RAGATIGER Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Hi there Well sometimes the news made me look for new modeling topics and the actual situation around the Russia Federation, Ukraine and the NATO already made me look for some of them The actual topic title was look first from my facebook and only to notice that I have seen so few actual photos of the Finland Air Force Hornets but when looking for the picture I notice the Sidewinder that was a AIM-9X so double the surprize http://airheadsfly.com/2015/05/25/arctic-challenge-exercise-2015-kicks-off/ A second photos now with a targeting pod But still a Aim-9X Best modeling Armando PS If someone has some Finish AF F-18 in 1/72 maybe we can settle a trade Edited June 3, 2015 by RAGATIGER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Finland also have: AIM-120, AGM-154 JSOW, GBU-31 2000 lb JDAM, GBU-38 500 lb JDAM. All seen on an official Finish AF / MoD YouTube video. All on F-18. Seen a pic of a AGM-158 JASSM on a F-18 at an airshow, but that's most likely a mockup or something that they'd like / hope to get one day. Might try Kinetic 1/72 F-16, or Skunkworks Weapons Sets for the A/G munitions. Regards, Gerard Edited June 3, 2015 by Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAGATIGER Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 1000 thanks Gerard Well in any case Finland AF is not seen as much as Canadian AF or rest of the NATO members that operate the Hornet I been considering for some time now to but a Kinetic F-16 mostly because the weapons set also because Greek F-16 look real nice Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Seen a pic of a AGM-158 JASSM on a F-18 at an airshow, but that's most likely a mockup or something that they'd like / hope to get one day.

Gerard Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 V-P, Thanks for that update. I'm glad that your F-18's are getting better and better. Regards, Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks! Those planes that have the MLU2 already done are now officially F/A-18 Hornets, not "just" F-18:s anymore. Check Finnish DF website www.mil.fi for pictures and clips from Arctic Challenge Exercise -15. V-P Edited June 4, 2015 by vppelt68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
