If you do not mind - I'm staying, of course, in your GB, but a decision on the model I undertake later.

Arcwelder, Purplethistle - thank you for ideas!
I thought about something like this - Polish instructor sent by the RAF, in the US aircraft production (Harvard-Texan), which teaches pilots in Pakistan :)
Or maybe something completely different :)

I'm certainly interested in doing this one but undecided as to what to build and what air force. Sweden would have been a good choice for me but that one's spoken for. I have markings for a New Zealand F4 Corsair that would look good, Or something Portuguese would be cool. Would something Israeli fit the format? If yes I have several to go at. I'll think some more and let you guys know.

All the best.

Thanks :) If you prefer a Polish construction in foreign colors, there's no problem - it can be a P-11c in Romanian service, may be TS-11 Iskra in the colours of India Air Force? You say - you have ;)

Sounds like it's time to dig out the old "Hawks in foreign service" decals again.

I think I've got several UAE and Kuwait options left.

Bagsy East Germany unless it's already taken. You can't get much lesser Represented than an Ex-Nation.

Sorry, Molly-new [at position 12] has taken Netherlands

List amended. Although I've excluded Germany I was thinking more of the those which carried Iron Cross markings but GDR Germany used a tri-colour diamond surmounted by a hammer & compass in a wreath. Using the same base logic as used for pre & post USSR Russia.

Interesting idea. I might be joining if my flow is back by then and things otherwise settled. I have plenty of Norse subjects in any shape or form to hack at. :lol:

I'm glad there are lots of takers for this GB as my involvement is looking doubtful right now. :cry:
