P-51C Mustang Tuskegee Airman - Tamiya 1/48
Angels49 replied to Jurek Greinert's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thank you for your tribute, I'm sure any of the Tuskegee guys would tell you......very well done for a build that is outstanding. -
It was a model while it remained in the box, when finished it became a classic mastierpiece......nuff said

Well that puts another loadout plan on the dung 'eap......I'm thinking of sticking with cold war jets...where if ya had....pretty much ya could load it; think I'm dingy.....on Yankee station they loaded a bloody loo on a Skyraider!!!, and dropped it....probably 'ad some guy on the ground going WTH!!!.

I'm one of those who loves to see a combat aircraft with a shed and a half of ordnance loaded up, so with that said in what situation would a Mk 7 Harrier have the guns in place on a sortie?

'ello lads it's me again with another question regarding the accuracy of a kit's parts. I'm in the later stages of a build of Tamiyas Mossie FB Mk Vi..IIRC the RAF GP bombs had a rather long ring surrounding the fins' however the ones in the kit has rings that if you'll pardon the pun comes up short. I'm no expert or officinado on the subject so I'm asking were there variants of the smaller class of bombs that had a short ring like the ones that come with the kit. I'm prepared to break out the Evergreen plasticard tubes and scratch build the ring meself. The pix I've seen leave me a bit befuddled. I'm aware that at the start of the hostilities the bombs used were from a stockpile that varied and had to be used rather that go to the expense of making more and having them go to waste, unlike the bouncing, or rolling bombs created in later years TIA mates

Grumman OV-1B Mohawk, 131st Aviation Company
Angels49 replied to russ c's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That is one very very fine build, don't laugh lads, but this one and the A-6 remind me of "Mothra" of Godzilla fame...especially this one with the way the front fuselage is designed. -

Sir........surely you gest...MoD, mis-ID'ing one of it's own.....tsk..tsk...someone at the MoD needs a crash course in Squadron Identification... "Yes Wing Commander"... "I told him to shoot, he said it had a star on the tail"....

I frequently use wikipedia for quick refs....not for firm 'ard intel, but this one has me shaking me 'ead...the bloke who wrote this doesn't know any better or doesn't care as long as the piccie is clear. I'm a diehard fan of the Goldstars...from a long time ago..and if it's one RAF Squadron markings I know it's them. So lads tell me why ikipedia would ID the aircraft in the link as a 15 Squadron aircraft when it clearly ISN'T. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado#/media/File:Image_of_a_15_Squadron_GR4_taken_over_Royal_Air_Force_Lossiemouth,_and_surrounding_countryside._MOD_45155748.jpg It's just me, but I'd prefer they had two racks of Brimstones and one GBU....they'd have more ordy to work with.
