Chapter 2.1: They came from the north...

February 2, 2022, its been 3 months since the Chinese attack on Kagoshima, during that time relations between China and the west have gotten worse. the US was told not to intervene in the conflict between Peoples Republic of China and Japan.

however, since things were not band enough, North-Korea has been threatening its southern neighbour South-Korea. in recent years, Kim Jong-Un has updated its army with more advanced equipment from theyre old communist ally, China.
North Korean spyplanes and drones regularily penetrated South Korean airspace in an attempt to gather information on sounthern bases and perimeter defences.

Pyongyang has also threatened to launch nuclear strikes against US bases in the far east if they were to intervene with its military.
Washington realised that any attempt to get USAF and USN inteligence aircraft near the North Korean and Chinese borders would have severe concequences. a month earlier, a USAF E-3A AWACS was shot down by a Chinese J-20 fighter. the AWACS was unable to detect the J-20 stealth fighter, not the long-range anti-aew missile that was shot. since that incident, all US intelligence flights near the borders were suspended and any sighting of an American military aircraft near the borders of China and North Korea would be seen as an act of aggression, the US even was forced to sign a controversial treaty with China prenventing such an incident from repeating. this event, known as the "Bejing-scandal", caused US president, Jacob Harling, to resign.

however, the new US President, Robert C. Tyler, was a bit more rightsighted then its predecesser, stating that the US will no longer bent to the will of re-amerging communist gouverments. however the Bejing treaty still was months away from being terminated, so no security reveilance flights could be conducted near the Chinese and DPRNK borders.

however, the Pentagon, under command of a new secretary of Defence, has found a loophole in the agreement. the treaty clearly states that military aircraft are not allowed to fly near enemy terretorial waters, it did not state anything about Civilian and Law Enforcement aircraft and ships.
a US Navy admiral came up with a plan, the use of a wolf in sheeps clothing.
the plan was to use inteligence or AEW aircraft, painted up as Coast Guard aircraft. of course there was one snag in the plan, the sighting of E-3 AWACS and E-8 JSTARS aircraft in USCG markings would easely arrouse suspicion. therefor, the decided to use updated version of an AEW configured P-3 Orion aircraft, orriginaly operated by the US Departement of Homeland Security.
as part of a test, 2 aircraft were repainted in USCG colors and have proven to work excellent.
when the aircraft wereintercepted, the crews would simply emply that they are on an Anti-Narcotics operation for the Coast Guard, when in fact, they were USAF/USN crews, keeping an eye on PLAAF and DPRNKAF flying activity.

Model: P-3 AEW Orion

the model is a Minicraft 1/144 L-188 Electra, converted into a P-3 AEW orion.
modifications include shortening of the forward fuselage by 15 milimeters (3/4inch), a new nosejob (nose from scrapped 737, PSRed into shape) and the addition of a stinger MAD boom on the tail and an AEW rotodome (from a scrapped revell 1/144 E-2C Hawkeye).
decals are from an old Revell 1/144 C-130E

Spey Phantom:
notice:

due to recent events and tentions with the DPRK and the US/RoK.
i am postponing any further posts in this thread, until tentions in that area cool down.
main reason is that some parts in the storyline include DPRK agression and potential nuclear warfare.

never had an alternate history story got this close to reality  ???

Spey Phantom:
the story might be on hold till thing cool down in NK, perhaps next week i will make a new post.
meanwhile, behind the scene's, modelmaking continues.

here's a little teaser for what i have planned later down the line  O0



meanwhile, there are 4 new models under assembly for the next part. one model for a later chapter has just been completed.
so stay tuned for the next exciting episode.... :D
