Crazy Snap Captain Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Must admit I'm a little biased on this one, but who would be interested in a Hellenic Air Force Group Build? A multitude of aircraft to choose from, both past and present. Here's a sample: * F-16 Falcon * F-4E Phantom * RF-4E Phantom * Mirage 2000 * T-2 Buckeye * T-6 Texan * A-7 Corsair * F-5A Freedom Fighter * F-104 Starfighter * F-102 Delta Dagger * Mirage F1 * F-84F Thunderstreak * F-84 Thinderjet * T-33 Shooting Star * C-130 Hercules * C-27 Spartan The list goes on... The great thing is you can cut loose and really weather up your models as Greek birds are notoriously dirty (their planes are also not very clean :lol:). Here's some examples: F-16D A-7E A-7D F-4E F-5A Not to mention some cool special schemes! Who's in? Edited February 23, 2015 by Crazy Snap Captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yep, could find room on the shelf for a different Phantom paint scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Great idea...(I am Greek, what did you expect!!!) I am already waiting to start a "GROUP built" in my club regarding just A-7s, and my "offering" will be something along these Lines... so ...count me "in" !!! photo uploader Edited February 23, 2015 by zark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I remember the started RF-4E from the old recce GB in my stash - could be a reason to put back on the bench! But better wait with that GB, there are already others in preparation. I only can join 1 (and in winter max 2 GBs) GB because I m a slow modeller and have a lot of other activities in summer!

Eric B. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi, I am love weathering and I am a huge fan of Greek aviation. I have done a part already with an A-7E and F-4E in 1/72nd scale and I am just starting an RF-4E currently. But I am a slow modeller and I am not sure I will be able to follow any pace.. Still I'd love to aim end of this year!! Cheers Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If I can get the modelling room built and set up in time then count me in. When would you think the start date would be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Chaps thanks for the responses! No dates set yet, but I would think a start in the the second half of the year would be most likely as there a re number of GB's going on right now. Can the mods advise on potential start dates?

Shorty84 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Great idea! Since I´m personally attached to Greece I would definitely like to join in. One question though: Which Timeframe do you aim to? Only modern Hellenic Air Force (1945 – today) or anything which flew for Greece (1911 – today)? Cheers Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd propose we go for a full history from 1911 onwards. Besides, the Hellenic Air Force did perform the first recorded strike on a naval vessel in 1913! Lots of history there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yip that's what I would go with as well although the majority will no doubt be 70's onwards. Would you include rotary craft as well Andrew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevan Vogler Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well, my building speed is glacially slow so it doesn't make sense for me to sign on for a group build. However; I do love to watch them. Here's some extra inspiration: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
