And Florennes Airbase is tied to the city of Chimay, the reason of the red shield adorned with a gold sword on the tail of the F-16's. That's the coat of arm of Chimay !!

Corsaircorp Yes, CC, 12 years ago, for TLP, first and only time I was detached to Belgium. I spent most of my time operating the squadron kitchen with two other aircraft techs during the week, enjoying Chimay in the evenings and sightseeing during the weekends! Good times and seems like yesterday! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsaircorp Is this Chimay really on the tail of Belgian F-16? If so I must make one. There are different labels, different colours, single, double, TRIPLE!!!, Trappiste... Then, of course, we could discuss Duval !! I'm not sure how many Britmodellers know the joys of Belgium 🇧🇪 Best regards TonyT PS: Framboise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know that it has been tagged on some visiting foreign aircrafts, remember seeing a Harrier with this coat of arm after an airshow Be carefull with the Duvel, it is from the flemish word Duyvel, that mean devil.

CC Thanks CC. I am always doing this but this time I have the gut feeling I have done myself some longer term harm. I am not looking forward to the inevitable interview with my doctor. She is not going to be impressed to say the least. That is some very fine surgery on those clear parts indeed. Martian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks Martian, Still, I must clean up the clear parts and then adjust it for an opened turret Try to take some rest, I know it's easier to say than to do... Actually. Hope that I can model this evening since my son must come to pick up his dog ! 3 dogs even for a 15 days, it is a bit too much for my patience See you later Sincerely.
