My non whiffy year so far....

Yup, as always, an excellent display!

Squadron records show that the pilots did not like using the rockets as they were unpredictable when aimed at a target and tended to short out and launch in flight while the squadron was in formation flying to the combat area!

That must have been a trifle un-nerving, especially if you were the flight leader! 

I bet they fought like crazy to be 'Tail End Charlie!'

A cracking looking diorama nonetheless, you can almost hear the WHOOOSH! as the rockets fly off.

Can you imagine being the first poor sod it happened to & the poor buggers flying in front of him?


Another great aerial dio, tc!

Well you learn something new everyday if only you are prepared to 

Thanks for that history lesson, very neat model as well 

Quite so!  previously, I had read that the only Spitfire squadron to use RP's operationally (they were tested apparently), was a Yugoslav late-comer squadron, and in Yugoslavia ---

Your dio's though, are really very well thought out and done

1/48 scale Revell Intruder kit has been sitting in the stash forever, so thought it was time to do something about it.

While the A-6 could be fitted with the Sidewinder missile for self defence, I`ve no idea it it ever flew in this configuration but it made the build a little more interesting.

VA-85, circa 1986, USS Saratoga.

Nice clean build, tc!

Not quite as dynamic as some of your others but still a very good job!

I wholeheartedly concur

I love it....  makes me want to watch "Flight of The Intruder."

Latest build from the bench simply titled `Battle Flight` featuring the British Phantom Aviation Groups airframe XV490 during her time in 92 Sqn in RAFG.

1/48 Revell kit with AM decals and blurred base by Coastal Kits.









Thanks for looking.

Oooh, my old boss was a backseater on 92 in Phantoms.

That looks REALLY good. 

[TheChronicOne]

NICE
