acmodeler01 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Welcome aboard! Sounds like an interesting idea. Let's see it! Thanks for the welcome... I've been lurking around here for a little while now. Anyway, probably won't get started on this until after the new year, maybe this coming weeking I can get moving, but we'll see...

JasonB Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) A recent discussion in another thread about the JASDF pulling out of the F-22 program and getting something else has gotten me thinking about joining up.How about a JASDF Eurofighter Typhoon? Starting with the 1/48 RoG kit, add the Hasegawa JASDF weapons set (I'm thinking AAM-3, AAM-4 if they fit in the belly recesses, ASM-2 and maybe a couple of MK82 w/ GCS-1). F-2 type blues camo, and the Platz F-2A stencil sheet to provide the decals. Someone built one of those here on ARC. I saw the pics yesterday, but now I can't find where I saw them... EDIT Here it is, very cool! http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=173097 Edited December 31, 2008 by jburch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JasonB Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks. Well, if it's been done, there is no point in me redoing it. Japan has some other cool schemes as well. An agressor or white dragon Typhoon would be cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 No interest in either of those. I want an operational bird with weapons, not a show bird. Maybe I'll look into the Rafale. Rafale would be cool! Other operational schemes that should look great are those of the RF-4EJs: CLICK#1 and CLICK#2! I'm not sure whether the RoG Typhoon kits come with a recon pod, though.

oortiz10 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Can I get in with Revell's 1/48 F-15E in Whiffy camo and markings? -O Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Started working on one (could turn to two) Tomcat(s) Whifs...just had to decide what I finally wanted to do. Still test fitting ideas using cardboard, will start a thread with pics after I get more done/sober up tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 How about a A36 Apache, upgraded to P51C specs, used by the Marines to replace their old war weary Dauntlesses.... Its been in the back of my head since I talked to Supertomcowlord about it way back at the 2002 Nats in VA Beach.Now this will be something to see. We don't have too many prop birds in this group build so far so I for one would welcome a nice change of pace like this. Great idea too.Any thoughts as to how you would paint her up? Three tone blue camo maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

strikeeagle801 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Can I join in with an A-1K Skyraider II? Tamiya 1/48 A-1J with: HUD Digital cockpit (if I can scratchbuild a new IP) LASTE mods slime lights GPS dome DRA Sniper XR GBU-12's, GBU-38's and AGM-65's for offensive armament and a DRA with AIM-9M's for self defense. Basic story is that the USAF orders a squadron or two of these from Boeing for CAS duties in Iraq and A-stan. With a new-build airframe and improved engine, the extended loiter time, slow speed and large payload, these take over many of the missions flown by the faster, more labor and cost intensive F-15E, F-16 and F/A-18's. The Sandy II's will work side by side with Air Force A-10's and Marine Harriers. Although armed with Sidewinders (just in case) the non-existant air to air threat and minimal chance of ground intercept (the Sandy II's will have improved modern armor as well) they are perfect for today's modern battlefield. Hopefully between school, work and family, I'll be able to get this one done. I know it's a good kit with not a lot of fit problems or anything, so that should make it more doable. Oh yeah, it's going to be painted either overall gunship gray or gunship gray over neutral gray (ala F-16) and based out of....you guessed it...Mountain Home.

ChristopherC Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I'd like to try my hand at doing a navalised raptor of sorts. Inspired by this piece of artwork I grafted the wings of an F-111 onto a raptor (and tweaked the tailplanes to make them fit better). I reckon it looks pretty cool. I have some F-111 wings left over from my previous project, so all I need to do is find a 1/144th raptor. I'd finish it in some tomcat squadron, not sure about high or low visibility yet.

ChernayaAkula Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) That is pretty cool! :huh: You'll only have to fill/delete a few panel lines , square off the wing tips and you'll have one of the coolest swing wings designs ever!

Chris Well, also, you would need to adjust the rudders and intake angles to match the new wing/elevaotr profile, as in that configuration as shown the lines mismatch (increasing RCS) Bitchiaaaaaan idea though, can't wait to see it! :thumsbup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look on Evilbay, bboykorea is working on his feedback percentage. And MSRP is the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price. I thought since Hasegawa was repopping both the VF-22 and VF-0D you meant the new one. And as long as it isn't more than 15% done come right on in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TuveB Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm planning two "lines" of whifs. The first one is RSwAF Zeros a continuation of a whif i made for a special class a a contest here in Sweden last October. In the early 40's Sweden was to renew it's fighter aircrafts and showed interest in the Zero. The model i built was of a late service A6M2b called J20b. My friend has urged me into doing early servce versions of it and a floatplane, he didn't know of the Rufe! So two H-gawa A6M2b were picked up at the postoffice yesterday, Ed ZOOM PE and a Rufe is on their way. The second line is a couple of A-10's, i'll call them A36A and A36B. The A10 is also an aircraft type RSwAF showed interest in but never bought. In this project i've already had hours of discussions with my friend since his knowledge in swedish jets is higher than mine. This will be a singleseater (A36A) from F6 wing in the early 80's i splintercamo. The second singleseater will be from 2000 and in grey from the F10 wing. The third will be a twoseater (A36B) from the F17 wing in 2008 with greytone experimental splintercamo. The A36 is not instead of or replacement of the Viggen but a replacemt of the attackversion of the SK60 so it's a companion to the Viggen. HobbyBoss A10's are ordered.
