Thanks a lot - not sure what I would be building tbh, but it could very well be something with a middle eastern theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Pigwa Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks to everyone who signed up so far. I am sure this will be a cracking STGB once we get the numbets. We have almost every user of the jet accounted for already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Please add me to the list. I started this one in the last F/A-18 STGB but, after a blunder with the paint, I failed to complete it on time. I did go on to finish it a couple of years later as part of the KUTA VII group build though. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr And this 1/144 scale carrier scene was my last attempt at an -18. by John L, on Flickr I have several more kits in the stash in 1/72 and 1/144 scales, and it would be great to finish another one for the collection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 As far as I see only the spanish F-18s are not yet present - any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the skies, Air defences were up, with electronic eyes. Combat pilots were nestled in ready-room beds, As enemy silhouettes danced in their heads. Every jet on the apron, each SAM in its tube, Was triply-redundant, linked to the Blue Cube, And ELINT and AWACS gave coverage so dense That nothing that flew could slip through our defence. When out of the klaxon arose such a clatter I dashed to the screen to see what was the matter; I increased the gain and then, quick as a flash, Fine-adjusted the filters to damp out the hash. And there found the source of the warning we’d heeded: An incoming blip, by eight escorts preceded. “Alert status red!” went the word down the wire, As we gave every system the codes that meant “FIRE!” On Aegis! Up Patriot, Phalanx and Hawk! And scramble our fighters–let’s send the whole flock! Launch decoys and missiles! Use chaff by the yard! Get the kitchen sink up! Call the National Guard! They turned toward the target, moved toward it, converged. Till the tracks on the radar all finally merged, And the sky was lit up with a demonic light, As the foe met his fate in the high arctic night. So we sent out some recon to look for debris, Yet all that they found, both on land and on sea Were some toys, a red hat, a charred left leather boot, Broken sleigh bells, white hair, and a deer’s parachute. Now it isn’t quite Christmas, with Saint Nick shot down. There are unhappy kids in each village and town. For the Spirit of Christmas can’t hope to evade All the web of defences we’ve carefully made. But a crash program’s on: Working hard, night and day, All the elves are constructing a radar-proof sleigh. So let’s wait for next Christmas, in cheer and in health, For the future has hope: Santa’s coming by stealth! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
