[Volkodav]

Oooohhhhh...love the F-20 :)

Second on that!!

Thirded!  There is just something so science fictiony and cool about the look of it.

[CiTrus90]

So much goodness in here :)

[Glanini]

...... well ..... thanks for the support

...... following the destruction of Ugandan Air Force from IDF in Entebbe in 1976, Gaddafi provides to his friend "The King of Scotland" some of his MiG23



...... but they are all destroyed by Tanzanian Air Force at the beginning of 1979



....... at the end of the decade he provides the same type to the new Islamist Government in Sudan .........



....... while in 1984 USSR gives to Ethiopia some Fulcrums to gain control over the horn of Africa




...... meanwhile on the other side of the world a war is raging over the control of South China Sea

Liking that Thai F1 :)

[Glanini]

..... A Malaysian Jaguar in the South China Sea War



.... A Vietnamese Fulcrum to counter Chinese Expansionism



..... An Israeli Mirage G8 in the 1982 War in Lebanon




..... and finally thanks an Honduran Kfir



Regards

[GTX_Admin]

More goodness!  I like the RMAF Jag. :)

[Glanini]

..... An after Coup Chilean Kfir since Israel did not care about sanctions



.... for the same reason a Rhodesian Kfir, this one looks real mean



...... while Kenya gets compensated for its support during Operation Thunderbolt



A Swiss Trainer



..... and finally a flight 1417 Jaguar in Belize



Regards

[GTX_Admin]

Oh, I do like the Swiss SA38

[Glanini]

... Well, these South Yemenite Frogfoot and Hind are supposed not to be a What If since several sources suggest they have been used during the 1986 Civil War but AFAIK no pictures or profiles available, so this is my guess





.... while since I have "retooled" my Su25 blank, here is an updated Syrian one



Regards

[Volkodav]

Love them all, but particularly the Israeli G8, Rhodesian Kfir and Malaysian Jag.

[Glanini]

...... now in my story the balkan wars happen in the late 80s, while the Slovenian Mig 21 and the Bosnian Hinds are taken fron JNA defectors, the Croatian Frogfoot is one of the airplanes taken from NATO armies following Warpact retreat from FDR in the spring of 85, and later supplied from West Germany to Croatia for Operation Storm







in addition an Indonesian F20



and an Algerian Su25



as always suggestions are welcome

Regards

[Volkodav]

And my new favourite is the Indonesian F-20

[Glanini]

.. .... a former Portuguese G91 now in Guinea Bissau use



.... a Venezuelean MiG23




.... and my 10 years old son first Whif, a New York City State F18

[Tophe]

Congratulations and thanks to your son, inventing a new silhouette coming from his own imagination, I love this!

[M.A.D]

Great to have you here, Glanini!  Welcome!  It wouldn't be the same without you here.

China Su34

That is one downside of the white background.  With some schemes, your profile can end up looking like Wonder Woman's invisible plane!



Cheers,

Logan

I'm sorry Logan, but I still can't seem to see through Lynda Carter costume!! 

M.A.D

[Glanini]

I found that the Tigershark is a hit so .....

A promised Finnish (dedicated to Kimi)



A USN Aggressor



... I think NM ANG had a magnificent look in the 50s so....



..... this one for my daughter born in Charleston SC



.... and for my son born in my favourite state WA



Regards

[Logan Hartke]

There is something about that Finnish F-20. Very neat, glanini.

Cheers,

Logan

[Volkodav]

Sweet, thanks for the extra F-20s.  I've got an incomplete one in my stash that I intend to finish one day (assuming it hasn't been damaged or parts lost in a move), so really appreciate all these great profiles.  What I was thinking was a notional late 80s Australian Army Aviation example in Foliage Green, or perhaps the current army scheme, although a very simple RAAF reserve example in grey.  All very parochial I know, but I can't help myself.

[Glanini]

.... now as the four wizards of Liverpool used to sing "Back in the USSR"...... where Mr. Gorbachev reforms after the war lost in 1985 are making a change, but still the Republics are looking at more concessions, so National Guards are created..... and also Glasnost is giving an opportunity to put some Pin Ups on the planes like this MiG21 coming back from Afghanistan where it has shoot down to Pakistani F16



we have also a Byelorussian



... an Ukrainian



. and a Georgian Su25



Regards

[GTX_Admin]

Love that first one - it is really worth clicking on and doing the zoom to see the full details.

[Glanini]

... I was expecting the USSR guards not being a hit, but I am working hard on the MiG21 to add details.... in the meanwhile

Portugal gets Mirage V from France to support the colonial wars in the early 70s.......



..... some of them were written off by FAP in Angola but Angolan technician were able to put them back into service



....... while SAS use this Dornier 31 in the Falklands



...... same airplane used by US in the Gulf War



..... and finally a Texas ANG Tigershark
