    Are they out of hours or is a possible sale available as an option. New Zealand, Ireland etc? Yes I know, talking bo looks! Good canvas for the wif brigade.

    Why?

    They do not want any fighters obviously... if they wanted, they'd go for F-16s probably...

    Blimey. I always think of this as quite a modern jet but seems not!

    It is not that old actually!

    But mot a modern 4th or 5th generation either.

    A rel cheap an simple support, light ground attack jet.

    Not something anyone strives for...

    As theis assigned to me, I will try my best!

     

    not much to choose from, even less so in 1/48

    , An-2....

    at least for the Albatros I found a kit with suitable decals, although the gaudy scheme will not be the one for me...

    but the Estonian 4YZgHxY.pngmarkings should do!

    just need to source them still!

     

    I have a base kit to start with, even some CMK flaps :)

    and a new ejection moulded canopy :)

    Yes, little fighter, kind of a successor to the G-91 Gina light fighter Italy and Germany had to produce numbers....

     

    Brazil still uses them, and upgraded them some time ago.

     

    I fear on a modern battlefield they are outdated, but for Afghanistan and counter ISIS I assume they were a cost effective alternative to Eurofighter and Tornado...

     

    Sad to see them go!

    Sorry but I am not sure if that matters. As far as I understood the GB it is about any NATO subject - no matter if it took part in any operation or war. If I am mistaken I can pull this out of course.

    I do not think it matters actually!

    But I just would not have thought of a Vietnam war subject either.... let's say a e.g. Rolling Thunder Thunderchief...

    But I am not the one to judge here anyone!

    Sorry, just some thoughts!

    Might be the hangar lighting, but that does seem to be quite a dark grey, so maybe a little different from the standard F-16 grays? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Looks like one of the Have Glass   "stealth" paint variants . Used on F-16 lately. Also the RDAF has some jets painted that way.
