As some might know I am more prone to soft turn from history than dramatic what if (aka UK going communists) and I prefer to create a story to make my alt profile fit in. Anyway I have to admit that with the MiG21 it has been quite hard, anyway.

Let's start with Albania not siding with PRC and receiving MiG21 and not chinese copies

..... one of this defects the Italy and is pursued by two other Albanian Fishbeds that are downed by an Italian Navy Crusader

the Albanian Fishbed lands in Ancona and is tested by Italian RSV before being returned to Tirana

In 1963 at the climax of the missile crisis Comrade Fidel decide to recreate FARE and sponsor an insurgency in Spain

While during the Cultural Revolution in China as the Red Guards attack the USSR Embassy in Peking the tension rise and starts border clashes, here the Soviet Units gets some relief and can start decorate the airplanes with Pin Ups and PLAAF Kill markings.

For the rest we got some South East Asia and an Italian Thunderflash not in NMF

Cool I want to know more about what the Italian Crusaders fly off?

Glanini · « **Reply #153 on:** March 08, 2015, 11:32:52 PM »

.... well Italy has to celebrate its 100 years in 1961 and the Olympic Games in 1960 so they receive a Carrier from the US named after Garibaldi and also Skyraiders, Skyhwaks and Crusaders

a little bit later the rocks of Aden turns real hot with Egypt supplied Migs to North Yemen

against RAF Hunters

that are later turned to South Arabian Air Force

while Saudi Arabia strengthen its Air Force with Canberras

and I can hear the late great Joe Strummer singing "Shariff don't like it ....... Rock the Casbah......"

Recently I have worked a lot on the Sukhoi Su9 and I am quite satisfied with the result. As a profiler generally you look at how others do and I was very fond of Logan's panel lines and I have developed a technique that make mine looks very close. The only thing about the Fishbot was a general poor availability of sources (e.g. photos) to have a good look of stencils but here you can see the difference for a Su9 I made a coulpe of year ago

and what I have developed now

Some Warpact birds

a couple of Soviet ones, the latter in the 1967 War with China

Cuban's Missile Crisis

and Indonesian Konfrontasi

Oh yes I could definitely see the Indonesian SU-9 as believable. Very nice

elmayerle · « **Reply #163 on:** March 24, 2015, 11:57:29 AM »

Beautiful Su-9's! Would the USSR be replacing them with Su-11's and exporting these older fighters? I could see doing that to fund an upgrade of the PVO-Strany.

Today, April 25th, is the 70th Anniversary of the Italian Liberation from Nazi-Fascism. Today the National Liberation Committee gave the order of National Insurrection against the Nazis and their Fascist Allies.

We as Italian shall always be thankful to our partisans, the Soldiers of the reborn Italian Army and all the Americans, British, Commonwealth, French, Polish and Brazilian boys that fought and gave their lives for our freedom.

That's a very nice and powerful looking bird!

Thunderstreak. Profile captures its looks fast standing still design.
How about re-engined with F404, dry or wet ?

Glanini · « **Reply #167 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:54:48 PM »

I just found some inspiration looking at this never completed Saab Project, that was shut down to prioritize the Gripen,

It was a trainer-attack aircraft and it should have been ready by 1983, a perfect fit in my alt Cold War, here is the attack version

..... others to come

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #168 on:** May 23, 2015, 10:47:44 PM »

Very nice, Glanini! I really like it.

Cheers,

Logan

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #169 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:32:37 AM »

Very nice SAAB B3LA. :)

BTW, anyone wanting to replicate in 3D, Click2Detail produce both 1/72 and 1/48 kits of this.

The Saab SA38 looks like a Scadinavian Frogfoot

Glanini · « **Reply #171 on:** June 14, 2015, 12:47:29 AM »

Here we have the SA38 Trainer Version

A Japanese F1 during the War with USSR

The same airplane operating with the Japanese units in the Gulf War

And an Italian Phantom in the same scenario

lauhof52 · « **Reply #172 on:** June 14, 2015, 02:36:22 AM »

That F1 is splendid! :)

Glanini · « **Reply #173 on:** August 25, 2015, 01:37:20 AM »

Well, with more than 280 alt history profiles on the 80s I almost run out of inspiration but as I keep digging in my story I found something more

Here is a Provisional Ira Bell 205, and the background story is that three US servicemen and VietNam Veterans join IRA, they are able to modify and fly a smuggled Bell 205 and attack some British Army Post

The other one is a Panamian Hind after Noriega turns to Lybia and Cuba facing US pressure

.... and finally a Force 14 (The Palestinian Air Force) MiG 21 training in Iraq

..... more to come

Glanini · « **Reply #174 on:** August 28, 2015, 02:02:28 AM »

Some Cuban Fishbeds in Nicaraguan and Salvadorean Markings

A Chinese Fishbed J

A Palestinian Hind

A Soviet MiG29K based on the MiG29A

A Philippines Tigershark
