vppelt68 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Let me propose a NATO 75 years GB for 2024. Anything military from any NATO member since the year that specific nation joined the Alliance is an eligible subject. Here's hoping that 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪 subjects from 2023 forward would become eligible .  Right, let's start a list, but not just any list! There's a flag in the order of the current members joining the Alliance. The founding members, and when several members joined simultaneously, are placed in alphabetical order. They don't mean you'd have to build your model from that country, but it'd be great to have all of them represented! V-P  EDIT 4.4.2023: Finland 🇫🇮 has just joined! EDIT 7.3.2024: Sweden 🇸🇪 has just joined!  🇧🇪 Adam Poultney 🇨🇦 helios16v 🇩🇰 Marklo 🇫🇷 Chrisj2003 🇮🇸 Corsairfoxfouruncle 🇮🇹 CliffB 🇱🇺 JOCKNEY 🇳🇱 Bandsaw Steve 🇳🇴 TEMPESTMK5 🇵🇹 Robert Stuart 🇬🇧 franky boy 🇺🇸 Dansk 🇬🇷 modelling minion 🇹🇷 Swamp Donkey 🇩🇪 theplasticsurgeon 🇪🇸 Jabba 🇨🇿 bianfuxia ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ºÂ Col. 🇵🇱 Head in the clouds 🇧🇬 Tim R-T-C 🇪🇪 exdraken 🇱🇻 Marlin 🇱🇹 RaceAddict 🇷🇴 Jb65rams 🇸🇰 Wez 🇸🇮 arfa1983 🇦🇱 Lex77 (very fitting that Albania was the 7th country to ratify 🇫🇮 + 🇸🇪) ðŸ‡ðŸ‡·Â reini 🇲🇪 Hockeyboy76 🇲🇰 zebra 🇫🇮 vppelt68 🇸🇪 Roland Pulfrew 🇧🇪 Terry1954 (to round 2 with the flags!) 🇨🇦 Dermo245 🇩🇰 Rob S 🇫🇷 John Masters 🇮🇸 Stefan Buysse 🇮🇹 ArnoldAmbrose 🇱🇺 Trickyrich 🇳🇱 drdjp11 🇳🇴 stevehnz 🇵🇹 Angus Tura 🇬🇧 @Enzo Matrix 🇺🇸 wellzy 🇬🇷 reini 🇹🇷 DaveJL 🇩🇪 Mippie 🇪🇸 Wings unlevel 🇨🇿 Mattp7999 ðŸ‡ðŸ‡ºÂ Skyf24 🇵🇱 Davek72 🇧🇬 Andwil 🇪🇪 OscarIII 🇱🇻 Ettore 🇱🇹 whiskey 🇷🇴 Threadbear 🇸🇰 rafalbert 🇸🇮 Filler 🇦🇱 Sierra Mike Sierra ðŸ‡ðŸ‡·Â RJ-Wobblyhands 🇲🇪 Courageous 🇲🇰 Karearea 🇫🇮 Caerbannog 🇸🇪 AC87 🇧🇪 Romeo Alpha Yankee (to round 3 of the flags!) 🇨🇦 Creepy Pete 🇩🇰 🇫🇷 🇮🇸 🇮🇹 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I’m, in it’ll be an excuse to add a Leopard or a Gepard to the AFV collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 100% in. Very early positioning 18 months to the gunfight.  Almost everything in the stash would be eligible. Maybe I’d need 18 months to decide. 🤔  Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hi V-P  A few choices here Nimrod, I'd love to build the really ugly version with the balloon on the nose and tail (is there a conversion for this ?) or possibly a Shackleton. Either way I'm in  Cheers Pat  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 NATO - A genuine force for good in the world. Worthy of commemoration. Stick my name on the list please. I feel an attempt at an F104G coming on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Beginning to do post WWII stuff now. OK, this needs to be in ... Maybe @Enzo Matrix will give this GB a bye, and let it in without a vote? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly French stuff is one area I feel meh about. I’d instinctively think of something like a Reforger ANG kit, but with this idea of covering the whole Alliance I’d be happy with most of the pre 90s members.  Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I wonder if Sweden and Finland will be a part of NATO by the time this build comes around ? How will you treat states that weren't always apart of NATO but joined post cold-war ? Will they only be eligible for builds post joining ? In other words Poland joined in the 1990’s but you wouldn't want to build a Mig 15 as that predates the joining of NATO ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I got Germany for my flag, either this: which I'm really mindeded to build in splinter camo: or this.  Other subjects in my stash, an RAF Bruggen Tornado.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those big grey hulks aren’t many peoples cup of tea.  I think only a small minority would want to do them or say the Macedonian Air Force.  Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
