No idea what to build for this ? Not much in the stash that fits into the time frame. I did find a Martin Mauler this morning and thought "French ?".

I may wait until Southern Expo in a couple of weeks and look around.

Vietnam?  US Navy, USAF or South Vietnamese?  Thai markings maybe with a bit more involvement?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Sincere and honest query for the most honourable Mods, I have pre-existing MSPaint profiles of custom "blank" kitbashes, can I repaint them for this GB?

They were originally for an Alternate Universe country, similar to NationStates, but my plan is to make them "real world" whiffs.

I take it most of your stash is WWII? Why not have a WWII aircraft re-purposed for COIN work in some grubby little war that's kept on the boil by both sides of the Cold War for their own agendas? There were plenty of real-world examples: Cavalier Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Sea Furys, Invaders... anything that was in production at the end and left a lot of lightly used airframes going spare. All you need is the markings (any number of aftermarket sheets available) and some modern weapons. I'm sure we can help you out with both of those things too...

I'm attempting to build a 1/72 VC 10 using the Heller Boeing E-3A/C with the vacform engines and T-tail. I'll use the Sentry AEW rotodome in the build.

Anything but US in Vietnam (done to death).  How about Royal Lao Air Force.  They used the Discworld Roundels.

I'll print you a set if you want.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Nah, subtly subversive (there's a Cold War theme all of it's own).  Looks like a Skyraider, dressed like a Skyraider but isn't a Skyraider, to mess with weak minds....

Technically speaking, aren't those Coneworld roundels rather than Discworld ones?

Coneworld is similar to Discworld except that:

a. it's got more surface area
b. the inhabitants are fitter
c. the inhabitants are more pished off
d. anyone who proposed a karting competition is put on suicide watch immediately

The mods have conferred and it's been decided that this IS allowed, as long as you post the blank profiles at the start of your thread as the equivalent of a physical modeller's 'unbuilt kit' photo. :thumbsup:

I've seen a Martin Mauler without the prop cover painted up in SEA scheme. It looked very like a Skyraider.

Cheers for the help, advice and ideas lads. I shall take them on-board, but won't make a decision until post Southern in a couple of weeks. I'm busy with other things at the moment and want to finish the stuff that's stalled for a couple of months.
