Thanks. Hadn’t see it. Wish I had. Would have saved all the trouble of looking for it in other places. And, by the way, a few Bosnia and Bosnia-Herzegovina photos. The Bosnian Mi-8 proudly resplendent in the national flag is from http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-photos-multimedia/63414-bosnian-muslim-army.html, and the Bosnia-Herzegovina Mi-8 and UH-1D are from http://www.fortunecity.com/oasis/tropicana/533/military6.html.

Not Necessarily a Problem

..which have all based their profiles on this very decal sheet you want to use. Sorry guy but so far no single piece of photographic evidence for this machine has appeared.

Lack of photographic evidence does not, however, eliminate the possibility that the aircraft in question actually existed. And at that, it’s not like national security depends on construction of a totally accurate model airplane.

Ecuador Nanchang BT-6

Message for gkozak… there are 2 BT6 with equador, they were a gift from the chinese. Was wondering where you got the picture from,

cheers,

Matt

Forgot to note the source- it’s at http://www.militar.org.ua/foro/fuerzas-armadas-del-ecuador-t14154-11445.html.

I’ve attached an Argentinian Broussard (didn’t know they operated that type), and a Bosnian Gazelle.

Rare, Unusual, and Wonderful

Here’s a find- a Dhruv from the Maldives; from http://www.defence.pk. How about that color scheme! I feel yet another model coming on. I hope somebody makes a kit of this one…

I threw in a Greek (Hellenic, I mean) Army Aero Commander, too, just for the heck of it.

Very Interesting!

South Korean An-2 http://www.airliners.net/photo/South-Korea–/Antonov-An-2/1785406/L/ 😮

According to Wikipedia the RoKAF operates ten An-2s for special operations. First time I heard about them. Does anybody know how they got them? Are they defected from their neighbours up north?

I had no idea- thanks! When you think about it, the An-2 is an outstanding choice: cheap, rugged, dependable, proven, STOL, spare parts available all over the place. That plane has seen service across the globe for years, and has probably performed almost every function you could think of for an aircraft.

Hungarian C-17?

Hungarian C-17? Do they currently use or plan to use C-17s?

And even more…
