Hello all, Going to attempt this in the GB timeframe, though i'll need to complete my Typhoon FGR4 for the RAF GB first, but here it is; 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18E, BuNo 168912 of VFA-87 'Golden Warriors' during their Operation Inherent Resolve cruise in 2017 (this squadron flew alongside VFA-213). This jet shot down a Syrian Su-22 on the 18th June 2017. Kit: Extras: I'll be using an Aires cockpit (in the bag), Steel Beach FOD covers, Pavla seat, Quickboost ECS pipes, Furball decals and 2x GBU-32s from an Academy F-22. Here's the decal option: Can't find many images of the jet itself during the cruise, but it'll be armed with 2x AIM-9x, 2x AIM-120, 2x GBU-32 and 3x GBU-38. It'll be another heavily weathered jet too Not the jet in question, but here's one from the same squadron with the load out i'm going for (minus one GBU-32): Dave

Hello all, Here is my first entry for this GB - Revell's 1/48 F-15E marked as 89-0487 from the 335th Fighter Squadron, during Operation Inherent Resolve in 2016. This jet has the distinction of getting the F-15E's only air to air kill, dropping a GBU-10 on an Iraqi Mi-24 in February 1991. It is also the only F-15E to date to have logged 10,000 hours of flying time. Kit (hiding in an Academy box): I'll be using a lot of parts from a left over Academy kit - Sniper pod, antennae etc. Extras: Authentic Decals, Pavla seats and Eduard Small Diameter Bombs. I'll be loading the jet with the SBD down the centre line, 3x GBU-38's, 4x GBU-12's, 3x AIM-120's, 1x AIM-9 and 2x fuel tanks. All armament, bar the SBDs, will be from the Academy kit. This load is based on several images i've seen online: 3x AIM-120 GBU-12 - 7th picture down SBD on the centre line The last picture above will be what i'll base my weathering on. Looking forward to this one. Dave
