I have had an idea that I hope will have quite a broad appeal for a campaign. Taking my cue from the current National Pride campaign, my idea has two options. Basically, I propose that entrants build an aircraft built by your own country, but in the service of of another nation - OR you could build an aircraft built by another nation, but in the markings of your own country. Usual rules would apply - any scale you like.

Forum - over to you - any thoughts would be most welcome.
Cheers Everybody!

I like it. I've been preparing some subjects this year of Polish forces in foreign service during WWII like the French made MS-406 fighters in service with the Polish Groupe de Chasse Polonaise in the Battle of France.

American Spitfires!

British Kittyhawks!

Soviet Airacobras!

Throwing a curve ball:-

Built in Canada under licence and the sold to other countrys as per posted link.

well, for a US American, the perfect reason to build some US ARMY DHC Caribous.


edit, changed the picture to one showing ARMY markings

Cool, some great ideas already!

As a matter of fact, I should have some CP Air decals arriving in the mail soon. It might be time for another DC-3.

You only live once; so why not!

Ooooooh!


Or even

Jessie are you thinking of trying out the new Amodel 1/144 Comet?

It's tempting, but rumblings over on another forum claim that it's about 10mm too short to be a proper -4B. It's more in line with a regular -4 but without the extended wingtips and pinion tanks.

Besides which, neither of those two I posted are a -4B; they're Comet 1s, which I already have

Hmmmm.... I have something like these in mind!

ah, so. Ive never learned the Comets.
Ive been interested in F-RSIN kits for some time. id like to see how that goes together.

Something like this.

I am in for this one. Plenty of excellent possibilities!

Sounds interesting! So, just a wild thought - how many nations flew the Bf 109 beside Germany ...?

Torsten

Switzerland, Croatia, Czechs, Hungary, a couple of Italys, Yugoslavia, Spain, Slovakia and Finland. Probably missed one or two.

This could be cause to buy a Tracker....

Richard, when you mention Czechoslovakia, that's the Avia, Spain is the Hispano Buchon, then don't forget Israel

I believe that before the buchons Spain operated Doras and possibly Emils. The germans left much of their kit with Franco's Spain when they left.

Czechoslovakia definitely operated captured/inherited bf's after capitulation.

Maybe this is some inspiration for you, folks. Some of my "under foreign flag" aircrafts ....













Over the years I've build more than these and some of them are really old but most of them (after 2011) you can also see at my Assembly Line Thread in the WW2 Forum.

Torsten

Aircraft.... helicopter work?

Md500 asw torpedo version

Helicopters are definately in.

Howdy Y'all
This sounds like a great idea for a campaign. Count me in. I've always wanted to build an AVG P-40 in Chinese markings and shark teeth. I've got a 1/32 Trumpeter P-40B in the stash. I know there are some shortcomings with the kit's shallow cockpit but I'd still build it SOOB.
Look forward to it.
Take Care,
Don "Lakota"

I count ten people interested now, so I will be submitting the proposal for approval. Cheers Everybody!

When doas this one start? Im ready...lol
