ok, this is my entry for the Grey Pride GB.

the kit will be a 1/72 Airfix Gnat, that will be an upgraded version of the Oscar EW5894 Phallus (from the movie "Hot Shots").

Back History.

following the succes of operation: slippery weasel, the navy issued for a program to upgrade and inprove the current oscar phallus fleet. in 1995, there was the new EW5894E, named the super phallus, it had varrious new equipent installed, including a new CD player/fm radio, more space for shopping, a toilet, a new playstation console for long flights and more vissible turning lights  :lol:
but serrious, the aircraft also recieved new weapon systems, such as the AIM-120, Harpoon ASM, AGM-65,...
most notable is the 20mm cannon under the fuselage, together with new grround tracking sensors.

the aircraft took of for the first time from Hickabilly AFB, with its test pilot Topper Harley at the controls. after a 30 minute flight, topper came out of the cockpit and said: "please sir, cant i take this baby home, my last one fell apart"
the navy ordered 600 EW5894E's and the first one was delivered to milly vanilly chilly willy squadron in august 1997, and started carrier operations from the USS Esses and the USS Stinkybum a few months later.

The model.

the model will be a 1/72 airfix Gnat, but as said, it will recieve some modifications.
and to the fans of hot shots, Yes, it will have the "THE NAVY" markings  ;D
as for a paint job, im thinking 2-tone grey, like the F-16's or a desert camo scheme  :mellow:

here's a teaser of the old phallus
