Gepard

Nice. It is the widely used version BTR-60PB. The basic version BTR-60P had had no turret. Here a part of an east german military movie, which shows BTR-60PB in normal military use. Its from 1976, the soundtrack is typical 70th annoyingly.

It will be an eye candy!

I'm glad, that you enjoyed my "Tyko". The book "Kampfflugzeuge der NVA" is more detailed. You will find some new, up today tot published photos in it. For example the interception of a helicopter by a MiG-29. Such trainings were standard for east german fighter pilots from begin of MiG-21 use, till the end in 1989. You will also find a lot of informations about the development of the single types of fighter and fighterbomber planes. Hope you enjoy my book too.

I love it!!!!

Could you give us a BTR-82A, please? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTR-80#/media/File:Interpolitex_2011_(402-41).jpg

Yes, so it is. Its the X-31, very nice bird. Its a pity, that it never entered the troop service. Simple, easy, high agile and resonabled priced, it could have been perfect for Air Forces of smaller countries, like Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Danmark and, and, and.

Das Buch ist erschienen. Ich habe heute die Belegexemplare erhalten.

And the germans now:

An now the final shadow recon question: Which plane is this:

The correct answer was L-39 Albatros. In this case L-39ZO.

Mirage 4000A over the Shetlands (WIP terrain)

Nice work. Well done.

Now my forth shadow recon quest: What's that?

It was the Ye-8. The prototype for a MiG-23 in early 60th.

Now, a new one. A lttle bit more difficult.

This was the Jag. A GR.1

Okay, next question: Whats this?

The correct answer was F-4M FGR.2

Sorry, i missed it. It was lost in translation.

Of course not. Its an early test.

Have seen the movie again. And then Rouge One again (For me the best Star Wars movie. I had always the feeling, that the story writer had read the east german tactical manual how to fight against an enemy helicopterborn landing force. ) It seems to be, that i always was on the wrong path. I always tought that Lukes X-Wing raid in the trench happend in the equatorial trench. But this seems to be wrong. The attacked trench is much smaller. Perhaps 100 m wide and 100 m deep. The trench in my DS terrain is much wider and deeper. Perhaps i shoud make crossing smaller trenches, so that the big trench stands for the big equatorial trench and the others for trench attacked by Luke. BTW, would it be allowed to call such a terrain Star Wars or Death Star terrain or would it be a violation of copyright?

I made the trench smaller. To get 90° walls will be nearly impossible I tried it to make the trench deeper. It looked so:
