                                                   ***English Translation:

  In the late 1990s, the USAF recognised the need for a new electronics warfare aircraft. The F-111 had been withdrawn from service, and using Navy EA-6s made them see red, so they turned to the ultimate solution to all problems Air Force related: the Tweet!

  Adding a radome atop the plane allowed the carriage of a huge tranmission antenna, and the plane was crammed with the latest in hugh powered jammers and elint gear. The most qualified gamers were recruited to operate the highly complex onboard systems, and eventually, due to their annoying nattering, the pilots were replaced with Microsoft Flight qualified gamers as well. Soon, they were kicking butt at Red Flag, jamming F-22 systems and even taking over the aircraft. They even managed to defeat famed Russian hackers employed by the Russian airforce, and no Sukhoi was safe from their mocking laughter!

  Seen here is the personal mount of the famed crew "Pwner" and "Haxxor". They are the top scoring crew of the Leet Tweet, having amassed 15 F-22s and 21 Sukhois during a one day run in Europe.

  Alas, it all ended when they couldn't shut up about being leet haxxors, and got beat up one night at a Nellis bar by very large, and very drunken REAL pilots!

  The kit used is the venerable Monogram 1/48 scale A-37, with a radome from a 1/72 Fujimi Hawkeye. The "generator pods" were actually the ordinance that came with the tweet, with turbine spinners added to the front of them to give the effect of generators. I had actually bought at EF-18G growler to get the pods needed, but the Tweet lacks the ground clearance, so i had to use the kits' bombs and such. The onboard computer is scratch built. 

  The decals were run off on my inkjet printer, including Trogdor! the Burninator. Gotta LOVE that Trogdor, nobody burns da noobs like him!

  Finally, the ultimate Tweet! And thus, there shalt be no more arguements as to who is the best, be it Eagle or Raptor or MiG or Sukhoi, as it is the Mighty Tweet! 

  This model is the result of one of those pointless fanboy fights about which plane is best, and those on ARC who try to calm things down with a sense of humour. Somebody asked when a pic of a Tweet with a pancake on it's head would be posted, and somebody posted this. I was sure I could do one better, however, and now you have it: A Tweet with a pancake on it's head!
