F-16 seats are further reclined, and may have issues w/ fitment due to bulkhead angle. An F-15 seat is close, but some of the handles are in different locations. Most wouldn't know the difference there though. Legend does some resin A-10 seats, though they weren't the greatest of quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scargsy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Oooh I'm up for this - always nice to build some British armour (wifey getting worried by the number of Panzers taking over ) I've also got a Tornado kit that I was meaning to do in the GB but haven't got around to, so a 2nd chance to get it done started would be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 oh dear, I just realised I put my hand up for this (was checking the Holy Spreadsheet)......I really have to learn some proper self-control ......... someday! I was going with the idea of a F-14A, again part of my VF-31 SIG build, but there's also the F-14 STGB later.......so I may leave one of them for that (have A & D models). So what to build now....I'll soon have a M551 and M1A2 SEP in my hot sticky hands (but dam the Abrams is the later model.....does this mean I have to buy a M1A1 as well? )...... ........guess I could go with an A-10......or maybe an Apache chopper to satisfy my current chopper addiction..........or I could just build the F-14 as planned....... or maybe I should think of something else........or maybe....... Dam you Enzo for coming up with good ideas!!!! ......and me for having no willpower! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Pigwa Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I need some inspiration. I am looking at the list of aircraft participating in the conflict and find to my horror none which I want or can build ATM. My preference would be: - A OV-1 Mohawk (but I lack the IsraDecals to convert the verenable Hasegawa OV-1B kit into a OV-1D) - A F_4G Wild Weasel (but I don't see any kits available in my vicinity ATM) - A OV-10D+ (also an availability issue of kits - also I#d rather build the 10G version) - AN EKA-3B Skywarrior (Found a kit on ebay - outprices even the Hasegawa F-111) - An AV-8B Harrier II (as above, particularly if one is aiming for one of the Hasegawa kits) Most of the other aircraft I have in the stash are either earmarked for another scheme/loadout, have been out of service in 1991 , or not in service yet, or had the "wrong" scheme in during the shenanigans in the desert (like the Apaches or Thunderboldts) Currently the most likely entries are - either a Mirage 2000C or a SEPECAT Jaguar or a F/A-18C.

desert falcon Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So while trolls and fairies are causing havoc in the bunfight poll, thanks to the power of @Enzo Matrix, there are now only 7 weeks till the Desert Storm GB will be on! And right in time, I was fortunate enough to get some new reading materials for my birthday (ordered it myself on Amazon 😎). Though I have only had time to have a quick look at the illustrations, the “Desert Storm” book seems very relevant for this GB. But even the “Hot skies over Yemen”, got some very nice colour graphics of some of the very same aircrafts which took part in the Gulf War. Seems like I had this GB in mind even before it was suggested, as most of my (limited) stash would qualify: - MH-53E Sea Dragon, US Navy - Mirage 2000EAD, UAE Air Force - Tornado GR.1, RAF - A-6E TRAM Intruder, USMC - A10 Thunderbolt, USAF - F-16E Desert Falcon, UAE Air Force And no, I will not build them all !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisj2003 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Assuming the provisional schedule of GBs doesn't change I would like to take part in this with Hasegawa 1/72 F-4E from 3rd TFW PACAF; deployed to Turkey; if it fits? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Oops... I just ran into a thread about (Academy 1:72) F-15C MSIP:s and it said these (the real ones) were quickly dispatched to the Gulf before Desert Storm. I have one kit in my stash I've been trying to trade for more than a year now and as it doesn't move I might as well keep it. If a kind fellow Britmodeller could help me and tell me which decal set I should get to replace the Oregon ANG set, I might slide into this too .

Jabba Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If you go to www.dstorm.eu and then onto their decals section and scroll down to the area for the F-15C, it will give you all the information that you require. I am not sure if most of the sheets stated there are available, but you can get some idea. If you are still unable to find something you can always have a look in the sites "planes and nose art" which will give you all the F-15Cs that went to the area and you maybe able to cobble something together using an ordinary F-15C decal sheet. Sorry I am somehow unable to put up links, but I hope that this is of some help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalbert Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It is going to be a Nimrod from me, XV244 "Battle Star 42" based at Seeb during the war. Despite working with Nimrods at both Kinloss and Northwood she is the only one I ever got chance to fly in so I have to honor her accordingly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) ok I'm now at a bit of a loss what to build for this one having checked the rules (????? ). I've been trying to figure out the dates as it now looks like my current planned build is now ineligible, VF-31 F-14A's were only part of the following Southern Watch, which started 1992. There seems to be some variation in Wiki (no surprise) over these dates or is it how the services decided when Desert Storm started? Wiki lists USN Op's for Desert Storm were Oct90 to Apr91, with Carriers: USS Midway - 02Oct90 - 17Apr91 USS Saratoga - 07Aug90 -28Mar91 USS Ranger - 08Dec90 - 08Jun91 USS America - 28Dec90 - 18Apr91 USS John F. Kennedy - 15Aug90 - 28Mar91 USS Theodore Roosevelt - 28Dec90 - 28Jun91 But go to Wiki just for the Desert Storm Op and it only listed the date 17Jan91 to 28Feb91......so those are the dates I take it were working too? My wee planned tank, well someone else is building the exact same model and my stash actually doesn't have any other suitable builds.......plus now that the ANZAC GB is on at the same time and I can't NOT build in that one. Then I may sit this one out...for the moment. Edited December 4, 2020 by trickyrich had date wrong, would have been 91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you have knowledge/pics of their "towed radar decoy" which was supposedly installed/used during Gulf war ? Keeping my fingers crossed for all your builds and will be watching them closely. If you will need any info/advice/pics, do not hesitate and contact me please :) Regards Jakub, the Gulf war freak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
