"More Modern Aircraft Finished" Topic

All,

In case you thought I've forgotten about my dogfighting project, here's proof it's still in motion (yes, KG Klink has once again taken center stage though). I recently received an order from Picoarmor and have been steadfastly working on them, though there is still work to do.

Here's the whole mess. I've gotten 32 finished, while 32 more have been primed and had magnets affixed, and six more have only been primed (I need to buy more magnets). In the waiting line above are four Israeli Mirage IIIs, four USMC AV-8 Harriers, four F-4 Phantoms (not sure what to do with them; looking at a Cold War gray, maybe USN gray, not sure), six more F-15s, four more MiG-29s, four MiG-23s, and four Su-27s.

On a side note, upstairs I have a boatload of USAF (F-4s, F-105s, A-1 Skyraiders), USN (F-4s, F-8s, A-4s, A-6s, A-7s, RA-5s, E-1Bs, SH-3s), and PAVN (MiG-17s, MiG-19s, MiG-21s) aircraft for Vietnam in various states of undress, F-86s and MiG-15s for MiG Alley primed, a bunch of USN and IJA/IJN for Pacific WWII, some Flying Tigers and early war bombers for China WWII, and some more Battle of Britain that need to be finished.

A hint at what's coming ;)

Well, I've got a bunch more stuff to get written up, stay tuned.

Great looking stuff, I really like how you've done the modern US multi-gray scheme on the F-15s. I was just getting some F-22s ready and was trying to figure out how many grays I wanted to do, it looks like the real things use four.

Yeah really nice!

I particularly love the Falklands stuff. The Mirages and Harriers look great. What make and scale are they?

I'd love to game the Falklands conflict. It was the first highly televised conflict that I remember. Being so close to the UK meant its all that was on TV at the time.

I'd also like to game the ground battles…Goose Green etc…

Anyway good job and looking forward to seeing more…

Pretty sure Jack's stuff is 1/600, probably Tumbling Dice and Oddzial Osmy's, maybe some Shapeways too.

Yes the models are 1/600th, Jack mentioned Pico Armour so the chances are they are Oddzial Osmy.

Fatman

Thanks guys.

All this is 1/600 (3mm), and all these are Oddzial Ozmy (via Picoarmor), though I do have some Tumbling Dice as well.

Regarding Falklands, I've got these aircraft, I've got 10mm Pendraken Brits and Argentinians, and I just ordered "Shipwreck" naval rules (I've got some ships that will do; no the real things, but they'll work. Heresy, I know). So I guess the Falklands is happening ;)

V/R,
Jack

Thanks for the answers guys

"So I guess the Falklands is happening ;)"

Great…I'm looking forward to that immensely :)

What kind of level of combat are you thinking of doing? I think company level or even higher would most interest me most

I saw this guys basing and just loved them

Oh and I think I'll have to stop looking at your damn blog I'll be getting into too many theatres of war (yes it is inspiring my friend)

Sorry I'm hijacking this thread a bit…

How are the air rules that your working on coming along?

Very nice, I have lots of aircraft in the next higher scale. Hope you have great fun with your stuff as I do mine.

Years ago I collected heaps of different 1/144 scale jets. Started working on them recently. Hope to have photos soon

Nice paint work! Love the Mirages!
