Jasdf Gb

Damian2 · July 11, 2007, 05:06:12 PM

*EDIT: dear mods can you please amend the title to read JSDF GB?. Thanks!*

*EDIT: I'm going to keep a peep count in this thread!*

Ok guys seeing as there is some interest in this GB I'll go ahead and make up some basic rules which we can amend/question/call into doubt etc:

1. The completed kit my depict a soldier/vehicle/unit of the Japanese Self Defence Forces (JSDF). This includes the army, airforce, navy and although not part of the JSDF structure but because I dig their schemes the Japanese Coast Guard.

2. As always the completed model MUST BE a what-if kit. I suppose variations in colours/markings are acceptable as they would qualify as a "subtle" whiff.

3. The GB will run (if approved) from the 1st of August 2007 until the 1st of November 2007.

4. Prizes. Hmmm will need to think about this one for now

PEEP COUNT:[/size] 14
Original Post:

Has anyone suggest this? HAs it been done? Can you help as I can't be arsed to use the "search" button at 02:06am??

Anyhow seeing as both Maverick and Iranian have given us such awesome JapAirSelfDefence profiles I feel we could organise a GB to build a few...

Time: between now and when the Sun turns into a small cold ball of charcoal. Or whenever we get the requisite number of people.

Cheers!

Hmm, I'll admit to a few ideas along these lines that seem tempting at the moment. The first thoughts that come to mind are a F-106J and the extreme F-4EJ-Kai proposal that included a new wing aerodynamically derived from the F-15's wing.

Sounds super cool, do you have more info?

dunno and i can't be smegged to use the search button either and its only 1515hrs
BST.

however a JASDF GB sounds fun and i think an EF-111J will be my entry. B)

lets have a long GB so that we could finish it at Christmas 2007.

Tell me about all the ideas!!

There's Mav's F-111 in Japanese Tac camo thats AWESOME! Then I want to do a Jag in Mitsubishi F-1 colours (same as F-111).

Then there's the F-16C(J) in the F-2 blue scheme...

As for dates:

If the mods say yes then how about 1st of August to the 1st of Nov '07?

ysi_maniac · July 12, 2007, 10:27:58 AM

The F-4 with F-15 wings

lancer · July 12, 2007, 01:41:30 PM

I'm up for it. Count me in

Damian2 · July 12, 2007, 01:46:00 PM

Cool looks like we're up to about 5 people so far.

Now how many more do we need?

Radish · July 12, 2007, 03:44:31 PM

Yep...why not....just ordered some Japanese decals so yeah

Damian2 · July 12, 2007, 03:58:11 PM

6 peeps!

PanzerWulff · July 12, 2007, 04:56:54 PM

I always thought a F-100 would look good in JASDF markings

Not much, I know that the McAir model designation was 98-MS and that, if you compare them, the F-4 and F-15 wings have the same root chord. You'd have to add the wheel wells to a set of F-15 wings to do this as a model, but it's not that difficult. I suspect that any such version might well also have the blown, instead of framed, windscreen.

weren't a few of the F-4E's late on in their service with the MO ANG at lambert st louis,
fitted with a 'one piece' windscreen instead of the original 3 part affair?

i am sure they were as daniel soulaines book 'phantom guardians' has a couple
of shots of these F-4E's so fitted.

Can we expand it to all branches of the JSDF? Then I can do my Japanese Navy CVN :ar:

Howard of Effingham · July 13, 2007, 04:26:39 AM

we also need someone who can cope with a photograph of my entry being sent to
them in the post and them posting it up here for me.

nev, a JMSDF CVN is a very good idea! as you may know the USN carrier forward based
in japan is due to change from a CV to a CVN this year i think. uss george washington
has been mentioned. B)
