Re: Trainer Group Build - ** On 2015 Calendar **
I have a couple of builds in mind for this one & they are not Spitfires.
First up will be a MiG-29UB and if time permits a Yak-18. If I get through those two I have plenty more.

Re: Trainer Group Build - ** On 2015 Calendar **
Training aircraft group build. Hmmm, I'd like to have a look at this, I've got a couple of Luftwaffe types just for something different, but I'm double booked in that case with the Hobby Boss one running at the same time & there is simply NO chance in the wide world that I could get away with two at once. ( I know my limitations nearly as well as she knows my limitations. ) Can I choose nearer the time?

Just a thought OT; What about display team aircraft? A lot of trainers ended up performing stunts for the public.

...and many modern training aircraft are co-opted into aerobatic teams anyway - my plan was to build a Croatian AF PC-9, and any of their PC-9s can be used for the aerobatic team.

Display team colours would be fine. The criteria is training aircraft, the colour scheme & subject are your choice.

Training aircraft retrofitted as attack aircraft? Quite a few examples out there

Re: Trainer Group Build - ** On 2015 Calendar **
I guess as long as it was an original trainer. Most advanced jet trainers have an attack capability for training purposes. I would have to draw the line at something like the Hawk 200 which is a single seat attack version as 'Trainer' is not in it's role description.
Would you all agree?

Re: Trainer Group Build - ** On 2015 Calendar **
This started as a trainer GB -- look back at the original post. Let's not degrade it by arming them for various small wars.
IMO, if a trainer carried armament as part of it's training role, and is in appropriate markings, then it would be OK. A trainer fitted, sold, and used as an attack aircraft would not be.

If it carried weapons as part of it's training role then you can add them.
