Anatol Pigwa 548 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Due to my fascination with the "Atomic era" I'd like to propose the following topic: Anything powered by nuclear reactors or carrying nuclear payloads over air, land, sea and space. What-ifs and fictional projects (i.e. Ford Nucleon, Sci-Fi) are welcome. The List: 01. @Chrisj2003 02. @Ernie 03. @Adam Poultney 04. @Dansk 05. @desert falcon 06. @zebra 07. @bianfuxia 08. @exdraken 09. @Marlin 10. @At Sea 11. @dogsbody 12. @ArnoldAmbrose 13. @reini 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Chrisj2003 493 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Count me in; either a USAF ADC interceptor with Genie missiles, or a NATO TAF bomber. This could appeal to a lot of interests - V bombers + NATO v WP airforces + SSBNs + CVNs. Chris Link to post Share on other sites
Ernie 361 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Count me in! Choices would be a B-45 first U.S. jet powered nuke bomber, Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated or a nuke powered sub. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Poultney 5,385 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sounds like Vulcans I'm in 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Anatol Pigwa 548 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Welcome Chris, Ernie and Adam I look foward to the builds! Link to post Share on other sites
Dansk 5,225 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 brilliant idea for a GB! its so encompassing. (maybe you dont need what ifs even) I'm in with... maybe enola gay ...or perhaps an F-111 Link to post Share on other sites
desert falcon 893 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Cool subject, sign me up please! (this is the third GB I sign up for tonight, got a feeling 2022 could be busy as well !!) Cheers, Johnny b (aka "Nuclear Nadal") Link to post Share on other sites
zebra 8,686 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Count me in. I'd probably build an FB-111 or something from NATO with a tactical nuclear strike role - maybe a CF-104 1 Link to post Share on other sites

reini 5,157 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Loving the idea! Count me in. F-104 is high on the list, or something with Genie rockets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bianfuxia 2,278 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I'll join this one too. I have a few things in my stash that would suit including some nuclear powered subs. Link to post Share on other sites
exdraken 10,856 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Blue Steel in 1/48? Or some deliverable vehicle with adequate payload.... I'd be in! Link to post Share on other sites
Anatol Pigwa 548 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Welcome bianfuxia ans exdraken. Love to see some naval dubjects in this GB, and a Blue Steel is always a nice eyecatcher in any collection! Link to post Share on other sites
Marlin 2,614 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hi. I'd like to play too. I have a MiG-21 SMT and a F-104G with nukes loaded planned for some future builds so I guess it'll be in 2022. /Bosse 1 Link to post Share on other sites
At Sea 2,998 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm in! Scratch built 1/48 B-36 Aerial Atomic Research Lab... Just kidding. Defiantly in, but either a V-Bomber or maybe a 1/35 Davy Crockett Jeep. Link to post Share on other sites

ArnoldAmbrose 2,393 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Gidday, I could probably find something suitable. You said whifs qualify? How about a nuclear capable trebuchet? Actually, I had submarines in mind. Regards, Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites

But a trebuchet launching a nuclear grenade would surely be some kind of a model Link to post Share on other sites
ArnoldAmbrose 2,393 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Gidday, and a "One Hit Wonder!" I would imagine. Regards, Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites
ArnoldAmbrose 2,393 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Gidday, Yeah put me down with a nuke sub please. We can't have Bianfuxia supporting the naval side of this on his own. (Apologies to any other naval candidate I missed.) Regards, Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites

I might go down this route for this GB. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Anatol Pigwa 548 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Time to bump this one up. Anything nuclear goes! Link to post Share on other sites
reini 5,157 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 My name's not on the list yet as it seems - feel free to add it It's an interesting subject for sure, would be awesome to see it happen. The GB, not the nukes... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Anatol Pigwa 548 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Welcome reini, I am sure we don't want to see any nukes going of IRL, but they have been an important part of the last 75 years or so, and one has to remrmber ones history, otherwise he is deemed to repeat it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
