"What if" Group Build.....

[Lucky13]

I did NOT know that Israel considered for quite some time buying the J-29! Quite nice camouflage too....!

Now, think that a "what if" group build is in the pipe soon....



I'll have to add a 1/48 J29 and the TSR-2 that Sweden was thinking of buying to my Christmas wish list for Santa this year!

Sounds intersting Jan...the RAAF were going to buy the TSR-2 aswell, so there's another real possibility!

What are the rules to the build?

[Lucky13]

Hmmm.....good question mate! Any suggestions? I'm already having one in mind. In my other thread, I have a couple of "what if" P-47M and Spitfire as an Allied version of JV44's and their famous Dora's of the "Platzschutzstaffel"...

Sounds colourful! This one could maybe include the Luftwaffe '46 types (Ho IX etc..) ?

Why not make it open? I'd suggest that the only constraints are that it should be plausible, rather than 'over the top' with 'hybrid' types. In other words, no cross between a Hunter and a Draken, for example. It would be nice if there were also 'believable' stories/scenarios behind the subject, such as the RAAF consiering the TSR 2, and 'what if' they had bought them, and so on.
Count me in, as I've already got a couple of things on a list... RAF F5, Luftwaffe licence-built Zero, RAF F111 etc.
Now, how do I obtain much more room in my house.......

Humm, if Jan is going for what if then he should build this one. For some reason the number seems familar.

Then again this is unusal also

An Israeli B-17??? I've never heard of that one Paul! Have they modified the nose turret with some form of radar too?

I like the idea as Terry laid out. I'll drop my Horten IX in if that's alright Jan.

I didn't know Israel had a B17 either! BTW, has somebody stolen its tail?

Thats correct it mounted an AN/APS 4 nose mounted radar for maritine use.

Hi Terry, the tail was removed by Israil censorship. By the way you might find this familiar.

Interesting Paul, thanks!

Btw, why did they censor the tail? To obscure the serial number?

I have some Irish Air Corps decals I want to use on something. I'd be up for a what-if!

[Lucky13]

Have a few those fighters etc., that Sweden wanted to buy before WWII....but, due to historic events, well you know. Just need to find out which were on our shopping list.

A Wellington and F-16 in RNZAF colours...Phantom in RAAF scheme...
