Ravnos Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I'd love to get in on this, don't know what I'd build yet but I've got a couple of things on my wishlist that would fit so I'm sure I'll have something suitable by the time it starts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I'm a bit confused. The initial post said aircraft, but now I've seen a couple of Sci-fi ships. So, is this going to be open to any subject that's bristling with weapons. cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have something specific in mind that's wider than that, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbdave Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think this be a good excuse to add a Skyraider to the stash. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Sukhoi Berkut 1/144 Trumpeter, I’m also building a strike flanker in the same scale and it has even more stores. I’ll probably try to get one in a bigger scale for the GB if it gets out of the bunfight. Edited July 21, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'll vote for this. Maybe the old Airfix A-7 with 28 pieces of ordnance, a load-out which Matchbox shamelessly copied a few years later. Or maybe a Hasegawa A-1, the version with the toilet. Or the "new" Academy kit of the F-15E. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 How realistic has the loadout to be? There is the infamous picture of an F-111 with 48 MK 82's but this would be never a possible loadout for opertion as half otf the pzlons weren't wired for weapon release. Do weight limitations of pylons have to be observed? Is it allowed to hang weapons on hardpoints not wired for weapon release? Is it allowed to do fantasy loadouts? Oh. what the heck, count me in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Gidday Anatol, I reckon if in doubt, go for it. If it's wrong, well, as the saying goes - "Forgiveness is easier to get than permission!" 😁 Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've more or less decided what I will do for this GB - if it happens. Not the most original choices maybe, but on the other hand, neither of these things exist in my collection so they are new to me. This is the newer version of Hasegawa's F-15E. It may still be inaccurate, I don't know (or care). But it looks pretty close and this boxing comes with three pods that go on it - SNIPER, LITENING and a navigation pod (it carries either of the first two, plus the third). In keeping with BEAST MODE, I made sure to get some bombs for it and I'll add four AIM-9s as well... And then I will also do this F-14 with a full load of AIM-54 plus 2 AIM-9 - I know the six Phoenix load was reportedly only for dire circumstances but that's pretty much what BEAST MODE is for right? Dire circumstances. The HB kit comes with four Phoenix missiles so I got the Hasegawa set for another two (I also wanted the other things in the missile set for other projects). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
