helios16v Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Canadia huh? Hmm, I might have something. I think I have the bits to do a CF-104 (as long as parts haven't been robbed for a F-104J)...will have to dig to see if I have any other options. And yes, I know the flag doesn't commit me to the country. But it does make it fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 What does that make me, Hungary? Well at this time of evening I'm hungry but now I need to see when Hungary joined NATO and what their armed forces play with since then Or perhaps I'll build something from the stash instead of using this as an excuse to buy another kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Iceland hmmm they don't have nor have ever had a standing military so how do I build anything from Iceland ? Maybe I could build something based there by the U.S. or U.K. ? I looked up the Icelandic coast guard between the 5 aircraft and boats I don't think they're any models of. I will persevere though and see what I can come up with. Edited May 16, 2022 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wind up doing the 57th then Id rather go with an older aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I should be good to go for the CF-104. Forgotten I had picked up a couple F-104Js hella cheap, so I don't need to rob parts from the Eduard NATO boxing to build the alternate scheme J (mainly gear & non-bulged doors). It appears this is my only option at this point, which is fine. Still a lot of time between now the this GB though (if it gets in) for other stuff to "find" its way in. Going to do my best to not go looking though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Not my normal playground but this is one party any self respecting modeller should not miss, NATO group build, lordy! the list is endless. I may even go for a military figure but I think I will give wingy things a miss this time around just to add a little variety. Count me in please. Now for the fun bit......tell me, tell me, which flag do I get?😉🤣🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceAddict Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 In our ever-changing world the list of potential subjects for this GB is expending weekly... 🇨🇭 potentially? 2024 is a long way off, but put my name down for a build in this one as most of what I enjoy building fits in anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desert falcon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 They even made a for this GB 😁 Congratulations @vppelt68 on Finland joining the treaty! No politics I know, but allow me to say that on behalf of my mother country 🇩🇰, we are happy to have our nordic brothers and sisters in the alliance 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 Though I really hope to join this GB, I don’t want to take up a flag as my record of both starting and completing GB‘s is pretty poor.

You see in 🇫🇮 "otan" means "I'm taking" or "I'm having" and "olutta" is a partitive of "olut" which means beer.
