stevej60 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Nothing planned or in the stash for this one Luke did offer me one of his 1/48 RF-4E Phantoms which has Greek Marking's but it's the Northern show tomorrow something that would fit in nicely is on my want list if I can find one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 A NMF (Non Modelling Friend) gave me the newer Bristol Blenheim Mk.IVF kit. If it were Mk. I I would build it as 30 Sq in Greece...but also, it is not. I see that Xtradecal has the marking for the Mk. IV/F for the SAAF in Libya, Portugal, and also the Free French (alas, in Chad, so that's out). What say you all? --John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have a pile of Italian aircraft to build: * 3x Sword Fiat G.55 (three very different schemes) * RS Models Reggiane 2005 * FROG Macchi 202 * Italeri Macchi 205 (too late a kit for the classic Italian GB) I have an Ark Royal on the go in the NMCZ GB that is proving to be (duh!) a rather uncomfortable experience and a planned excursion into the Entropy GB with a complex build, but otherwise I'm hoping to spend the rest of the year building as many of the above (and some classic Italeri and Supermodel kits) as I can fit in. Oh, and a Thunderbolt. So I would like to start with building the trio of G.55s - I built a couple of P-38s mostly in parallel last year and that seemed to work well - and if they work out I will add another build or two. Apologies for not expressing an interest earlier. Regards, Adrian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Giddins Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I've recently joined the forum and fancy taking part in this group build. I have a 1/72 Airfix Spitfire Mk Vc on the list I'm planning to build as BR294 GL-E a 185 Squadron Malta aeroplane. It'll be a straightforward out of the box build. Is it still possible to enter this build? I'm guessing it's the same as other group builds I've done with a progressive photo build and reveal in the gallery? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GB hasn't started yet, it starts next Saturday and runs to the 1st of October, you're in time and you have plenty of time. Your Malta based Spitfire is eligible for the GB so come and join us, and you're right about how the GB progresses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 Looking at the proposed entries so far Greece, Spain, Malta and Italy are well represented, we've even got entries for Albania, Yugoslavia and Austria-Hungary so I'm well pleased. The GB starts on Saturday, hopefully we'll see the other countries get represented in the coming weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among my long term plans is a Macedonian Su-25 but I see that this country is not in the list, even if it was part of Yugoslavia.... what's the moderator view on this ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Macedonia is as "Southern Europe" as Greece, Giorgio! :). Certainly on the basis that Bosnia qualifies! However, I look forward to something Italian!!!!

JackG Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Macedonia is on the list of countries and their flag is on the GB badge as well. It looks like a yellow sun w/rays on a red background. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
