Smoking gun

Hello,

Will the Chinese in winter kit proxy for late war Soviets?

Thank you,

Martin
Now they've knocked me down and taken it, that still hot and smoking gun.

Hopefully someone will along soon to let you know, Martin.
Sorry......I don't have a clue, myself.
James (Sunray) will probably be able to say, "Yay or nay".

Cheers - Phil

I would have said "yes", but your standards may be higher than mine.

Coincidentally on Korean War news, Osprey are bringing out a voilume on the Imjin River in September, and on Amazon Prime there's a Russian made series on the Korean War.  Starts of with a Soviet pilot casually downing two Mustangs in 1945.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

QuoteThe distinguished career of the Soviet ace didn't stop in Germany. Under his leadership, the 324th Fighter Aviation Division claimed 239 victories in the Korean War (1950-1953).

Hadn't really thought about the scale of the air war over Korea or the scale of Russian involvement :-\

Phil get your coat, the ponies can chew it.

Good stuff there....all we need for British 50's Europe is the BAT, Champ, and either Oxford or Cambridge Carrier.



The Oxford (Pendraken code MDV58) is already available - I bought a troop this month.
The Cambridge - did it ever get beyond prototype for troops trials ?
The Saracen was rushed into production because of the Malayan "emergency" , and took priority over the Saladin in production. The Sarrie was the troop carrier for the 1950s/60 replacing the Kangaroo which was still being used as late as Korea (I have images of the Kangaroo being used at Warminister when the Glosters  were demo battalion after their Korean tour).  This use of the Saracen as a 'battle taxi' as opposed to an APC
shaped tactics and led to the Humber Pig as a supplement.
