USAF 75 Years GB *** Complete & Archived ***
I don't know if anyone else picked up on it, but September just gone marked the 75th anniversary of the creation of the United States Air Force.
I know we here on the UAMF are largely UK-centric, but does anyone fancy a GB to commemorate what is arguably the largest, most well equipped air force in History. Any subject, any scale, as long as it was in service post September 1947 - there should be plenty of subject choice for all; Korea, Vietnam, The (various) Gulf wars, USAFE, experimental etc. The list goes on.
I'll be building various things to mark it anyway, but I thought a GB would be fun.

Re: USAF 75 Years GB
Sounds like a good idea
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: USAF 75 Years GB
Thanks Jim - I know it's not to everyone's tastes it just struck me as something that should be marked.
Thanks Andrew - There's certainly a huge amount of possible subjects!

Interest from the Brits, but not the 'Muricans so far.

Re: USAF 75 Years GB
I have plenty to build, must get back into it with a new build rather than trying to finish off shelf queens.
