Dansk Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Don't think this has been done before, but could be wrong. A GB dedicated to 'desert schemes' for sandy / arid environments. so we're looking at all manner of possibilities; schemes for specific arenas like ww2 north africa schemes, iraq war schemes, and then camo for native forces of arid desert climates. tanks, jeeps, trucks, aircraft, figures, civilian equipment too. . anything goes even sci-fi if its in a guise designed for desert operations. to be clear: this is equipment / sporting looks designed for desert / sandy / arrid ops, not just stuff that happened to be in a desert environment. 1 @modelling minion host 2 @Dansk host 3 @theplasticsurgeon 4 @Corsairfoxfouruncle 5 @vppelt68 6 @Wez 7 @arfa1983 8 @Marklo 9 @Jabba 10 @desert falcon 11 @franky boy 12 @Chrisj2003 12.5 @Adam Poultney 14 @Jb65rams 15 >>>>>>> @Col. <<<<<<< (xtra special highlighting as requested) 16 @stevehnz 17 @Torbjorn 18 @trickyrich 19 @JOCKNEY 20 @sardaukar 21 @Hockeyboy76 22 @JosephLalor 23 @Beazer 24 @jackroadkill 25 @CliffB 26 @Rafwaffe 27 @DaveJL 28 @Roland Pulfrew 29 @Luke1199 30 @Chrisj2003 31 @Mottlemaster 32 @Geo1966 33 @Bullbasket 34 @John Masters 35 @Mukund SB 36 @Ozzy 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I have a Panzer II and a Valentine in the stash that could both be done in North African schemes. And it would give me an excuse to break out the PC12 for a change, assuming Mesopotamian RFC schemes are allowed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisj2003 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Paul, count me in. If you’re allowing Israeli or Greek schemes I could do a jet in brown camo or a faded Greek F-16 in Agean camo? FineMolds are rereleasing their F-4D in Iranian scheme would that be appropriate? Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well XM607 was once painted with sand coloured camouflage underneath.... But I've already built a model that Vulcan in its more famous Black Buck scheme, maybe I'll do something from the Luftwaffe in WW2. Definitely interested 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris The idea is for anything in desert type camo Chris, so Greek F-5's in the Asia minor scheme would be fine as would anything in Israeli camo and the Iranian F-4 (a great choice by the way) but I think the Aegean camo would be out. 6 hours ago, Adam Poultney said: Well XM607 was once painted with sand coloured camouflage underneath....

James Well I would have been very surprised if someone hadn't built it James, its a great scheme and quite straightforward giving plenty of scope for weathering. 12 minutes ago, Jb65rams said: I’m in. As we stand thinking Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV in North Africa Free French Airforce Colours. One of my favourite schemes. Good man, and another fine choice. I built the old Airfix Mk.IV many times and was always drawn to the artwork on the box of the Free French aircraft, one of Roy Cross' best in my opinion. 🇺🇦 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig, great, any excuse for another FineMolds rhino. But I do have a Sufa in the stash and I like F-5s. Decisions, decisions. Let’s get this over the line first.
