Quite sure they actually ARE the Combat Dragon aircraft. They passed through Rota (Spain) eastbound sometime last year.

Wasn't the T-46 meant to just replace the T-37? The T-50 doesn't get any prettier with the weird spine.

"The Air Force settled on the B-21 designation as recognition that LRS-B is the first bomber of the 21st century, the statement noted." - Lame, I know!

It's alive! First flight planned for the 20th.

It is the AFV Club kit indeed. Academy also reboxed their F-5F.

"Hanoi Taxi" would be nice as well.

It's not repainted, it's part of a batch of new aircraft. I believe the order was placed in 2014.

A finished Super Étendard appeared on BM: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996084-a-girl-named-sue-148-kinetic-super-etendard/

I'm quite sure it was meant as a reply to this topic, which for some reason got locked: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=290143

Nice to see the few things that could be improved have been taken care of. The Kazakh decals are pretty cool as well. (BTW, noticed a small typo; it says 'Canpy - Inner Side' on the decalsheet)

Just saw this and thought of your GB, a nice book with the Hellenic AF order of battle and lots of good pics: http://airforce.gr/images/blog/BOOKS/ChrisLoftingbook/ChrisLoftingbook.pdf

Maybe he got rebanned already? :P

Just saw mention that 2016 will see Boeing's 100 year anniversary as well. It'll also be 60 years since the first flight of the Mirage III, 50 years since the first flight of the Mirage F1 and 30 years since the first flight of the Rafale so maybe some sort of Dassault GB could be of interest?

If RoG can do a detailed C-54 for 40ish USD I doubt a C-130 would be in the 100USD region.

Should be this one? https://www.scalemates.com/kits/177886-revell-85-5511-f-15-strike-eagle

Hopefully this topic will give AMK some ideas. :lol:

I'm sure KH's will be the best Super Étendard... the best 1/46 scale one that is! ;)

Small correction, Algerians have a permanent MiG-25 detachment in the Western Hemisphere at Béchar/Boudghene Ben Ali Lotfi. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Boudghene+Ben+Ali+Lotfi+Airport/@31.6272898,-2.2519064,239m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0xd8558492a3a0ed3:0x1680fdd7d42f8b81!6m1!1e1

Cool Caribou pics!

Nah it was already decided that this would be the last flying season for XH558. They will only do some taxiruns in the future.

In case anyone wants to watch it, XH558 is about to take off for the last time:
