Ian Shumsky Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Would a Russian Kamov Ka-50 Hokum be acceptable, or would it depend on payload? I'm planning on a double build of the Dragon and Italeri 1/72 offerings as my first entry to the GB... Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I see the Spitfire in that list ... that's one type I would not have expected - late model Hurricanes, yes, and maybe Seafires (gunnery spotters) but Spitfires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Shumsky Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 No Means a definitive list but may help out with CAS types LINKY Interesting list -- I see some attack helos in there, but not all. I would have thought the likes of AH-1W Cobra and AH-64 Apache would have been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I see the Spitfire in that list ... that's one type I would not have expected - late model Hurricanes, yes, and maybe Seafires (gunnery spotters) but Spitfires? They did an awful lot of CAS in 43, 44 and 45, especially in Italy but all over Europe really. With the Luftwaffe just about bankrupt, any of the allied fighters that could sling a bomb got involved in the ground war. http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Spitfire/MkVc-T...ly-1943-01.html Edited June 30, 2012 by per ardua ad ostentationem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killingholme Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi all, Could I ask for advice? I am building a Marines Corsair (F4-U5) based in Korea. I was wondering how CAS actually worked in the Korean war. I assume they had spotter aircaft observing enemy positions as well as getting radio contact from the troops on the ground? What sort of Aircraft did the US Marines/ Navy/ Airforce use to identify targets for the Corsairs? Were any other aircraft involved in the process of selecting and eliminating targets during this war? I quite fancy the idea of building a 'mini collection' of models themed on CAS operations during the war. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is it too late to join in with this Harrier? Plan is to build as in flight. I'll need some research help - but I'd like to build a Falklands War aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I'm pretty sure the British and Commonwealth contingent used Austers and I think the US was similar (Cessna and Piper light utility a/c). From what I've read it was similar to the 'cab-rank' system used in France after D-day - patrol fully armed and use when called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
