THE EMPIRES TWILIGHT

[Taiidantomcat]

That is gorgeous!! nice job, i never thought of using SR-71 nacelles like that with the little wings turned upright for fins  Excellent wash too, this is an amazing build 

[ChernayaAkula]

  Way cool! 

[pyro-manic]

Wow. That's gonna be faaaaaast! I'm assuming it's nuke-capable, given it's anti-flash paintjob?

[thedarkmaster]

the world of the Empires Twighlight is a world where much more reliance is placed upon it's nuclear capability by the United Kingdom and as such most of the RAF's bombers and recon aircraft are nuclear capable.
The RAF only camoflages transports, direct ground support aircraft and it's few none nuclear armed fighters.

Got this first on from

THE I-SPY BOOK OF NEW COMMONWEALTH AIRCRAFT 1970

Gloster Javelin f10, in RSDF* markings 30pts.......with skyflash missile +5pts


* Royal Singapore Defence Force














and this one

Britsh Rocket fighter 50pts














not so much work on these but more to fill out the history and timeline later.

[pyro-manic]

Looking very sharp as always. I love that RSDF roundel!

[sotoolslinger]

And the cool niftyness continues

[cthulhu77]

Love the panel lines!

Two aircraft today,

the first is not much of a Whif, it'a a f4 Phantom in Israeli front markings based at RAF Akritouri in 1982 during the Syrian attack on the Golan heights. Used operationally in support of Anzac forces and as top cover for RAF su25's in disputed airspace.











the next..........

Hawker Comet ( p1048 )

As a measure against the failure of the meteor programe the govenment ordered 150 Hawker p1048 to be named the Comet in Raf service,

the aircraft mainly operated with the fighter training schools and went through an amazing number of marks through to the mk 22.

The one pictured is the single seater mk10 in service with the Central Flying School at RAF Cottishall in 1971















not sure if the decals are correct but i liked them.

OH yes i know they are not in anti flash white but not everything is 



Does anyone out their want to help me on this project ?

What I'm looking for is people who would like to model aircraft from some of the other nations within this timeline, in paricular the French empire, the United states and it's NATO allies, the USSR and its Warsaw Pact allies and finally the RED chinease...............hope someone will take them on as i'd love to see them but just dont have time.

Do you have anything ready for them? Rough ideas, key locations and events, etc? The French Empire in Africa and SE Asia could be interesting to do...

Cool stuff as always.

[thedarkmaster]

as it stands the French Empire is a staunch ally of the new Commomwealth, it has very strong ties with Israel as does the UK.
It is not an active Nato member and has many problems with the USA. Relations with the USSR are very much like otl but relations with the Red Chinease are very good with France suppling much of the high technology the Chinease use.
France is active within Africa and activly defends it's former colonies and Empire aggrresivly, it has issues with Spain and it's north African territories.
France has no presence in the old Indochina but it's links with the Chinease make upm for it.
The co-operative projects that produced the Jaguar happened in this timeline but France only used the Concorde as an airliner.
Dates and things i will leave to you but remember the timeline ends in 1991

Cool. I'll have to see if I can come up with something interesting to do. It might be a little while, though - I have far too many builds on the go at the moment, so I need to clear some of the backlog first.
