Beware the RCN 2012 !

Photo taken at 50,000' over Shearwater, NS.

The old airgroup is coming along !

[Tophe]

Great!
Just a few questions, minor (the most important being to enjoy this view from the sky):
- are the twin-boomers Yak VTOL?
- is NS meaning Nova Scotia?

Sea Kings in 2012, I thought this site was for hypothetical modeling!

The Sea Pigs going on that long in Canadian service is far to plausible.

Love the Russian stuff.

I wonder if our old fammily friend is still working at Shearwater these days??

[Captain Canada]

NS is indeed Nova Scotia...home to our Gary ! And those are Yak 141s, well, canadair derivatives !

And with the dismal showing of the 101 choppers, we get Westland to fire up the Sea King production line......

Is that a wee Harrier I spot in front of those giant Flanker thingys?    

[lancer]

Dunno how much of a threat the RCN 2012 will be if they're only a couple of inches big at most. A good fly swatter and whamo....instant ace......        

[Captain Canada]

Just like that old Mars Bar commercial, eh ? The little alian dude gets swatted by a rolled up magazine........too funny. My all-time favourite commercial !

"Holy fleurking schnitt, cancel zee inavsion' or somat

Good show Toad!

Get them up on a CAP ASAP!

         

[Captain Canada]

Yes, Commander !

i'm hoping to paint up a Flanker or two this evening, and add the landing gear. I'm also looking around for things to use as ordinance...I'm thinking a toothpick will make a good drop tank !

I'm thinking a toothpick will make a good drop tank !

be afraid, be verry afraid, the RCN is delivering toothpicks all over the world  

looking promising however

Crap, it's the attack of the CAF laser-guided toothpick! Imagine it, entire batalions out of action due to splinters  

Love the Ruskie hardware tho, Todd    

[Captain Canada]

Imagine it, entire batalions out of action due to splinters  

Well they may be out of action, but at least they won't have any crap between their teeth !

And I said drop tanks, not missiles ! If you two jokers would quit trying to be funny, maybe you could help me think up something small enough to be used as weapons on 350th scale a/c ? But be forwarned, if you do, your houses will be my Navies first targets ! But you've got seven years to move.........



I'm also thinking of grabbing a set or two of the Sea Fulcrums, as the Flankers are just so darn big !

Cheers !

You could always buy some brass rod, and sand/file it into shape...

[Captain Canada]

That's not a bad idea....I'll try that !

Also, that's the good thing about WEM a/c, they're expensive, but they give you some stores. I've got some pylons, wee fuel tanks, and double sidewinder rails from the SHAR set.

I'm also thinking that I can use odds and sods from the various PE sets I've got about.

Cheers !
