Nice Folgore II :)

And I had never heard about the last bit on Perù, thanks for sharing!

Just reading a book of the only member of Gladio (the stay behind unit of Italian Military in case of Soviet Invasion) that has published something. That is where I found the story of Italian support to Garcia in Perù that has been later confirmed by the Chief of Italian Inteligence, some parts of the books looks realistic like involvement in the protection of the leaders of the revolution in Portugal in 1974 or training UNITA in Angola againsta MPLA or actions in Libya, what looked complete unrealistic is that a group of twenty of them was sent under US pressure in Vietnam in February 1975 to slow down the North Vietnamese Army advance and blow up a bridge. This part of the book is well detailed to be honest but it just can't be true. With Australian and New Zealand SAS, US Green Berets and Navy Seals why the US should have called Italian agents with no experience in the area, strange but a lot of Whif inspiration..... anyway to go back to business an Argentine AMX with GE engine since UK refused to give the RR Spey.....

Intriguing! What's the title of the book?

And btw, with the Argentinian livery it looks like a natural :)

Love the AMX profiles, especially as there is a mainstream kit available now (that I may add to my stash and never build). I reckon the two seater AMX would look great in the RAN trainer scheme.

Glanini · « **Reply #307 on:** November 21, 2016, 01:50:55 AM »

here is an Italian AMX with its gun bay open. The airplane entered in service in 1989.

Reading books about this period I have come to the conclusion that in 1992 there has been a judiciary and media coup in Italy and since that we have been in decline.....

Italian Folgore in Gulf War, it may not be noticed but a lot of details have been added

Thanks for the suggestion, now the Peruvian AMX had some mistakes that needed a fix. Than for one reason or the other a Somali and a Thai one make sense

Regards

Glanini · « **Reply #310 on:** November 26, 2016, 12:16:12 AM »

Here one from FAV and the other one from Tunisia, even in this case the story, beside the acquisition of the AMX, is true

Don't know why the companies stop developing the airplanes there were studies to upgrade it with a RB199 and even an EJ200, at the end it entered service in 1999 and it had big teething problem, especially with the RR Spey but one they have been solved the plane has worked very good in Afghanistan.....

That RNZAF one seems particularly practical given their affinity for Aermacchi products.

Cheers,

The RNZAF version has my vote. :)

..... the Chilean AMX was one of the latest on the list

meanwhile during the Xmas holidays I have read several books on Cuba and Castro, so here is a MiG21 from Venezuela with a movement similar to the one from Chavez happening in the 80s
