Okay, time to make the next unit the Saudi Arabia SAM Shahine (Crotale) system.

This is reenactment of 1989 Gulf of Sidra Incident with some real footage On 4 January 1989, two United States Navy F-14 Tomcats shot down two Soviet manufactured Libyan MiG-23 Floggers which the Americans believed were attempting to engage them, as had happened eight years prior during the Gulf of Sidra incident, in 1981. The engagement took place over the Mediterranean Sea about 40 miles (64 km) north of Tobruk, Libya.

Outstanding!

Just remembered the harness release button, I don't have a Russian one, so this will do.

I just completed adding the seat harnesses, and I think it good enough for me. Two pilots will be coming soon after final testing.

I will do that no problem

more photos for the suit, I need to work on the helmet I have started the model but it's not perfect yet.

Thank for the information I may do another one with this suit

This is the one I have modeled this after VKK-6M and these are the photos That I modeled from. I may be mistaken but its there and I have seen a lot of Russian pilots and Vietnamese using it.

Thanks to Coupi for testing and sending this video

New project the Mistral Man-portable air-defense systems

Congrats!

Looking great m8

Excellent job with the skin

Since I can't go to work for the last month, there is nothing to do except creating models and get full pay from work.

I have completed the operates for the unit using Fuse software.

Thanks to Coupi this wouldn't happen.

Completed the model next I need to make the operator

Excellent that will be mounted, I will see what I can do.

excellent, what you think i should do model one or two of them? I have already started modelling the standard one

I found there are two deferents photos for the missile launching unit, can someone explain to me what is the difference between the two?
