Anyone here interested in a weasel campaign? Kind of small the options are but I think they are pretty cool anyways.

Herchie,

Sounds like a great idea to me. The only thing is that it would have to be a late starter in the year as I have already my hands full with other campaigns at the moment.

In the stash I have a 1/72 hase F-4g in Egypt one camo (gulf war one) or, if we broaden the scope to the general SEAD mission and allow also naval aviation, an ea-6b with resin cockpit and folded wings, but along the same lines I am also looking for the perfect excuse to buy the latest ef-18g
If we stick to the WW definition I could always try my hands on an F-105G, though my skills may not be enough for the SEA camo...

In case we need to rally more people we could also broaden the scope to our "mud and earth" colleagues on Armorama and see the other end of the matter: AA artillery and SAMs...just an idea, but let's see who will respond.

Chalk one up anyhow!

I'd be up for that, got a Revell Tornado ECR in the stash.

Guess you'd have to make a list of dedicated SEAD aircraft...

F-4G
F-105G
F-16CJ
EA-6B
EA-18G
Tornado ECR

A brief internet search turned up at least a couple more from the other side of the iron curtain:

MIG-25BM Foxbat-f
SU-24M with Fantasmagoria pod (solution similar to the F-16CJ)

Also, although CAS is its primary role, I would not rule out the A-10...

Anyhow, also a friendly bump - there's only three of us so far!

I am assuming that it is an aircraft that is specifically designed for it's mission of seeking out anti-aircraft radars. During WWII each side created counter radars that would target a specific radar emission. Could a Ju 88 or a Bf 110 carrying the 'Naxos' which has a radar designed to seek out the British H2S radar be applicable? The British had their equivalent.Which is a ground mapping radar. Thanks

There was only nine interested and the campaign was never submitted so until such a time it won't become official anytime soon.
