Looks nice, are you going for a Czech Air Force scheme?

Those tools look great! 😃👍

And you won't like him when he's angry 🫣🤪🫣🤪
What a performative joke of a leader

My T-38 Talon sporting the Gray Greens tri-colour scheme. Still lots to do, but now I can see how it’s going to look 👀 when completed #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Finally got the paint on and the masks off for my Academy AH-1W.

Frontline November Aerostats Securing America's Borders

Yeah that could be an option, or a tethered airborne radar system.

Photos 1 and 3 look like lighter-than-air ship/blimp hangers but that's just gut instinct.

If I recall correctly Ammo has a clear primer that goes down dead flat and clear.
I vaguely remember using it years ago, before the pop top dried shut and I threw it out as I couldn't see where the primer was landing while spraying.

Looks good so far, is that the rye field version?

Yeah....
I fell in love with their mr surfacer primer last year and it's always seemed to be a problem with restocking that. Once again I'm glad to have a bit of a stash of kits to work through, but consumables though.....

Oh wonderful. Just great.
Thanks for passing this along.

So, the last 24-30 hours (open source):

F-15E lost, 1 pilot rescued
2x HH-60W damaged
A-10 damaged by Iran, crashes, pilot reported ok
F-16 Squawk 7700, Iraq. Landed safely.
MQ-9 shot down, Shiraz.
+1 possible shot down MQ-9.
2x KC-135 Squawk 7700, Israel.

Will come back to this if/when more info.

I'm really starting to fall in love with the green/grey/black AH-1W Cobra paint scheme 😍😀😍

NATO operations in/around the arctic/Russia's submarine bastion?

Before and after on the skids for the AH-1W, Academy only gives a small cylinder for the towing eyelets, which promptly broke off while attempting to drill out. It always tickles me a bit what I can print off in terms of replacements. #scalemodel #modelkits

Frank Underwood maybe?

I've finally started to feel like I'm making progress with my F-16 as it moves out of filling and sanding hell, and my AH-1W is starting to the gears turning. I cooked up some FOD plugs and a replacement 20mm muggle wand.

Behind Closed Doors, U.S. Navy Says Hormuz Escorts Are Too Dangerous—for Now The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high fo...

Behind Closed Doors, U.S. Navy Says Hormuz Escorts Are Too Dangerous—for Now

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Thanks!

I finally got my USS Coronado kit finished up.

There's a part of me that'll be surprised if he doesn't, but on the other hand he may try to argue that because of US oil and gas production and "drill baby drill" the US can survive and let global rates be everyone else's problem.
Either way, part of me wishes i owned and EV rn

Drop something green, #scalemodels #scalemodel #histscalemodels

*long quiet*

*gentle rustling breeze*

*uncomfortable silence*

Me: does this mean the F-15 perfect A2A record is toast?

This is starting to feel like Nov-Dec 2021 RU build-up vibes. Just instead of vk videos of train crossings with miles of AFVs, its ADSB tracks. Combined with alternating hollow statements and slowly escalating rhetoric...

If you've been watching the ongoing Epstein files unraveling across Europe, note that the dominoes didn't start falling until one fell. And then another. Finally, the momentum in societies shifted.

It will be the same within this administration. They have to remain united.

Lest one domino fall.

Thanks!
