                        I'll need to pick up my act then instead of just reading the messages to get my second star.

                        On the topic of the 75 SQN cards it was for one of the anniversary's as far as I know (which one I don't know) I got this info out of the 75SQN book.

                        Sushi, sorry I can't help either, with any of the searches that I've done I've come up with zip. You might have to try your hand at scratch building some bits for your cockpit.

                        I'm into building 1/16th R/C tanks and armour.

                        My latest is building a Leopard 2A6 in Aussie colours (stuff this Abrahms garbage). A tank we should of bought. I have not modified much just a few things with equipment.

                        Thanks for the welcome everyone.
                        @ Fireguard62b
                        Do you REALLY think that the Abrahms is that bad?????? At least we are still going to have a MBT of sometype rather than having none.( And there were rumors floating around that the army should have nothing but ASLAVs and rebuilt M113s).
                        Yes I would agree that the Leopard 2A6 is as good as the Abrahms, but it has not been proven in warm weather operations as has the Abrahms.
                        Do you have any thoughts on the "modification" that we are having done to the Abrahms?

                        Hmmm i'm not much of an armour guy but from what i've heard the Abrahms is a much more capable vehicle than the Leopard thats currently in service, but then i have to ask myself does Australia need a MBT..........

                        BTW Raverdave i have the 1/350 Essex class carrier CV10 USS Yorktown, just need some stuff from Eduard to make it completeThumbs Up [tup]


                        Well as someone who was once in infantry, I am biased towards the need for a MBT. The "shock and awe" effect of these things should never be under-rated, and then there is the practical fire support that they provide. Plus there is the added bonus that when a tank is sharing the battlefield with you, the bad guys tend to concentrate on the tank rather than a lowly infantryman :)


                        I am still working on sanding the hull , then refilling the small bumps and sanding again and again and again, have done a little bit of work on the Island but I am yet to buy an airbrush. The compressor is on the list for the weekend. Any chance a of a few pics of your CV 10 ???

                        I think a balanced army has some need for a MBT. I would have preferred to have seen the ADF purchase the Challenger 3 as like the M1A1, it is combat proven.

                        With the aquisition of a modern MBT, the ADF at least has the fire support required to support our troops, I doubt the ASLAV or the M113 could handle that job fully. Got to remember the M113 design is over 40 years old and are not well armoured.

                        BTW, what mods are being done to the Abrams?

                        cheers

                        IIRC the Challenger had some issues when it was used in the frist gulf war, mechanical mainly due to sand, but I just can't recall.
                        As for the changes that we are having to the Abrahms (M1A2 is the model that we are getting???) all of the urainium is being removed from the armour. Gotta wonder what that is going to do for it's ability to survive in a modern combat enviroment.

                        All of the depleted uranium. Whose idea was that? The whole idea was that addition of depleted or inert uranium was to protect the tank along with the Chobham armour! Still no tank deployed by the forces of this region could probably face an M1A1 down.

                        I understood were were not getting M1A2's

                        cheers
