'The Last of the Gunfighters' & 'SLUFs' (Crusaders & Corsair IIs) STGB Chat


Recommended Posts

Just for those interested, so far there are 8 STGB's that will be vying for 7 slots, so this one has a very good chance.

 

Just lucky we'll not be in the GB section, there are 33 GB's vying for 5-6 slots!!!  There will be carnage!!! :yahoo:

Well, I may not have the kit as yet but at least I have a pile of resin.

 

Kit's on the way!

Time to get shopping then, I’ll be here for this one for sure! So that’ll be an F-8E for me then… no an F-8P…no an A-7E…wait a TA-7C… or… :shrug:

Another A-7E followed me home from the LHS today.  :whistle:

Now to keep my eyes out for a re-release of a set of HAF decals.  Though what will likely happen is I'll just scab something together w/ leftovers and masks.  Not sure which version/scheme I'll do.  That's a bridge I'll worry about when I get there if I even have the time for it.

Ok the obvious question Sluf means? Short Little Ugly (er) Fella ? Or something completely different?

Yes it is exactly that, supposed to be the B-52’s lil brother. Im pretty sure it was early Air force pilots that gave the nickname.
 

B-52 = BUFF - Big ugly fat ….

A-7 = SLUF Short little ugly ….

We have Irish equivalents.

 

Biffo and Buffalo… but for some reason they the L is Laois and the o is offaly.

Hi Paul @Dansk.

Did we make it? I don't see "us" in the poll.

 

Friendly regards.

Pat.

Yes we did. (As we have the required number of entrants, and the stgb slots are not all filled so as a stgb it automatically goes forward skipping the bunfight) 👍💪

Thanks Paul. Yepee!

Er ... wait, I'm already in for 3 preselected (ST)GBs? And there are 3 more that I find interesting and will vote for. But, but ... I only build a kit or two in a year.

That's it, I'm caught.

To arms, BM's citizens! Next tuesday is THE day. :hobbyhorse:
