![]() | Syhart Decal - SY72102 - 1:72 | Mil Mi-24V Hind-E ''U.S. Coast Guard'' This Mi-24 was painted in U.S Coast Guard scheme to fulfill the role of an American Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopter in the Soviet film "Charged with Death" (Zarjazhennye smert'ju) , it appeared some time after filming during public days. In 1991, as the Soviet Union declined, relations with the United States improved. It is in this context that the film "Charged with Death" comes out in Russia. The scenario tells the story of traffickers hunted by the Soviet Navy, in collaboration with the US Coast Guard. If it happens that western aircrafts wear of the communist or middle-east block style schemes, such as the "Aggressors" of the Naval Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) in the US Navy, or the US Air Force's "Aggressor Squadrons." It is much less common to see Soviet aircrafts in American colors, especially when it's a Mil Mi-24 (attack helicopter) which plays the role of a rescue helicopter. However, it should be noted that the decoration of the "U.S Coast Guard" type which has been applied to it respects the original scheme in the smallest detail, notably the faithful insignia of the U.S coast guards. The only breach would be the bands bordering the American star which are a little too long, this detail is obviously included in the decals. More | Aircraft decals (military) | Catalogue | £5.99 | |
Deprecated: substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /mnt/vault/Sync/Dessol/Sites/hannants.co.uk/htdocs/product.inc.html on line 911 ![]() | Warpaint Series - WPS126 - No Scale | Grumman F-14 Tomcat By Charles Stafrace. The US Navy embarked on the VFX fighter programme when it became obvious that the weight, engine and manoeuvrability issues plaguing F-111B, the naval variant of the Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX), would not be resolved to the Navy's satisfaction. The Navy requirement was for a fleet air defence fighter whose primary role was intercepting Soviet bombers before they could launch missiles against the carrier battle group. The Navy strenuously opposed the TFX, which incorporated the US Air Force's requirements for a low-level attack aircraft that were not required by the Navy. Grumman came up with a solution in the form of their F-14 Tomcat, a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing aircraft. But what made the Tomcat head and shoulders above all other fighters was its AWG-9 weapons control radar married to the superlative AIM-54A Phoenix air-to-air missile. The Tomcat was all the US Navy required, and the F-111B episode was soon forgotten. The F-14A was the first version of the Tomcat, and it entered US Navy service in 1972 with VF-1 and VF-2 and first deployed overseas on USS Enterprise in 1974, gradually replacing the later versions of the F-4 Phantom on the US carriers' decks. The F-14A served only with one foreign air force, the Imperial Iranian Air Force which, after the 1978 revolution, came to be known as the Iranian Islamic Iranian Air Force. The Tomcat's role in Iran's war against Iraq from 1980 to 1988 is explained in detail. The Iranian, in its locally-improvised versions, is still in service. The F-14A version of the Tomcat inherited not only the AWG-9/AIM-54 system from the ill-fated F-111B but also its troublesome TF30 engine. In the US Navy it was only when the F-14B was re-engined with the more powerful and more reliable F-110-GE-400, as was also the F-14D, that the Tomcat really showed its true potential in the air. The Tomcat went on to serve on all US carriers of the Forrestal and Kitty Hawk Class of carriers and on all nuclear powered carriers built until 2006, the year when the Tomcat was retired from service. During the years it spent on deck, the Tomcat, in its F-14A, F-14B and F-14D versions, participated in all US interventions of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s in the Mediterranean, Middle East and Horn of Africa, and distinguished itself not only as an interceptor fighter, but later also as a ground support and reconnaissance aircraft when the need for these two new roles were needed and when equipped with the LANTIRN and TARPS systems. The Tomcat's story was immortalised by the Hollywood production that made 'Tomcat' and 'Top Gun' household names, but in real life the Tomcat was truly a confirmed 'MiG-killer' and a 'Sukhoi-killer' in encounters with hostile Libyan opposition. Its exit from the US Navy scene in 2006 was a controversial one, as the aircraft was still considered a valuable asset to the fleet. However, its astronomical maintenance hours per flight hours and its ageing systems compared with the newer F/A-18 Hornet worked against it. All this is explained in detail in this new Warpaint title, a 124-page account of America's most famous fighter of recent times, that contains no fewer than 280 photos, ten pages of colour profiles, scale plans, fourteen information tables and a text that give exact details of every squadrons, details of all deployments with carrier, CVW, dates and destination, conversions to later versions, and many other information as now expected from titles by author Charles Stafrace, supported by superb artwork by John Fox.
