this is how it looks in game now , i think it is good enough

i used the head from the patch and the snake body from the aircraft tail and came up with this , i hope it is acceptable

Lookin sharp Pappy - Nice work! Manditory pic:

Just hold Middle Mouse Button and rotate like you've never rotated before.

What if Yakovlev would have been allowed to develope his project Yak-35:

More "H" model Sabres from the 474th FBG. The C/O of the 474th in the colorful markings of 53-1313, 426th FBS blue markings in 53-2174, 429th FBS in yellow markings in 52-5750 and from the 430th FBS in red markings flying 52-5730.

I see I have to change the tail code; I went the "traditional" method of individual letters. Easy fix. I (re)used the stock Matra 155s, renamed and created a A-A rocket (like I did for the Scorpions) from the 68mm SNEB. The sites I saw for the 26N said 8 aircraft converted. I used generic serial, except for 2 seen in a photo, and another a profile. Easy enough to make new decals of the serials listed above. Left the wing guns in place, as we don't have a dual-50 cal gun pod. this is just one of those "make do" projects, while I'm waiting for the Vietnam 48 to be fixed by Menrva. It will, however, BE release when I'm (more or less) satisfied with it. Don't know how it'll be used in game...with no proper NW Africa terrain..sigh. this is a GREAT help!!!

Hi guys Is there a Green RN Sea King skin for the Falkland mod as the Sea Kings used during the War was green but the Sea King in the mod is blue, If there isn't one could someone create one please

Sharkey Ward was a famous sea harrier pilot in the falklands.Just had a quick play and you are looking for something like the attached pics ? (replacing the sponsons is a bit beyond my modest abilities !)

My Tigermoth templates were NOT as complete as I first thought, so I had to finish off redoing all the lines I took Lloyd's Vichy TM, and simply painted out the single number, and gate it 18 "plane-in-squad" decals. A simple, if probably NOT historycally accurate fix. I may load this as an update, if it's waranted. Menrva sent me a link to the 2 real TMs taht Boa Dai had, and became the first aircarft of the Viet Minh. But, I'd already done this one. Standard "day camo" over silver dope. 18 generic numbers More into the What If... since Mao is already sending help in the form of the Yak-9s, why would they neglect the strike/assault elements? Here's an IL-10 from the "10th Volunteer Assault Regiment" (or whatever!! :) )

Brilliant sabres Pappy mand screen

Thank You my friend!

ZA298 flew in Falklands and received damage to tail..1:52 when the 4 A4`s attacked....see here she is in retirement in RNAS Yeovilton she served in both gulf wars and in bosnia among other missions.

There is footage of the Sea Kings lifting logistics will under attack in San Carlos Water, I post when I can

Off topic but on this side of the pond.

In case it's needed, here's my translation/research dump so far October 1, 1958 Creation as Escadrille de Chasse de Nuit 1/71 (ECN 1/71) in Tébéssa (Algeria), using the means of the Escadre de Chasse 30 (EC 30) from Reims (France), inheriting the traditions of VB 135, receiving the radio callsign "Rengaine" but receiving no name Equipped with 6 MD 315R June 15, 1959 Move to Bône-les-Salines (Algeria) with permanent detachments to Oran, Méchéria, Tébéssa, El-Oued-Guelmar, Ouargla, Biskra and Bir-el-Ater September, 1959 Equipped with 6 MD 315R and 3 Meteor NF.11 January, 1960 Equipped with 9 MD 315R and 6 Meteor NF.11 May, 1961 Arrival of the first B-26N October, 1961 Retirement of the Meteor Equipped with 9 MD 315R and 6 B-26N November 4, 1961 Transformed into the Escadron de Chasse de Nuit 1/71 (ECN 1/71) July, 1962 Moved back to Reims (France) August 31, 1962 Dissolution of the unit Known planes Meteor NF.11 NF11-41 346-QN Meteor NF.11 NF11-19 346-QC Meteor NF.11 NF11-38 (?346-Q?)Z B-26N 42-32579 B-26N 44-34213 B-26N 43-22609 B-26N 44-35926 MD 315R 13 MD 315R 15 MD 315R 24 MD 315R 26 MD 315R 32 MD 315R 70 All B-26N have a N tailcode. Reminder, the Armée de l'Air's organization at the time (and still today), doesn't follow exactly the US/UK schemes; to simplify it's using the Escadrille/Escadron/Escadre levels, instead of the Squadron/Group/Wing ones. An Escadrille is a smaller unit than a Squadron, usually the equivalent of two flights. It's not a subdivision of an Escadron, but an Escadre, it's at the same level as the Escadron for most purposes, just a smaller unit. An Escadron is usually a larger unit than a Squadron, usually regrouping the equivalent of 2 to 4 Escadrilles, it's the new name of what was once known as a Groupe and is close to US WW2 Groups. An Escadron doesn't have Escadrille subdivisions on an organisational level, some may be considered to have Escadrilles, but mostly as a way to carry traditions of multiple units within a single organisational unit. An Escadre is the largest unit below the Commandement (at that time) and is roughly the equivalent of a Wing. In the present case, the change from an Escadrille to an Escadron is mostly administrative, apparently changing nothing in terms of personel or planes available.

and to get capuns if they got one ,like asking George H Bush to tell truth...or his son,not to say stupid things like "More and more of our imports are from abroad now"

I am glad you liked the quote. I have added some captions to the tank picture. Hope you like it as much. !

while i wasnt at Bastion, that brings back memories. the tents, AC units, and t barriers are pretty common to anyone whose gone to that place called Southwest Asia and while at Kandahar, i liked to hang out on the Brit side more than the US. often cheaper stuff; smokes at the NAAFI, coffee at that shop and gettin pies and Irn Bru at Heroes. pretty good stories too once the guys figured out they didnt have to behave round this Yank better sense of humor than the folks AAFES brought in too. a funny memory of the year was buying cigarettes at the NAAFI (Brit PX). NOTE: European cigarette warning labels do not say "The Surgeon General says...." but rather "SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU" so, my clerk at the register asks me if i want SMOKING IS BAD FOR THE SKIN or SMOKERS DIE YOUNGER the thing you find funny some days. and i picked die younger.

Two two-seater Varks getting out of East Germany... and on to the secondary target of T-72s:

Four flavors in the works

Bravo. If assistance is needed I can offer some help as well. promise I will be forbearing.

Modelling software is out there and accesible for free...blender...for example...maybe if some learned to model we might have more of what people want....some are too busy to drop stuff and remodel old stuff....just an idea. I knew fuck all about moels ,but after some tutorials such as mustangs....I learnt quick....and was able to get out basic models quite soon thereafter ie Tjet and the moth and early P47 N version so its doable im NOT having a go or a moan ,just its easy once you know basics of 3ds max....and each time you make summat you find ways to do it better and quicker....im by no stretch of the imagination an expert...still amateur,but im happy with most of what I do....and still learning. if you decide to try....watch tutorials...there are great simple ones out there...they even supply model to try and to look at to see how its done.... if people willing to try im willing to offer any assistance,as im sure will other modders.

by the way, if we are around pilot stuff... ....wife sometimes asks me - why my co-pilots are so SquarePantish-SpongeBobish so I 'un-square' things little...
