Polar Wars - General Discussion

[Wardukw]

I watch alot of that channel ..an Aussie bloke does it and he's getting better but man his pronunciation of some words is terrible 😆
It's a bloody interesting channel tho and I have watched that episode 😳
Man sometimes I don't know what aircraft designers are smoking but it's pretty potent stuff .

Re-released and sold out. So whose building it ?

Inspirations:

Antonov An-14 and An-714 with air-cushioned landing systems.
Only ever experimental as far as I know.

Good drawings can be found online and the
is VEB kit suprisingly decent, even though it has some odd kit design and engineering
features.

A LARC-V could be a good basis for a Snowcruiser type vehicle. Surprisingly
there's no 1/72nd injected kit available,
just some expensive resin, 3-D printed
and 3-D files. Das Werk and Gecko do
1/35th scale kits.

Gentle reminder gents, just under one month to go

[Wardukw]

I should have my build done by then or at least much sooner ..it's raining here today ..so much cooler 😉 😎

[zenrat]

Hmmmm.
I'll have the Corsair finished but I feel i'll be needing an extension for the T34.

I think it's very likely you'll not be the only one matey 😉 👍

I've been thinking. Yeah, I know, bad habit. 
But anyway.............At least 2/3 of Greenland is above the Arctic Circle. It's too late for this now, but what if somebody built a model based on a war between the U.S. and Denmark where Trump flexed his military muscle so to speak and invaded/captured Greenland from the Danish?
Trump wanting Greenland has been making the news recently. And Denmark has repeatedly said "HELL NO!". Of course, we all know why he wants Greenland. So he can exploit it for any oil and mineral wealth. More oil and minerals = More $$$.

Tell him to naff off, he's the one going on about 'sovereignty' all the time, and Greenland is 'sovereign' Denmark.

An-14Sh ACLS drawing, for reference in case anyone gets a wild hair in the future.

Apparently Greenland is having a referendum on independence from Denmark later this year.

Another interesting tidbit: China (that is to say CHINA) has been trying to buy abandoned US bases on Greenland. Denmark politely declined, of course...

I doubt they'd want Camp Century.

I think they just want the site: with the amount of money they're throwing at soft power proejcts, they'd probably just clear it and build their own stuff.

Seems the incoming US President Elect wants Greenland for America ... & has even strongly hinted at being willing to go to war to get it.
