How about venturing beyond the stream of IDF/AF builds that we see and go wild ..... how about South African? Angolan? I know Israel isn't in Africa. Just making some discussion, as certain pieces were operated in African soil/skies. I'm looking at an Egyptian build myself (already have kit/decals). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this gets the numbers and then through the poll (and I can see no reason why it won't, such an appealing subject), then if you want a co-host I'm happy to throw my hat into the ring! Fancy an Alpha Jet for this one, or maybe a G-91, or an Invader, or... Cool, I'll hold you to that offer thanks Wez, now as for your potential subject choices...

I'm looking at an Egyptian build myself (already have kit/decals). It's a valid point and one worth expanding upon. Operations by foreign nations within Africa is all part of its history and, let's be honest here, it's been a big part of its history at that. As a result I'm happy to see that side of Africa's story told through our models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogfight double? Right at this moment I'm looking at suitable decal options for the new MiG-17 from Airfix. Turns out I need at least four more kits and we're not out of Africa yet...
