  1. Brilliant creation. Great detailing. Well done,!!
  2. Weeks after the Media fallout from the recent aerial encounter over UK skies, the NATO response was swift and unambiguous Somewhere out on the Baltic Sea, just north of Estonia in the Gulf of Finland, a US Carrier strike group establishes a military presence through a joint air and sea NATO exercise designated STORMSHIELD. It was a demonstrated show of force right on Russia's doorstep, led by the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. 103,300 long tons displacement and over 1000 feet long Over at Evie, F-18s were made ready to join exercise
  3. Following the recent aerial encounter, pictures have emerged. Media outlets splash these across their pages with troubling headlines that summarise the heightening tensions Amateur photographers had captured the actual dogfight as it occured over the UK coastline described by many in the UK as 'Russian recklessness' Video footage of the missile interception and fireball were also released. Threats from Moscow continue with rumours of a number of options being considered including long range, conventional missile strikes against UK
  4. In the last update, NATO jets from Evie, after persistent warning, had just fired an Air-to-Air missile at a Russian MiG... Following that post I then I thought to myself...'well that was bloody clever'...now how the hell do I present what comes next without using graphic layering techniques or special photo rendering software (a cardinal rule I swore to myself never to break since I started doing these). Well, you'll be surprised just how creative you can get when you're truly faced with a challenge. My personal vow remains intact and hopefully I achieved the right results.
  5. Aerospace Systems Operators at RAF High Wycombe and Air Traffic Controllers at RAF(U) Swannick coordinate a collaborated response and direct the two RAF Eurofighter Typhoons to the MiG-25 Foxbat's location. The QRA pilots soon have the MiG in sight The MiG-25 spends considerable time skirting the edge of British airspace without entering. They open up Comms and issue the first verbal instruction for the MiG to depart its flight path and leave the area The MiG is unresponsive. The Typhoons close in. One lowers its landing gear to indicate a request to
  6. The frontline defence of UK skies, Evie is one of 4 QRA stations in the country. The Typhoons roll out. Within seconds of an alert these Fighters are always combat ready to respond Armed and ready the Eurofighter Typhoons will be airborne in minutes As they taxi the Typhoons receive coordinates updates from ATC On this well rehearsed procedure, the pilots have one objective...get airborne and intercept...quickly The MiG-25 skirts alongside UK airspace, with no officially filed fight plan
  7. I've been away on business for a while now and this has meant no posts here of late. Its a shame as there have been some recent big real world events that I would have loved to replicate at Evie but time has not allowed me to. Anyway just to keep things ticking over here are the beginnings of another Russian incursion to keep the good folk at Evie (and myself or course) busy A few months of relative quiet had passed when somewhere over the North Sea, a Russian MiG-25 on a reconnaissance mission deliberately strays into UK Airspace The MiG travelling South-West Heading 032 at 3
  8. This diorama has a lot going on- The landed soldiers on the beach; the exploded gun turret of the tank; the fast speed boat; the incoming overhead gunships with the "motion" rotors; the hovercraft jet spray just all add to the intensity and drama. Excellent arrangement. The waves look brilliant too. Thanks for sharing this effective piece.
  9. A KC-10 Extender, an aerial refueling tanker and military variant of the triple engine DC-10, sits on the tarmac at Evie. Part of the USAF Air Mobility Command, this is the first refueling tanker on long term assignment to Evie Air Base. The aircraft is being prepped and is now taking on fuel of its own With fuel carrying capacity of up to 356,000 lbs and cargo carrying capacity of up to 146,000 lbs this plane significantly improves Evie's operational capability. This one from the 514th Air Mobility Wing based out of
  10. Thanks for the comments SQL Modeller. The black and white was inspired by you. Thanks also for commenting phantom. Yes never too big to play : After all the recent Russian mid air action, at Evie things were pretty much back to normal and business as usual for the ground crews Aerial munitions lift vehicles were back at work loading up an array of ordinances. These heavy lift equipment were slow but methodical With oil tanker seizures in the Straits of Hormuz, anti ship missions were anticipated Wh
  11. Sadly towards the end of the last update one of those MiGs sustained a significant fall from about 7 feet up as it was being angled 'in flight'. Both tails snapped off and also damaged part of the nose with the fall . I effected some repairs and hopefully the wide camera angles in this next update will make the damage less visible. Thanks for all the comments so far guys...Here is the concluding second part... So far, Four NATO F-15s are flying North to intercept Russian MiG-29s on the tail of a Canadian C-17, working closely with NATO AWACs E-3, also out of Evie
  12. Those RKOs were groundbreaking and legendary sir so thank you. And for that comment the final shot in the next update will be in sepia...just for you!. 😉. The next one should be out in about a week from now. Yes the Lizard camo is truly awesome. Thanks for commenting.
  13. Well thank you for that southwestforests. 'Cool' from any viewpoint is good enough for me. Thanks for the encouragement. More to follow
