Derived from Anchorman, talking about a cologne “…panther: 60% of the time it works every time.”

The Ranger Body Armor plates were an interesting shape. -

How do you know which rail is required for the ordnance?

Ground Panoramic NVG were derived from the aviation goggles. Having used a fair number of NODs (-5, -7, -14, -15, -21, -31, F5050, F5032, GPNVG, ANVIS-6, NYX, TYTO, Mini-N/SEAS etc.), I’m not a fan of GPNVG, especially when driving a vehicle with doors/windows fitted. You bump the goggle into the window when trying to scan. -
That looks really good. Molding things like the boom in one piece enables them to include raised rivet detail that won’t be damaged by joining & sanding halves. Very clever.

I think you’re being a little harsh on yourself - this is looking really good!

I’m just happy that there’s proof of life.
-
ah, here it is!

Was I hallucinating, or did KH announce a SH-60 variant in 1/35? ETA: found it!

Here’s the actual DOT&E report. http://www.dote.osd.mil/pub/reports/FY2017/pdf/army/2017aidonlaircm.pdf I check it every year. Great detail on the CH-53K, VH-91 and lots of other programs.

I agree with Ikon - excellent perseverance to achieve a superior result! Well done.
-
Agreed. The retired Lieutenant Colonel did a great job of keeping his cool. Both parts are interesting listening, that's for sure. "When I was designing the F-16..." "before it (the F-16) got bloated.." etc. smh That the LTC had flown early model F-16 made his opinions on relative performance even more appropriate!

There was a RAF pilot - in a RN Harrier, seconded to a RN Squadron - who got some kills in the Falklands, but most of the kills were RN pilots, in RN aircraft, in RN Squadrons, off RN ships.

If it is real, there's the question of intent, surely. Air-to-air manslaughter, perhaps? There's the F-15E that targeted an Iraqi Hind with some sort of GBU, hit with the LGB while it was hovering. That's a kill. An aircraft that happens to be hit by bomb fragments as it's taking off? Not so much. There is that accidental RAF Jaguar kill - shot down by a QRA Phantom. Again, accidental.

I am. The FAA got a Mig kill (Sea Fury) in Korea; the RAF's last kill was an Egyptian Spitfire in the 1940s. The RAF has never killed a jet air-to-air.

He posted a pic on their forum showing masking (combination Tamiya & foil).

Does this gel with your information, Dave?

Su-22 pilot ejected safely and was rescued by Syrian special forces, reportedly.
-
RAF - zero air-to-air kills since 1949. RAAF - ditto since 1951.
-
Episode 4 version, too. If it had the five landing gear sets, I'd be on board.

Thanks for that pic, Ray. Quite handy.
