Swiss Air Force GB ** Completed **
The Swiss Air Force is the air component of the Swiss Armed Forces; it was established on 31 July 1914 as part of the army and in October 1936, became an independent service. The SAF has operated a huge variety of aircraft over the course of 100 years - something for everyone, I dare say.

Anyone fancy a GB in September or October to commemorate this event?

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
I'm in. October would be nice, I might think of something a bit different to build.

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
I'm thinking of either doing something with more then one engine, or a jet. Most likely the jet. If only I could find something reasonably priced though.

I have a Heller Buecker Juengmeister with Swiss decals somewhere about. October sounds good.

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
I have been thinking of doing one for some time, either an MS 406 or a late model 109 that I have in the stash with appropriate decals so count me in.

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
Cool - 5 other participants already! Some nice choices of subject coming out here - and plenty more to choose from.
October sounds as if it's the month of choice. Any more for any more?

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
This sounds cool, but I'm wary of committing to GBs later in the year as I'll possibly/probably/hopefully have a) a proper job again and b) something thespy in the works.
Otherwise, quite possibly.

Re: Swiss Air Force GB, Anyone?
I've been wanting to do a Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 in Swiss colours ever since seeing one at Flying Legends last year. October's good for me.
