Ivan Ivanovich Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 In fact, it was me who "luftwaffled" that Super Herc. Not too different from what a "real" LW C-130J-30 will look like in 2021. The six German Hercs will be jointly operated with France from Evreux AB, France. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was dead, too. Nice looking transport, though. She certainly has “the look”. Antonov’s got some serious issues even producing legacy designs these days, never mind new stuff. They need a western partner. If not Boeing, then what about Airbus or Bombardier? Or even Embraer? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think there was an attempt to produce An-70 in cooperation with Airbus, but again it was maybe just a political facade to free Ukraine from dark forces, etc. Correct me if I am wrong, it feels like Ilyushin is the future of heavy lifters in Russia. Or China will pick up the pace once Trumpeter goes 1:1 scale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Wish Kinetic would finally get this to the market. Guy at their booth told me it was delayed a bit with their new Hi Tech line starting up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonov’s old days are over, they’re future’s with the West, so swallow the pride and at least get some relevant legacy designs back in production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge contest table of grey plus some blue and white transports coming up. Might be a good idea to grab a 1/72 A400M while they’re still out there for semi reasonable prices, too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverting back to Pickelhaube and Stahlhelm M42 again? Goosestepping? And what's wrong with wearing a beret? (As long as it's worn in a proper size and in a proper manner. And as long as it comes in the only wearable colour - maroon.) But you are aware that a good deal of said heraldry/tradition is critically Nazi-infested or has been co-opted by the Nazis and is consequently strictly verboten in modern Germany? Which is a good thing IMHO... On the other hand, there still is some more traditional regular-issue Bundeswehr headgear - the ubiqitous Feldmütze/Field Cap, the Bergmütze/Ski Cap of the Mountain Troops, and the Luftwaffe as well as the Marine are still issuing the good old Schiffchen/Garrison Cap. Altogether fairly close equivalents to their Wehrmacht predecessors... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
