopter.  Probably difficult to not fly into Belgian/French/German airspace.  The wiki article on their armed forces reads like the Duchy of Grand Fenwick--no offence to all my Luxembourger friends!  That being said, I might have to concoct a What If aircraft just for kicks for Grand Fenwick.  I mean, they didn't have an aircraft anyway and...well, Grand Fenwick doesn't really exist...

 

        

 

Perhaps an old Farman or something...Bleriot XI maybe...😁

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Shashman]

I've personally seen Luxemburg HMMWVs at a Belgian National Day parade, so that's another option.

[vppelt68]

John, is the Grand Fenwick inhabited by some celtic tribe? "Aye! Nay!" I loved that

Edit: Or is that a free-lance model railroad, perhaps? NO, see...

Edit 2: You learn something new every day! I gotta get a closer look at that tale 🙂

Thanks for the tip, John! Maybe we should try to revive @Bonhoff's "Literary" GB proposal, let me see...

Think this one deserves a bump, 

 

Come on put your thinking caps on look at the stash and.... 

[Foxbat]

Count me in, be a good excuse to try a Revell Leopard 2 or GTK Boxer. They both come in specific Dutch versions. Plus a colourful Belgian wingy thing if there's time left - a Meteor, Hunter or maybe even a Hurricane.

 

Andy

 

 

[Ted]

I would join with a Belgian Sopwith camel. 

[CYA]

hmmmm, I might join with the flying meat chopper known as Fokker XIII. I think dutch markings are the only ones available for that one...I don't see it build otherwise, some short shot parts will need to be scratched or repaired though.

 

Rob

[alt-92]

How did I miss this?

How?

What?

 

There's also an MLD Sea Fury, Fokker D.XXI, a D.XXIII , F-27 Troopship, and some F-16s around.
 

 

 

 

_{can I join please?}

[Andwil]

I’d like to join in also.  I have a few potential subjects in the stash.  Willi Coppens’ blue Hanriot springs to mind...

 

AW

[stevehnz]

I'd be up for this, I've a stack of Belgian aircraft subjects to make  

Steve.

[TonyOD]

I fancy this. Lots of possibilities.

[Chrisj2003]

I’ve got some nice Daco decals for a Belgian widow maker that needs an excuse to make. So count me in.

 

Chris

[Jb65rams]

Add me to the list please. From the stash I have a choice of three Hawkers; Sea Fury / Sea Hawk / Hunter.

[reini]

Sure thing, Netherlands F-104 and Belgian (or Netherlands) Air Force Hunter is waiting in the stash.

 

Maybe @JeroenS would have some interest to this GB too?
