Good morning Wez 

I think that this Gb looks like a MTO GB ? in that case what about a post WWII MTO GB in which every country with an access to the Med sea would be elligible ? 

Best Regards 

Patrice  

 

Patrice, I hear what you're saying and that would open thing up a bit more but there's one sticking point, Portugal isn't in the Med and I want to include often neglected Portugal.  Also, I want to include subjects from antiquity too.

Sounds like a good idea Wez. 

 

Please add add me to the list. 

 

Thanks

Thanks James, you're on the list.

 

Anyone else?

Please put me down @Wez, always keen to add ‘Malta’ subjects to my collection. I might even try my hand at some of their latter Armed Forces of Malta  period with possible subjects which could include an Alouette, Islander, Bird Dog and S.A Bulldog (among others). Sourcing decals is the hard part, so might need to source a custom decal company in time. 

Cheers.. Dave.

Dave,

 

Agreed sourcing the decals for the latter day Maltese stuff is more difficult, hopefully someone will be able to help you out.  Fortunately, your choices for WWII Malta are much more prolific but it would be interesting to see some latter day stuff.

 

Thanks for signing up.

 

Anyone else interested?

Good evening Wez

 It is your GB you decide what you want to accept ...

Thanks Craig. I actually have decals for the Alouette, it’s the others I’m short on. Hopefully something will turn up one day?

Caracal do a Maltese Islander in 1/48 Dave, not sure if they plan to release it in 1/72 though.

[Robert Stuart]

OK, I'm in.
Not sure what I'd build, but this sounds good

I’ve seen that too and have almost been tempted to upscale on more than one occasion. This could always still occur in any moment of sheer madness, so anything’s possible. I also believe the Tarangus 1/48 S.A Bulldog has Maltese decals included straight OOB, now that’s quite tempting as well. 

Cheers.. Dave

And would still be easy to fit into the stash.

Well, anything that includes the Spanish Civil War is a runner for me, so please add me to the list,  Happy to support (and vote for it in the Bunfight in November 2022, of course.....)

Thanks guys forsigning up.

 

Room for more, anyone else want to join?

[Wez]

Mid-week push for this one, lots of scope from antiquity to modern times, land sea and air, just as long as it fits within the geographical boundary of coastal southern Europe and Portugal.

[ArnoldAmbrose]

Gidday, if WW2 Malta is eligible then I have a couple of candidates. Regards, Jeff.

I’ll throw my hat in here, I have a number of Fulmars in my stash - lots of Med connections there.  I might even try some wing origami on one of them...

[dnl42]

My stash could provide 2 PZL P.24s in Greek markings. 

[Paul Bradley]

16 signed up, halfway there. Wez, if we all promise to do two models, does that get us to 30...?

This isn't intended to be another MTO GB but if your Fulmars were land based at Gib, Malta or Cyprus that would be fine, if they were carrier based, the carrier would have to be Gib or Malta based (e.g. not Alexandria).  Are you still interested.

Perfect!  I'll add your name to the list.

Only if @Enzo Matrix lets our votes count for double in the bunfight.

 Add my name to the list I think I can find something suitable in my stash ...

Thanks Patrice.

 

Anyone else up for this?

[Bobby No Mac]

I'm in. Undecided what I'll build but the Hellenic Air Force lends itself to some interesting subjects.

[TonyOD]

Add me to the list please @Wez!
