And here he takes a fly over of his sub, nearing completion.

So Dr Cama, we meet again.

Over the last few days the Balzac Self Defence Force has reportedly been tracking
foreign underwater activity.
BSDF units have been seen operating off the S.W. coast of Balzac.
Many helicopters and even a C130 descended on the small grass airfield on the island of Mall.

The weather has been getting poor and only the twin engined Panthers are flying after dark.
The new NH90's are noticeably absent, still not operational!

Good job we kept the Huey's going a little longer.

UH1's, Bell 206 and the newer AS565 Panthers have been covering the many miles of the rugged bays and coves.

7.62,,, your airport scene looks awesome. Thanks for sharing it.

The hunt for red November continues.
The BSDF fixed wing operations have ramped up at the local regional airport in the S.W. of Balzac.
Sunday has seen the Defence Minister arrive to see first hand the on going operations.

VIP's just always show up when you are trying to get a job done.

Taking up valuable ramp space next to the Saab 2000 AEW&C's

The Saab's have been flying around the clock. Great for surface search but lacking in the ASW field.

If only we had added the Saab Maritime Patrol aircraft at the same time as the AEW&C we would have had a much easier time looking for a periscope in the Ocean.

But the PM needed a new ride.

Thanks Allen, it's a good job my camera is crap.
Airfield is broken down right now this is just some cards and grass boards.
Love the Patriot set up. I must get some up to date SAM systems.

Cama's Heli is much better than any of mine.

Thanks Cama.
All helicopters are GHQ. Some are getting abit old, Having a hell of a time with 3 colour camo. The Day glow just did not work.

Lots of 1/300 aircraft on ebay, also a nice 727 in 1/280.
Saab was a kit bash of mine.
Building are just card, same with the ramp area here.

On foam boards 12"X12". just for today.

I did have a large airfield on 18"x24" boards some time ago but broken down now.
Hope to rebuild a door size airport next year as a display maybe with lighting etc.

Major change in armour at the moment (thanks to Chris) big painting pile for the Winter.
kind of Finn/Swiss/Swed mix.

That always makes me wonder why, in real life, do they go to great lengths to camouflage a plane then paint parts of the plane really bright to make sure people can see it?

Nuts?

Normally just the training aircraft.
Day glow 3M peel and stick material can quickly be removed if needed.

Lets everyone else give them plenty of space.
Since the student pilot is just trying fly ......or looking at map, looking at wrong map, picking up map from the floor, trying to get map from back seat, trying to get radio to work on wrong frequency, showing off over girlfriends house etc.

After Allens effort on making that Patriot battery look 100%.
Here is my 3% effort after giving up on a custom built AA upgrade today.

XA-180 with Crotale NG

M163A3+ with RBS70

Can't face the 3 colour camo today, maybe tomorrow.
OK 2% effort.

cama wrote:Nice work! What's the AA add-on in the first pic? Is that the ADATS turret? It looks familiar!

Yes that's just the plain ADATS turret on a TPZ-1.

The ADATS body went to the Vulcan upgrade (as A3)
Cheap upgrade from the "to do box".

Mick, 7.62
Your airport is great, like the planes and the story line. Makes it come alive. Seems several of us do not have enough gamers nearby, so we develop terrain and take pics; models/modeling if you will.

But I am not trading with you any more, it is too your advantage with your airport and your air power with your detection capability. Hope you enjoy the Panther and Hueys. Well I might trade...I do have more.

I like the XA-180, I am using the Chinese 6x6 apc for the XA. Although I only have a few different machine gun mounts on mine. Like the C-130, Panther & Huey. I have Coast Guard C-130 that is bigger than my other C-130s.

Cama, enjoy the sub & helo. Nice story line, ya'll might consider writing story together and come out with a line of merchandise, or use GHQs stuff.

Chris

Austin and Felicity deployed.

I think I picked them up in the UK (Scotia from Scotland?)
No way I could paint a 1/285 bikini with my eye sight. Lucky to get the right side of Austins 747

Still one of my favorite movies

A funny note. In Brazill the movie with Austin was titled "Austin Powers - O Agent Bond cama"

It played on the sound of bond and bom de (good at something). Cama means bed

Ob's stuermt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht,
Der Tag gluehend heiss, oder eiskalt die Nacht,
Bestaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn, JA, UNSER SINN!

Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin.

Mit donnerndem Motor, geschwind wie der Blitz,
Dem Feinde entgegen, im Panzer geschuetzt
Voraus den Kameraden, Im Kampfe ganz allein, JA, GANZ ALLEIN!

So stossen wir tief in die feindlichen Reih'n!

Or, for the Germanically challenged among us:

In storm or in snow, or when sun smiles on us,
The day burning hot, or the icy cold of night.
Dusty are our faces, but joyful is our mind, YES, IS OUR MIND!

Our tank, it is roaring in the storm's wind.

With thundering engines, fast as lightning bolts,
We move to the enemy, protected in the tank,
Ahead of all our comrades, in battle all alone, YES, ALL ALONE!

We find ourselves deep in enemy lines!

(Any errors are mine, and mine alone.)

Show us yer stuff!
