BradG Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just a heads up if you're planning on joining this Group Build it will start in a weeks time. Out of Africa is the theme, any aircraft past or present that served an air force of a country on the African Continent.

vince14 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Got a couple of kits in the stash that would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) A couple of kits, indeed. At hand with AM sets and decals: Congo/Zaire Mirage-5 in two greens Chengdu J-7 in Tanzania, Nigeria or Zimbabwe L-39ZA Albatros in Algeria Spanish HA-1112 Buchon in Peugeot blue F-5E of an Ethiopian ace in Asia Minor camouflage (5 Mig-21s downed) Egyptian Macchi MC.205 Veltro in desert camo Mig-17 Mali SOD: Egyptian Mig-19 A Texan in the Heart of Darkness (Biafra war) Wish I had an Il-28 to build it in Nigerian colors... I guess a Libyan Blinder would be somewhat off sizewise ... Very curious what other modellers will bring to the table. I expect a lot of Africa Corps/Italian/Brit/US aircraft from WW2. More Mirages, French and African, South African Cheetahs, some Mig-21, also a fistful of Mig-23s. Maybe a Su-27 and some Su-25s? F-16s from Egypt or Morocco. Not to forget the F-5s. Harvards/Texans and Trojans were common in many AFs, but the kits are hard to get now. Nigerian Do-27 anybody? Hawker Hunters and Meteors? Not to forget a plethora of british and french naval aircraft from the Suez crisis! Infinitys new Vampire kit should fit some African AF too. And helos! Revells Alouette II in african liveries. The omipresent Hind, a Mi-8 and maybe a Mi-4? I am really excited now! Regards - dutik p.s. The Chengdu or the Veltro could be my first entry. Easy to build compared to the other kits...

scott_t Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I am thinking an Egyptian F-4E as I have had an urge to build a Phantom lately. I ordered decals from Aztec Decals ........will see how they look before committing. -Scott Paul in Napier, BradG and dutik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Somalian Hunters, South African Mustangs and Sabres, Egypt flew heaps of stuff; Migs, Meteors, Spitfires, P40's and don't forget the many airforces that flew MiL helicopters. Lots of stuff. Rick Griewski and Alain Gadbois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
