@Patine You are welcome. I have a good model for a Beechcraft Texan II instead...

Quick paintjob. Mig 15/17 Bulgaria Romania Albania and Hungary.

@Omega124 I see, bad form. Mea culpa. I am sorry.
I will be happy to help with your project in any way.

Well if you're feeling really generous, our next step was to take these and assemble a full roster in Namibian kit (or Angolan, since no-one's done an official Namibian set).

But between you and Erika, I have everything I could have reasonably asked for.

 

[Patine]

@Tanelorn: all of your recent F-86's and MiG-15's reminds me of back when I was 12 or 13, I was doing those model airplane kits, and the 2nd and 3rd I ever did (after a Sopwith Camel) were an F-86 and a MiG-15 that were packaged together in the same box as a "dueling pair."

 

[Tanelorn]

@Thorvald of Lym It so happens that i have covered it in the third ww thread.

Erika, could you please try your hand at two more armoured vehicles I'm aren't out there, please? I need the North Korean Pokpung-ho MBT, an apparent mix of source elements from various Soviet and Chinese tanks that has been photographed on military parades on various North Korean national holidays, and the GCT-155mm armoured mobile howitzer on an AMX-30 chassis that seems to be the mainstay of mobile heavy artillery in the French Army currently. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

The "original" Mig 21, the Ye-2

The Soviet's backup plan for the Mig 21, with Mig 19 wings instead of deltas.
NATO thought that this aircraft was in service as the MiG-21 and assigned it the name 'Faceplate'.
For your alternate history scenarios.

I am thinking "Facepalm"...

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

The full roster:



Modified from the Angolan camo, but Namibian uniforms are close enough to fudge it.
Further variants may ensue depending on what we want/need, but with this I have a basic template to mix and match gear and poses.

 

[Tanelorn]

Petty much all Balkan front Mig 21 Fishbed/ Chengdu J7 variants and camo schemes, with appropriate insignia and service dates where I could find them, bar post Yugo states (yet).
Albanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Romanian and Yugoslavian fighters.
@techumseh To answer your previous question, Mig21 was the first Squadron Signal series book I bought back in my modeling days, and Mig23 was my first Osprey...

 

[Broken_Erika]

Well, i turned the AMX-30 into a GCT-FUBAR (temp. placeholder?), made attempts at the Songun-Ho MBT, a few Pugpunk-hoes, Generic Upgraded T-62, Various T-62/T-72 Hybrids(T-72 Suspension on T-62 Hull, some w/T-72 Turrets, more failed Pokpung-ho's ) and some attempts at the IT-1 Missile tank(a Squashed T-62 armed with missiles instead of guns)

[Patine]

Thank-you very much, Erika!

Type-62, some OT-62 Topaz APCs, BRMDM-2M-96, WZ551 APC, WZ523 APC, Various Type-63 APCs, Type-86A WZ501, Some missile trucks, an ERC-90 Sagaie, Pseudo-BTR-40-ish APC, Biker.

@Thorvald of Lym Angolan Mig21 paintjobs. The Mig21 F-13 is conjectural, since I cant find any photos, but only 8 machines came from Soviet stocks & they were flown by Soviet pilots. The MFs came from Cuban stocks and were initialy flown by cuban pilots. The colours and insignia are correct but the pattern for the -bis needs some revisiting. All were withdrawn by 2007 but some -bis are on reserve.
As for the Namibians, great job . Note however that instead of the US style Woodland the Namibian infantry uses French style Lizard camo and their paramilitary "police" uses an orange version of the British DPM (they used second hand British DPM uniforms early on).
@Broken_Erika Have you checked this site about Noth Korean machines? :http://www.massimotessitori.altervista.org/armoursite/nkindigenoustanks/index.html
It has loads of pictures from multiple angles. The biker you made is my favourite. I think the Sagaie you made is very useful for scenarios too. Will you consider making an AMX 10RC? I have made one too previously, but I really don't like it. It is like an AMX 10P on wheels with an AMX40-ish turret.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Duly noted. I remember a lizard set lurking around somewhere so I'll look into revised uniforms.

I don't know where you guys get the patience for all those variations.

 

[Patine]

Erika, is that biker perchance based on Curt's American Kingdoms biker, just a bit more feminine?
