Marklo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I shall add my 1/144 hornet to the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 well the Meng FA-18E is on the way ..... and hopefully will be here soon!!! But it may have to wait as I found this the other day, and being my old squadron I just had to have it. So a Hasegawa Growler is on the way as well...... and probably some AM stuff as well when I get to it. She will look nice with my Phantom and RF-111C. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) On 13/12/2020 at 09:48, Mr T said: I have an Academy CF18 that is less than 25% bjilt and some nice decals so could I join please? Sure! The CF-18 are always a welcome subject. I am actually inclined to waive the 25% rule for this STGB. I find it rather daft to be honest, unless there is a prize attached, then it makes sense to "level the field" I guess. But if there are no prizes attached., whom am I to forbid you to finish/refurbish a model which might linger on the shelf of doom for ages otherwise?

Charles H Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Anatol, please add me to the F/A-18 STGB list. I'm very much a new member here, and have only recently returned to the hobby (I'm now retired) after over 25 years since my last build; my skills are very basic, but I'm eager to participate, and challenge myself to make the best model I can. I was planning on getting a Hornet next anyway, after my current build I've just started (Italeri 1:72 RAF Tornado GR. 1 [Operation Granby]).

trickyrich Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 these little goodies were waiting for me when I got home from being away with work. That new Meng model looks amazing, I'd love to build that one, but the Growler is going to be the one for the build in 6 SQN 100th anniversary scheme (note it's the RAAF's 100th Anniversary this coming Thursday). I can't wait for this build to come around 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by some miracle there's no other GB's going on at that time that interest me......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidge Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm keen. Currently working on an Eduard Superbug kit (first kit in 20 years) and am keen to give it either an RAAF or Top Gun Maverick stablemate in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This GB doesn't actually start until Jan, so you've got plenty of time to build that one and acquire another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue yet to be honest I'll have to check out who is using them maybe Luftwaffe if there are any photos of the German ones at that time or possibly USN.

coneheadff Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Unfortunately our great government decided not to purchase Hornets, but to get more Typhoons. So no German Hornets 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano353 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Ah right ok I guess we will see, are what ifs acceptable on a group build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi Deano What-ifs are acceptable as far as color schemes, user nations, and loadouts go. So if you want to do a Swedish F/A-18 in splinter camo and an RBS-15 loadout, or even an Ace Combat or Idolmaster one thaat's fine. Does this answer your question?

Navy Bird Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sign me up. I have the Hasegawa F/A-18F which I'd like to do in VFA-2 colours, the Revell F/A-18E in VFA-31 regalia, or maybe even the old Hasegawa F/A-18A which I could do in a variety of flavours (CAF comes to mind). All in the proper scale of course. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Not seeing me on the list so we better rectify that, I have several options for this. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_W Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Also sign me up. I'll be doing either Kinetic's 1/48 F/A-18A or Hasegawa's 1/48 EA-18G in RAAF markings. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
