You dont say..
I’ll look forward to reading the AARs then!

this could be the Y-615C, with an updated radome with a dropcast shell to improve armor resistance.
Could be, however I do believe that eh anti-lazer ceramics they added we actually installed on the inside, which I thought odd. Now, they did stop production on the DH and Jerry for a bit when the IMA ramped up production on the SAFS, so this could even be a later “simplified” version?
Waaaay too easy to geek out over the fictitious history and cannon!

I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I updated this topic!
I was finally able to get these dainty beauties printed (though had to have a friend do it due to my exposure issues). And wow are they delicate. The landing gear go pinging off into the unknown reaches at the slightest mishandling. It going to be interesting painting them up…
The other thing is a “sidewinder”, a fan design for hover carrying AFS sort of like hiw the SDR uses the Spk69 to hover haul PKAs
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
At long last I was able to get more of the Pk.40s printed up and color blocked. I did a test paint for both factions and they came out ok so I blocked in the remainder.
The SDR test came out a little darker than I wanted but not too bad.
Same for the IMA ship, too dirty but it is a bit more striking in person. The flight leaders have the perpendicular stripes while dedicated ground attack craft have the wing edge stripes. The SDR have more planes than the IMA guys (and they also have the Pk41 jet/Heinrich combo that I am about to print), but the IMA also has a lot more AAA capable units, so it works out. A little bit later in the war the IMA develops the Falke for air superiority and their Pk40s then switch to doing more ground attack. That is, if the player decides to spend points on development (which I know he will).
I have a couple of more unpainted Pk40s which will get dolled up as aces, and a couple more that broke or misprinted in various ways that will become crash tokens or scenery or objectives.
Next to print will be SAFS, Gustavs and Nutrocker IIs! Interestingly enough the SDR side has spent development points on Salamander ground attack jets, but also requisitioned a flight of Fireflies. Not sure what the plan is there but I need to get modelling!

Can you add a subscribe widget?
I know of the blog, but did not know you had posted more since the first post…
Ha Ha, you have, though I spoke in error, I meant follow.
I don’t do RSS, though I suspect many do, Paint It Pink does IIRC.
I was finally able to get one of our games written up, unfortunately we’re starting with game #3 as the first couple of games were played on a VTT and the screen shots didn’t come out. Game #4 was also played on the VTT as it covered a larger area than our tables could show as well as having over 80 units on the table at once!
Drop by the blog and see if the SDR can recover a wayward Major that is attempting to defect to the IMA with some potentially damaging information.

That is a nice mat.
Good playing time, though I still can’t get my head around the ‘backwards’ legs on the Krote.
I can’t see how they don’t fall backwards when they lift one leg…
Anyway, that is my problem not yours…Good game.
I love Nutrockers.
