Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I've been considering my entries for this one. Probably all aircraft Buccaneer S2B F-15E Currently considering whether to do a SCUD hunter or a tank plinker F/A-18 Again considering either a USMC aircraft or a Canadian CF-188 French Mirage F1 I really want to build one with that huuuuuge belly tank. I should really have an opponent in there. Maybe an Iraqi Super Etendard or Mirage F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I’ve always wanted an Enigma, perhaps this is the right excuse... 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Etendards had gone back to France by the time of the conflict being replaced by more Mirage F1s that could carry the Exocet missile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that one is out of the window then. Maybe a Mig of some description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm up for this - plenty in the stash that would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I should probably go paw through my decals and see what I already have that is eligible. I'm pretty sure my EF-111 is good to go (MO or UH...I forget). The 1/72 Jag or Tornado (GW1 boxings) are good for a backup plan. But I'm really curious what I have for USN decals. I've already got the list made of the air wings/squadrons that deployed...just need to check my decals for squadron/tail code/modex/carrier alignment w/ the time frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a guy who knocks about on these forums from time to time who would gently encourage you to build them all....so keep your voice down, if he gets wind of this... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Air Graphics decal sheet has a scheme for a CF-118A which was on CAP when it spotted an enemy naval vessel. Having no air to ground ordnance, the crew strafed the vessel and then disabled it with a Sparrow missile!!! The vessel was later sunk by USN A-6s, but the Candian Hornet thereafter carried a ship kill marking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Awesome, was looking forwards to Desert Storm GB. Good to see it's coming sooner rather than later At the moment my choice would be 1:72 Academy F-117. BTW are there any decent 1:72 F-4G kits in the market currently?

If you can find a Hasegawa one then yes, but only if. Italeri did make one but that was a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'd like to participate. Probably an F-16, Bullseye Model Aviation have a decal sheet due out which covers most of the USAF F-16's flown during combat operations. A US Navy A-6E would be another possibility.

According to that link, my Lee E-2C Hawkeye 162797 AB602, with VAW-123 Screwtops of USS America, is credited with 4 missions - I'm in. Edited: Checked - and that is what's in the box, despite the misleading boxart. Gotta say that I was really struggling to find something eligable from my stash - none of my Intruders, Eagles, or AV-8Bs qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think I should be able to convert this into something approaching an Operation Granby aircraft 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron NL-S Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A war is never just won in the air, so to balance out the fly boys in here I'll join with either an M60 or an M1. Just to get some steel on the ground. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
