Kallisti Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) I think I have something that would fit into this GB - 1:32 Hurricane IID (from the Fly kit) based in Burma as part of my 'Aircraft my Father fixed' long running project. The Hurricane IID is the version with under-wing gondola mounted 40mm cannon which were specifically designed for Tank Busting. Most of the Hurricane IIDs that ended up in Burma were originally in North Africa and were called "flying can openers". My Dad was assigned to 5 Sqn in Burma which were initially equipped with a mix of these and Hurricane IIc but they were soon all transferred to 20 Sqn and replaced with more IIc. I need to check my Fighters of the RAF at home for the exact details, but I think it should fit in here.

RJ-WobblyHands Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Can I join for fun and mayhem I think A Harrier GR7 will fit the Tank Buster definition - they fired off plenty of Maverick Anti Tank missiles during Operation Telic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 both would be fine. A Hurricane IID with 40mm cannon pods and in 1/32nd, that's a must for this GB!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 ...and besides the obvious WWII tanks which are eligible, later beasts like this are as well. There are 2 of these in the tank museum up in Cairns, they're so cool looking! had almost forgotten I had this, I think this ill be a definitely on the build schedule with the Viggen.

I've just added the Raketenjagdpanzer missile armed version to the stash, so would like to join with that. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 it'd be great to see another one of these(well almost) in the build, they have such a classic tank killer/hunter look. One of these with a 120mm smooth bore or 155mm , with reactive armour would be a beast to come up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Is a Mk2 SHAR with Sea Eagles considered? Or do I have to go to a Joint Harrier Force Mk7/9 as a tank buster! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 in that configuration it would definitely class as a ship killer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Adding this one to my planning spreadsheet if the time opens up. I've got a couple fun ones in the stash that could fit in here that would normally be odd one out. EP-3C Orion, an EC-135 or an ES-3A (if I get my mits on the conversion kit). Also have some options available for ASW... S-3 and a SH-60F. Admittedly there are so many GB options I want to participate in...I don't know which ones I will actually be able to partake in. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Was looking into the stash over the weekend and found a few that would fit nicely: a Meteor PR.10 for recon, a couple of Il-2, a type that was maybe THE tankbuster, and an old He-219 that I may build as a challenge... can't promise I'll build them all, but at least one will be built here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale85 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I love the idea! I have an A-10 to build... And i need revenge after the double falure of the last two GB started and never finished! So... 'im in! ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 For the Ship Killer category, how about an Iraqi Mirage F1 carrying an Exocet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've already dropped my name in the hat for 2 other GB's, I dunno if I can complete a third but I'll try. Have a few ideas; RF-4B or C, AH-1F, maybe a TARPS Tomcat, or a F-18 ATARS, maybe an A-7 or A-6 loaded with Harpoons targeting Iranian ships back in the late 80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Quick query, would Argentine Armada A4s qualify as a “Specialist” anti shipping? I have just moved house and can find 7 Skyhawk kits but not my FW190 Torpedo Bomber...yet, investigating back up options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a great reference book and will investigate the options but just wanted to be sure it would qualify. Really looking forward to this one and hoping I can do a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi Rich, I'd like to join in please 😁 Have a few tankbusters and nightfighters that would fit in nicely. It's not too far off as well so win win! Cheers Greg 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafwaffe Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I’d like to join please have a few ideas and kits in the stash which may work wonder if a 515 sqn defiant fits one of the categories here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Defiant as a nightfigher is fine, but it looks like these were early ECM/Radar Jamming aircraft which sort of don't quite fit the Recon/ELINT category. I suppose if it doesn't upset anyone, I'll open up the Recon/ELINT group up to ECM aircraft (or AFV's...ships???). This would allow Prowlers, Wild Weasels, etc to join in, it sort of makes sense to include them into this group. Now who'll be the first to rock up with a F-105G or F-4G? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hi Rich. I'd like to enter with this please, if acceptable. It's VX181, the prototype Canberra PR.3. Are prototypes OK for the GB? The kit's 1/96 scale and dates from 1957. I've got other options available if necessary, but none are as cool ! Cheers Cliff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
