BradG Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Here is another question, what about South Pacific islands that were basically all sand and some vegetation? Could a desert island be part of the category? Not really, aircraft there were mostly camouflaged for operations over water, be it dark greens, olive drabs or blues.

BloorwestSiR Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yes it's meant to be a theme that ties together the builds through the desert type camouflages. So things like Grey F-18's from Desert Storm, the X15 and aircraft like Natural metal Egyptian Migs or Isreali Mirages are out. Thanks for the clarification Brad. I appreciate it.

DeanKB Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'd go Revell, but with a desert scheme. Ju 88 & He 111 boxing's have great desert options, 190 has AM options, as does the 109, of course. Revell's reboxed Hasegawa Stuka has some cool desert camo options as well. Most famous is perhaps this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Not really, aircraft there were mostly camouflaged for operations over water, be it dark greens, olive drabs or blues. Brad, not to dwell on it, but this was the particular scheme I was thinking about, it was painted "coral sand" over olive drab. I was tring to figure out if it has to be both a color and a location, or if its the color only. John Bardwell did this one. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 To me, it means a desert camo scheme (usually containing a sandy color) made for use on aircraft in a desert theater (North Africa/Middle East). In other words, both color and location. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im obviously not the decision maker here, but to me that definitely qualifies as a desert scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Hey you know what, there's anought participant to start both GB, The desert and the Revell, isn't..? Dan. " Revell kit in desert camouflage" ? WW-2: some oldies,ex Hasegawa and new kits(He-111,Ju88) fit the theme Jets and helo's: not my field of expertise It narrows down the number of kits as no other brand can be used .But there are plenty of Revell kits that can be done in sandy colours. And participants would have to be a bit more creative to pick a suitable build. With this GB the Revell and desert fans are both happy.

Dave Williams Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 For Revell jets in desert Camo, a number of options, but it may require tracking down some OOP decals: DS Tornado GR.1s IAF F-4E and RF-4E MiG-21MF, possibly PF also?

Haha, I do appreciate the effort to push the constraints right to the very edge, so ok, if the GB gets up you can do this. I'll also allow in a B-17 based at Midway in the light green. tan and brown scheme if anyone is game for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 What I meant was two different GB at once, Ship of the Desert and Revelling the Day.... There's always 2 GB's running at the same time. Currently I think that's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
