introduction:

this storyline based build will be a series of 1/144 models of both Aircraft, Helicopters, Ships and Submarines, depicting a fictional near future conflict, inspired by recent news stories and speculations. any occuring similarities in real life is purely coincidential.


Chapter 1: the beginning


The year is 2021, 8 years have past since China's first cold standoff with Japan over the ownership of the Senkaku-Islands and its natural  recources. for years, China has tried to claim the islands as its own, with diplomatic sollitions going nowhere and discussions with Japan, the US and the United Nations. when China's new rightwing president, Xiahou Zo, came to power, he ordered that the islands be turned over to China, or that they will take them by force. with the UN completly disproving these threats, China set up a military operation to capture what they named the Diaoyu-Islands.

Japan was furious on the act of Chinese agression and it eventually came of an armed stand-off, with JMSDF warships bombaring the islands constantly and Japanese F-2C's performing precision strikes against Chinese bases.
the United States joined Japan in an operation to reclaim the islands, sending its aircraft carrier, the USS George W. Bush to the area.

in an attempt to break Japan, the PLAAF strategic command commenced a a bombing raid on the Japanese city of Kagoshima. a formation of 20 Xian H-9 Backfire's (unlicence copies of the TU-22M1, blueprints obtained in the Ukraine) flew in supersonic, at low level, bombing the city, killing tens of thousands of people.
the United Nations was shocked that is dasterdly attack and removed China from its memberslist and it was almost unanimously decided to ban all exports/imports to and from China.

Russia refused to join the UN in its desision to boycot and embargo on China, and said that it has decided to join China and take on anyone standing to oppose them. this was an expected desision, as Russia's new Poeple's party president, Sergei Valtjev, has re-introduced the Communist doctrine and laws in Russia, what many seen as the rise of a new Soviet Union.

China has also soon made clear that if will take back all the land that was lost over the past century, most likely refering to Taiwan.
and so, a long war began.



(model: Revell TU-22M1, Decals: DIY)
the model is a repainted and refurbished modeli build a few years ago, i repainted most of it, but i could not rework the bombay.
the aircraft depicts a Xian H-9A Backfire, used by the PLAAF's 685th Bombergroup, as used by the attack Kagoshima.

thanks everyone, the next model in the series is nearing completion.
furthermore, i decided to add some 1/72 models into the mix, as there is more stuff available in that scale in addition to 1/144 models.

so expect something new soon  8)
