Combat Warplanes / Far East Airfield

« on: June 19, 2007, 04:34:22 PM »

Here's a image from part of a collection I have of an allied airfield in the Far East, dated approx 1945.

In the shot I can see 9 P47 Thrunderbolts and 4 Spitfires (3 in bits) as for the rest, well

Yes yes- answer was already up but maybe I am too tired in the moment and did not see... I am very sorry

No problem my friend, it's better to have the infomation twice than not at all.

Short range nuke?

Hawker Siddeley began development in the late 1950s of the Blue Steel air-to-surface missile with had a range of over 100 miles with a speed of Mach 2.5.
Blue Steel entered service with No. 617 Squadron (The Dam Busters) in February 1963, equipped with a 1-megaton thermonuclear warhead. As large as a fighter, the missile was 35 feet long with a wingspan of 13 feet and an overall weight of 15,000 pounds.
In 1959 work on the improved Blue Steel 2 (with a 700-mile range and Mach 3+0 speed) was cancelled.

mfg495

Come on  don't do that  I'm also a beginner with no experience with metal finish this will be my first one and I have decided to do it not because it's easy
but because its difficult

I'm not expecting great results with my profile but this will be a start the next ones will be better, but I will never find out if I don't try

Where do you need help?

Let me show what I have done with a lot of thinking and "tenacity"
the metal look is improving 

I will give it a go, I even started over my lunch break at work the other day, so not all is lost, there is still hope for me

you guys are way out of my league, I think I will stick to looking at your great work and carry on researching warplanes. (one day I may get my profile finished) 
Keep up the great work all of you.
