I jused a semaphore kit from Showcase Miniatures as a challange. The mechanisme is under the layout. Next time I would put the lower blade a little bit lower . For night operations the semaphore can be lit.

... Too bad model trains builders and airplane kits manufacturers never managed to harmonize their respective scales. Myself as an aviation fanatic I've a few 1:200 airplane kits, some of which will find place above my future layout. Hasegawa :Douglas DC3, Airbus A300B4, McDonnell-Douglas DC9-30, DC10-40 and MD11, Lockheed L1011-200 Tristar. Italeri : Tupolev Tu-95 Bear. But indeed there is a full Z scale aircraft kit that I'm the happy owner : an Aerospatiale-MBB C160F Transall, a Franco-German military tactical transport airplane that has been widely used by French Airforce until the very last months, and that is furthermore dear to my heart as it was the very first airplane I was rated on as a young military pilot close to 40 years ago. View AttachmentDom Dom, on a flight back from Bamako/ Mali to Dakar / Senegal in 2015, I had the honour to sit at the joystick of a Transall . I was very surprised how difficult it is just to fly staight for 20 minutes . Priser offers a nice set ( 1:200 scale) of pilots and crewmembers.

I was a medical three-star in these days and tt was a kind of kindness of the acting crew to me. IΒ΄ve been on my way home from a inspection visit to our Mali contingent .
