Hey guys, I've had to edit a bunch of posts on this thread for adult language. Please keep in mind that some members read the forum with their children and we also get minors checking out the board as guests. Also, please be careful to adhere to the forum rules. Sometimes what may be meant as a joke or in jest may not be takes as such. If you want to toss around insults or start an argument with someone, take it elsewhere.

Thank you. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

What magnificent models! Truly deserving of praise! Thanks for adding them here, actually I didn't know that Faker had already been used by someone on the forum...

I have to admit that BULLSHIT or FATSO are kind of borderline...

BULLSHOT nearly became the reporting name for the Tu-22, what was eventually settled on to be BLINDER. They thought that was too borderline.

This came about because they thought BEAUTY was too flattering.

Oh, I like this thread - my wife will really wonder about me as I laugh at the list.   :blink:

FLIGHTY, FRIDGED, FREAK, COWPIE, CRABBY, CRAPPIE (an American freshwater gamefish), CORNPONE, BOZO, BEAVIS, BUTTHEAD, BUFFALOCHIP, HORSEFEATHER, HOSER, HAPPYHAPPYJOYJOY(this last one would be good for a dual rotor helicopter)...  Hopefully, none of these are over the "line."

I'm sure there are many more NATO reporting names to be made up!  ;D

How about a helo for use in undeveloped country areas called a HICK?

A very expensive fighter called a FORKOUT?

A two-seat trainer called a MORON?

A bomber with defective navigation gear called a BLUNDER?

A bomber version of the MiG-25 with defective nav. gear called a BLINDBAT?

Seems appropiately to be good NATO reporting names, in my opinion. NATO occasionly gives disparaging codenames to some aircraft,i.e. Tu-26 "Backfire" & Mig-15, while also giving some good names,i.e. Mig-29 "Fulcrum & Tu-95 "Bear".

On thing that needs to be remembered is that jets have two syllable names and props have only one. Turbo-props, like the BEAR, count as props for this.

NATO didn't have any class for three syllable names. Perhaps that would have been for gliders? :)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Folks, I don't want to water down your enthusiasm, but the purpose was to come up with BELIEVABLE NAMES...  :lol:

Real names are usually neither too derogatory NOR too laudatory. Most of the time they are amusing but not ridiculous either! AND they are mostly two syllables... Now if you want to create a whiff model fighter and call it FLIPPETYFLOPFLOP I really have nothing against it, but it won't sound REALISTIC, that's all!

There is a reason for the two syllable names.  According to the NATO standards, one syllable names are used for prop driven a/c (including turboprops) and the two syllable names are for jet powered a/c.  HTH.

I used "Fluffy" as the name for my modified A-7 for the Sovietize It GB.  See here:
