    Speaking as active duty Air Force myself, this MOC build is simply fantastic! I know this is based on an air field in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War but it also reminds me of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar when I was deployed there a decade ago.

  • @legotwinsfans
    @legotwinsfans 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Nice build! Love the HH-60 Pave Hawk I'm a future PJ myself but the price of that set was way to much for me to buy. My dad was in the USAF and felt with the weapons for aircraft.

  • @Prynn-Derp
    @Prynn-Derp 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Glad to see an Air Force build. Don't get me wrong I like the army, marines and navy but you don't see a lot of Air Force. Personally I want to join the Air Force so it's nice to see this stuff.

    • @USSCYT
      @USSCYT 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gavin Frederick air force was mainly on air craft carriers and air strips like these. I agree. I'm going into the marines so nice to see you going into the air force.

    • @uselesschannel1050
      @uselesschannel1050 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you join the air force and become an officer you can fly planes and choppers but if you survive a hit your aircraft will lose altitude and hit the ground with force. To make it simple: you'll die.

      nope the stars in the Military are Right on the flag it means they push Forward not going back

  • @tomphillips7858
    @tomphillips7858 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome work. Really amazing. One small detail though... during Operation Desert Shield/Storm US Air Force OA-10’s and A-10’a were painted green still. They didnt switch to the grey scheme till the mid-90’s.
    Buck Wyndham discusses it in his great book Hogs In The Sand. He mentions they experimented with a Grey scheme while still in England before they deported, and it was fantastic, but they painted that aircraft Green again before heading to the Gulf, per USAF orders (which they didn’t think made sense at the time, but orders are orders)
    Not knocking the build, its great detail, and expressive of a lot of hours of hard work. Just, as a history teacher, and a lover of military history specifically, the aircraft should be green. (And the Pedro Pave Hawk from ODS should be Tan & Earth, with no ‘stache. Those Grey Pedros are more 2000’s Gulf War-Afghanistan)
    That said. This is a GREAT 2005-2010 era diorama for those aircraft...

    They should make 6 color desert camouflage (chocolate chip) boonie hats. Those would be more correct than the 3 color desert (coffee stain) boonie hats shown at 1:55. 3 color desert camouflage was issued in very small experimental quantities in BDU shirts and trousers only.
