Hi all,
I will be building a modern German Airbase with a few European aircraft as well. I have decided to do this for a few reasons.
The Plan
To build a display base for German schemed and some European schemed 1/72 Kits. Now this project will stretch into next year Most of the kits will actually be built as part of GB's and then sit on this airbase at completion. This base will have both air based and land based elements.
I would like to iterate - the goal of this project is not accuracy but to find a home / display base for all these kits.
The Set of Kits
Here is the current set of kits I have which will be built as part of the base.
Here are the kits I plan to add
I might also potentially add further kits, particularly 1/72 trucks or cars. I have not yet decided.
Build Schemes and probable build dates
Mig 21
These are the current build schemes either offered in the kit or with the use of spare decals that I will decide to build
First up is the MIG 21 which will be built as part of the Mig 21 SIG so starting this week
Here is the scheme I will try to build - with spare decals from a 1/72 Hind I just built, and also the 1/72 Leopard kit.
FUCHS
The FUCHS will be built either in the Tracked Armour GB running now or in the Military Ambulance GB next year in this scheme:
Phantom F-4
The Phantom will be built in next years Ricks Phantom GB in the German scheme provided in the kit very similar to one below
F-16
The f-16 will a actually be built using an old Tamiya Scheme using spare decals from Tamiyas 1/72 General Dynamics F-16 kit,in a French / Belgium prototype scheme. Even though the Academy kit decals are for a US scheme. This will be built in next years Cold War GB
Leopard Tank
Leopard tanks will be built as shown on box art, will be built in next years Modern Armour GB
Super Ettentard
Super ettentard will also be built with box art scheme dont know when this will be built, probably near the end of the project
Eurofighter
The Euro Fighter scheme is well known - as there are no GBs for modern jets I dont have a time on when this will be built, probably last.
Possible additions
I have an airfix sabre with the option of a Yugoslavian airforce scheme and a US scheme so I might build it in the Yougoslav scheme and put it on this, will probably decide much later.
I hope you all like my idea. All comments welcome
I will be building a modern German Airbase with a few European aircraft as well. I have decided to do this for a few reasons.
- I have quite a few 1/72 kits so try to want reasons to build them and clear them from my stash.
- I noticed many of them had German schemes, so I put them together and walaa... I had an idea
- I found some kits with European schemes that are close to Germany and so could potentially sit on a German airbase (as visitors or on joint exercise)
