vince14 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Here's a proposal for another GB - Far East Air Forces. We've had GBs for South America and Africa, so this would be a logical step. I'd suggest any aircraft, in any scale, as long as it's from any of the listed countries (or any of their previous incarnations); - China (inc. Hong Kong & Macau) - Japan - Mongolia - North Korea - South Korea - Taiwan - Brunei - Cambodia - East Timor - Indonesia - Laos - Malaysia - Myanmar (Burma) - Papua New Guinea - Philippines - Singapore - Thailand - Vietnam That gives plenty of choices, and a chance to make something you perhaps normally wouldn't.

tobiK Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I agree! There are many options and interesting camo schemes! Also enough possibilities to build US and russian aircraft NOT sporting their "home" dress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john c Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi Vince, I am the member of a small group who would only ever make models of obscure, small air forces and collect photos as such (everything from Silesia 1920, Chinese warlords to the Donetsk People's Republic!) I think that we have between us several thousands of photos. We are also members of many branches of IPMS and above all the Small Air Forces Clearing House which publishes a quarterly magazine full of such information. A regular check of magazines and the on-line shops like Hannants and you will find many small air force decals. I am also the author of Military Aircraft Insignia of the World (the current edition is 2014). Gladly help johnc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Anyone else interested? If we get the go-ahead, I'll build the Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-17 in Indonesian markings. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Vince, seams we have the same taste ...at least about the country there! My idea would be the Super Tucano from the TNI-AU with sharkmouth on. HB kit with FCM decals in 1/48. I just remember the guys flying over Yogyakarta in a 3ship while I was relaxing in the pool a few weeks ago... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I would be interested in this group build if it goes ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My Trumpeter offerings of the PLAAF may finally be built! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Any more interest? We need 25 votes for the GB to go ahead. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm gonna give this a bump because this is *far* too grand an idea not to happen! Only thing will be deciding what to build, I've got several options for Japanese and Korean F-4s, and then there are Burmese, Malaysian and North Korean Fulcrums...

White Wolf Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I voted for it even though I may not have time to participate, there are many interesting possibilities to be had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Any more interest? We only need four more votes... Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 One of the better ideas...I'm in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG-Mech Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Okay, I am new in this forum, but I am in, too. Starting with a chinese MiG-15 in the men's scale 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomCooper Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I'm not building modells any more (although I do plan to return to that 'hobby', sometimes in the future), so not going to vote. Besides, you seem to have got enough votes to start this GB. But, if there is interest to get some sponsoring, let me know: I'm sure that Harpia is going to be interested (and it has quite some reference to offer too). (EDIT: even more so if you add 'South Vietnam' to the list of possible entries.) Edited April 3, 2015 by TomCooper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Tom, I'm just waiting for the exact dates to be confirmed by the moderators and I'll drop you and Heinz a line to let you know what's going on! Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Oh man... Finally an excuse to build those Japanese F-15 and Phantoms. And perhaps a Chinese Su-30 to counter them ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomCooper Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Np Vince. Just drop me an e-mail when you know the details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
