#USN and #USAF have been built to tackle enemies like #IJN, #IJA, Soviet Red Army, #PLA, #PLAAF, etc. That too in deep waters of the ocean where carriers and planes have room to maneuver. In confined spaces like Straits of #Hormuz or Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb they have struggled. Additionally it is rumored that tens of #PLAAF planes had delivered anti-ship missiles to #Iran just before the #IranWar started

Opening of #Hormuz will not be easy. The best way forward is to stop this war and negotiate

Finishing a Mitsubishi Ki-46-II Dinah trainer on take-off. I'd never paid much attention to the Ki46, but the more I worked on it, the more I realised it has really beautiful lines - up in the same class as the Mosquito IMHO. The bird-cage canopy of the trainer version is just wild!

This is the 1:72 ARII kit I picked up as a SG$5 bargain. Why are cheap kits often the most fun?!

This time, I decided to try propblurmodels for in-flight effect, and I really like it. I think I could push the fade of the painting even further for more realism.

I used some Hasegawa airmen figures - navy not army, but after all the careful painting, not really visible through the canopy anyway!
