Just a curious question: What use did it to fly the Mi-17 when there was a CH-47 with it anyway? HAJO

Nice models, Trojan! Thanks for showing the Mach2 Squirrel - now I know that buying that model won't make much sense for me. 😉 HAJO

Ken, does the classic mode include the option to save your pictures in subfolder and gets rid of the "timeline"-order? HAJO

Wunderbar once again! HAJO

It was shown in Germany actually.... HAJO

Great! And also very interesting, I knew about the HC-130s, but the HC-97 was new to me! Thanks for that! HAJO

I have no problem with linking my pictures from imgur. But I don't like that apparently all pictures go into a big pile of "timeline" and can't be sorted into different subfolders. Usually I had all my pictures organized in their respective folder, now every set of pics I upload shows up in the list of folders with "unnamed" as folder name... I must have three dozen folder named "unnamed". HAJO

Have you tried contacting HaHen directly? I had the same problem with a decalset of him last year (out of stock). I sent him an email and he reprinted and sent me the set I was requesting! HAJO

Have you tried the hobby-shop locator site on scalemates.com? I didn't checked the region myself, but maybe their database reveals something... HAJO

A W E S O M E!!!! Another great build - I'm looking forward to what the master himself will do as next project! HAJO

I'm not a fan of Facebook, either. I lurk there on a daily business, but unless I'm doing something wrong, it's structure is way too far off to something that looks and feels like a forum we have here. I like that it is nicely ordered in different subforums and that you can do searches. And that no other stuff is protruding in your way if you read in a forum. But maybe this order and rules stuff is just something me as a german fancies... 😉 Facebook is meant to keep you entertained and never leave the site - a forum is meant to communicate and show stuff. That's a difference!

We should have noticed it ourself, but it's very welcome to have a legend like Hugh stepping in and pointing it out! Nice to see you here! HAJO

I have a couple of 172 CH-53s of various brands in my stash and was waiting for new aftermarket decals for german versions, since there are virtually no offers at the moment. I finally lost my patience and inspired by Felix Troschier, I sent an email to Harald Hensel, owner of HaHen. ( https://www.hahen.com/epages/64625185.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64625185/Categories ) To my surprise, he answered my email quite quick, saying that he was indeed looking for new projects and that the CH-53s of the german armed forces are quite well documented. He welcomed my idea and promised to st

Awesome looking helo! HAJO

Oh, really sad news. The MC-130E Fulton-nose was the first aftermarket item I ever puchased.... A great guy left the modelling community! HAJO

To even add...: The forward bombs on the shoulders are +, while centerline forward are x, and exactly vice versa (shoulderline x, centerline +) on the aftwards bombs. I wonder how the ALQ-87 is mounted on the first picture, since it appears like the bomb bay doors are open...? Or ist just the port-side bay door open, and the jammer is mounted on th estarport side? HAJO

Excellent as usually! 😉 Looking forward to the progress of this one! HAJO

IIRC the issue with the three Mavericks on the A-10 was that the inner-most Maverick would burn the main landing gear tire when beeing fired - they were quite close to each other. HAJO

I'm thankful that this thread is open and allows to exchange views and positions. I have the feeling nowadays we tend to read only in our preferred "media bubbles", and miss quite a couple of things just sticking to that "cozy, fuzzy feeling" of everyone thinking in the same direction. HAJO

A lot of funny things wouldn't have happened if we had coffee in time.... 😉 HAJO

Are you sure that 532 knots are meaning a speed of 1,5nm per second(!!)? Because if you take 1 second x 60 (to get to minutes), than x 60 again (to get to hours), you'll end up with 5400nm per hour.... 😉 Hypersonics weren't invented back then.... HAJO

I built a Phantom with quite a mixed and asymmetric load-out years ago. I used the picture provided in th efollowing link as reference: HAJO

Thank you for advertising! 😉 Here is a WIP in english: HAJO

The nose gear will be fine (since it wouldn´t be necessary at all without weight), it's the main landing gear that will have to lift all that weight. 😉 HAJO

Frohe Weihnachten to everyone! HAJO
