Greece and Turkey

There was a basic idea that whatever Greece got Turkey also got.  But it didn't always work that way.

So, Greece got F-86Ds, but Turkey got F-100s.

Greece was supposed to get G-91s, but neither got them.

Greece wanted early F-4s' either B or Cs. But was not co-operating with the USA over bases.

So, a bit of cross-dressing on the models?

Go for it. A modernised F-4C, equivalent to an F-4J or so, would be good enough to warrant an Aegean blue scheme, methinks.  :wub:

Also, the Speypowered F-100 (google F-100S for reference) with an LRTMS could be valid well into the late eighties, at least. I have built French and German ones, soon to be displayed in a thread of their own.  :thumbsup:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Yes, I like the idea of the F-4
I had not thought of the Spey engined F-100. I was thinking of the update with the F-102 afterburner cheaper if on a budget.
Another option would be a Turkish SLUF (A-7)

Found a couple of 1/100th Tamiya G-91 R4's with Greek decals so one oob and a second as a Turk.

Greek T-38.  Subtle, I think both had F-5B's but only Turkey had Talons. Alternatively, upgrade both to F-5E/F.
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.

I remember a T.V. chief saying that it's always a good idea to Greece your Turkey  ;D
