I never fly on Boeing planes ....... so much problems and flaws ........ a good old C160 Transall anytime .... or a business class on an Air France A320 ........... well , this is a tragedy , but yet the causes are unexplained , investigations have just started and we won't know anything until the black boxes are retrieved TV footages shown here of the famillies arriving and waiting at Roissy/CDG were quite disturbing

Dix ans putain ... et moi qui vais et qui viens partout ou je passe ...... quelle unité ? une opération éxtÄrieure récente ? si c'est pas trop indiscret bien sür ..... qui sait , on s'est peut Ätre déjÅ• croisés i totally agree with you .... well , it would have been funny testing our LRAC89 on some soviet steel to see how much paint it would scratch back when we still used them

Tamiya Leo 2A5 page

no no no , you're biased in my opinion ..... ever built a Tamiya model ?? i've done a german Leopard A5 a few years ago , and it's a pure gem , no flaws in the assembly , superb details , i recommend it to anybody btw

well those russian/eastern brands are pretty random , you can have excellent models and well ........ scraps of plastic , but sure they're good if you're interested in Varsaw pact products , but they sometime need a lot of ameliorations and reworks *edit : when i said that i hadn't seen the 1/72th line this sounds good on the other hand .... 1/72th models are a lot more easy to rework I know all the models I'd made from east block always bought them from ZVIEZDA and its the best from all Russian companies all models are very good quality.But when i wanted to get some west stuff only ITALERY its the beast for me!!! Tamiya is the best of all, no more to say i remember of an ISU152 model I made , it was an Italeri rebox of Zvezda and believe me , i've had to put some hard work ........

2 mirage 2000C ...... a single Super 530 missile .......... you know we do have an airforce which maintains a couple of planes maintained in alert on each base , don't you ? thinking that the Air France's plane hasn't been escorted to the Marignane airport and after is stupid. The goverment has the authority through our air defence command to order a passenger plane to be shot down if leaving flight corridors and behaving unnaturally

Tamiya is the top of the top in plastic , it is the best for 1/35th military vehicle models and figureswith for exemple an Iraqi Freedom edition of their excellent M1A2 , and on the topic of OFP actuality a T55Athis summer (the ones dating from before the 90's are worthless though), its 1/32 planes are awesome and 1/72 are some of the finest around , their line of 1/16th products is awesome too with for exemple the 1/16th RC WWII military products line and WWII figures Revell is the best for 1/72 military vehicles and there figures aren't bad either (thought the plastic is not the best when it comes to figures) and Revell offers a nice diversity of subjects Its 1/35 models aren't bad and offer nice subjects (varsaw pact vehicles) Italeri is the best when it comes to price , most of their models are allright , but beware some are just reboxed eastern models of lesser quality , but to make it short they offer a good compromise price/quality , 1/72 armor models are basically all ESCI reboxs Dragon offers nice WW2 subjects , some dragon products have been reboxed by Italeri or vice-versa ("modern"90's era SF in particular) Academy is nice , but they're often difficult to get in Europe (in France there's only one firm which imports the whole lot of Academy products for France and BeNeLux , there models aren't that bad eventhough the engraving and modelling isn't that sharp Revell main page Italeri main page Dragon main page there are dozen of worthy model brands around , especially eastern ones (russians in particular , but also south east asian) and don't forget Resin and metal models and amelioration sets for your models

Then why did you say this: double standards ..... that's the american way of (not) thinking for you ...

You're one lucky fella! http://www.chefnancykelly.com/photos....pin.jpg HOW IN GOD'S NAME DID YOU GET HER PICTURE ???? well , just got my four wisdom teeth removed and the doctor advised against "heavy" celebration (read drinking) and well , my Nurs..... wife is here to look after me ........
-
i've been locked at home suffering , and alcohol was forbidden by my wife ........ next year i'll drink twice as much as i do on such an event ..........

happy new year may this year be even better than the past one for you , your relatives and all the other health , luck and money during the whole year , that's all i wish to all of you (btw , mobile phone networks here litterally crashed estimations gave the number of 70 milions SMS in three hours of time)

Don't know if you have found it already, but try to find a picture of a 2S14. I believe it fits your description. looks like it , thx

can we hope working snorckels ? i can't help myself thinking about that when i see the folded one on the T64's turret neck
-
it was the only fortress of that importance in [insert weird construction material name here] remaining (i can't remember the name of this thing bah .....)
-
is it the Bam fortress that's completely destroyed ? that's a real shame , this was an awesome place

Well i was thinking in that direction too Either that or a nice DC-3 Martin's DC3 reworked (i'm sure he will make a military variant of his civilian passenger version)
-
LOL ! SAAAAMMMBBBBAAAA ! Rio de Janeiro

i was thinking about homemade modifications on vehicles for exemple an M113 with BMP1 turret or vice-versa to get a new IFV or APC

they don't need earthquake rescue teams anymore ...... the ones already on spot (including the ones coming from abroad) did all they could , and with every day passing , the odds of finding survivors are smaller and smaller what they need now is help from humanitarian NGO's to find food , tents , medical material of all kinds along with medical personnel they also need large ammounts of bulldozers and tools to cleane the ruins and to remove them , what is the most to be feared now is the risk of Epidemies

no originality needed since the FIA should have been mainly composed of former NDF members
-
i was on about vehicle camo patterns , but when it comes to uniforms , Edge's camo and OFP FIA patterns would do

IMO that's a Bad Thing â„¢, because every squad needs an MG for supportive fire. Why do you think real life militaries use LMGs? (Not aimed at you, Hellfish. ) tell that to the comm... red.... erm, russians .....

IMO that's a Bad Thing ™, because every squad needs an MG for supportive fire. Why do you think real life militaries use LMGs? (Not aimed at you, Hellfish. ) @R71: LESS recoil than the SAW? How is that possible? I'm playing OFP on FDF mod with increased recoil and I can fire it like an assault rifle on full auto while standing up. Sure, I've heard that the real FN Minimi has very little recoil, but really... It's a super weapon, I hope the recoil is increased a bit. I dont know if you would really call it more kick, but the m249 has a strange way to fire in this pack. Lets see if I can show you what I mean...                  hit      M249=                  hit      RPK=          hit If you fire 50 shots with the M249 25 will land high and 25 will land low. With the RPK all of the shots will land in one spot. that's the dispersion i think , is there any left<->right dispersion ? if yes , then it's all normal that's why you use machine guns .....
