Happy Birthday Paul
Thanks guys. So, umm 50….how did that happen? 
Anyway, most importantly……Happy Mossie Day to you all! I’m actually quite excited about this one. After watching the ED pre-purchase trailer again yesterday, I can almost smell the plastic cement and Humbrol paint from my childhood model making days. I think I would still be model making today but…cats

No model I made back in the day holds more affection/nostalgia than the 1/72 scale Mossie.
Might have to go browse amazon

The 1/48 is on my list. I ALMOST bought the 1/32 and then realized I wouldn’t have enough display space for that monster.

- Added a Syrian version SA-5 (S-200) with a 3D-radar ST-68U, TIR and launchers.
- Adjusted LS-6 warhead power.
- Adjusted simulation of post-penetration physics for delayed-fuze bombs. They will now penetrate the ground and objects, and they will decelerate accordingly. Known issue: low impact velocity bombs with long fuze delays might “hang” in the air after penetrating an object.
- Improved MIM-72G missile performance: increased autopilot response, improved engine parameters, reduced smoke opacity, and added the proximity fuze.
- Trains now appear in MP games.
- Fixed the ZTZ96B and ZBD04A commander panoramic sights.
- Fixed dedicated server crash
- Fixed uncontrolled AI aircraft being unable to take off after another AI aircraft lands.
- ME. Removed pylons will no longer be listed as weapons in the briefing.
