Sam Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) RED AIR - Aggressor aircraft, ships, land vehicles of any country included Who would like to add another jet with one of the fancy aggressor liveries to their display shelf? They look great, and they provide valuable DACT and foreign tactics training for the „good guys“. Any jet used by any of the Red Air Units, from TOPGUN/NSAWC/NAWDC, 64th or 65th Sqdn, or even one of the private red air contractors. The original idea for this GB came from the wish to let people play with paint and colo(u)rs. And learn from each other with regards to masking, color theory, airbrushing etc. Thanks to inputs from other members I quickly decided to widen the spectrum. In order to make this GB interesting for as many of us as possible, here come the GB proposal updates: Addendum 1: All forces of the world, air, sea and land, are very welcome as well. That will be very interesting! Even a Dacia Sandero made to look like a Range Rover Vogue (so that if Clarkson, May or Hammond should happen to be on britmodeller, they can join too. That would be fun.) Addendum 2: what-ifs very welcome. Would love to host a group build, and by doing so giving something back to this great community britmodeller is. Sam Moderators: Thank you for moving the thread, thought I read the instructions well enough. Apologies. The team: 1) @Corsairfoxfouruncle 2) @Marklo 3) @Chrisj2003 4) @Jabba 5) @Col. 6) @modelling minion 7) @Wings unlevel 8.) @DaveJL Edited September 14, 2022 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Sure Ive always wanted to do an A-4, F-21, and/or F-16N you can add me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Put me down for a tentative yes as I’m fairly struck in aggressor schemes, I have an F15, two F14s an F 18 and a Skyhawk in the collection already . But I’ll have to acquire some suitable kits first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I always like to have a kit in hand when I signup for a GB and aside from a 1/72 F35!my stash is surprisingly low on Modern American kits, oh darn I will have to force myself to go shopping This is one I built earlier this year for the F18GB.

modelling minion Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Nice idea Sam. Would you be opening this up to aggressors from around the World or just US based ones? There have also been quite a few military vehicles used to play the part of the enemy including being made to look more like the vehicles they are representing. 🇺🇦 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not ground vehicles as well! That will be VERY interesting. I shall update the GB intro. Thanks for your input 👍🏽 Sam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Interesting, would what ifs be allowed (btw my F18 was one) . I ask this because I’m seeing a lot of interesting but speculative F35 aggressor schemes and the kit schemes are all grey. Oh and just rereading the proposal it’s becoming more of an ‘in disguise’ motion, would that mean that the Panthers dressed up as M10s would qualify?

The „in disguise“ offers many many interesting options. What-ifs as well. Will update the proposal text. Thanks for the valuable input!

I may end up buying one of those ugly F-35 then; at least it hasn't got the hump of the B. Or any number of JASDF F-104 / F-4 / F-15, or USAF F-5, or, or.... Please put my name down. Interesting to see if promoting this now works well with the bunfight timescale. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) With plenty of planned aggressor options in the stash I'd like to have my name on this list Sam At the moment there's six A-4, a couple F-5E, a single F-16N, and three F-15DJ (with a desire for plenty more if the chance arises). Also have a Hunter if I could find suitable decals. Edit; almost forgot the Typhoon as well. Edited September 8, 2022 by Col. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is still in the stash and deserves to be made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings unlevel Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Sign me up Sam! I might join Chris in building a 65th F-35, but I do love the JASDF F-15DJ aggressor schemes! And I will have two spare aggressor schemes on my F-5 decal sheet after I finish my F-5N build. And I’ve always had a thing for the F-16N… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
