Anti aircraft missile Bomarc

The supersonic Bomarc missiles (IM-99A and IM-99B) were the world's first long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and the first missiles that Boeing mass produced. Authorized by the Air Force in 1949, the F-99 Bomarc prototype was the result of coordinated research between Boeing (Bo) and the University of Michigan Aeronautical Research Center (marc).

The missiles were housed on a constant combat-ready basis in individual launch shelters in remote areas. The alert signal could fire the missiles around the country in 30 seconds. The Model A had a range of 200 miles, and the B, which followed, could fly 400 miles.

The production IM-99A first flew on Feb. 24, 1955. Boeing built 700 Bomarc missiles between 1957 and 1964, as well as 420 launch systems. Bomarc was retired from active service during the early 1970s when the threat scenario had changed from to strategic bombers to strategic missiles, which could no be intercepted by the Bomarcs.

The top speed of the missile exceeded Mach 2.5 and the range was more than 400 miles (IM-99B). It could be armed with a nuclear warhead (10 kilotons) or a conventional warhead.

This model was published by Moewe Verlag, Wilhelmshaven, Germany. The scale is 1:50.

To be continued.....

Hello everyone,

seems to have been a quite long break, but sometimes work is unfortunately more important than card modelling....

But here is the next one:

Fast patrol boat P-6 / scale 1:250 / MDK-Verlag (Germany)
At the end of the fiftees the former East German Navy (Volksmarine) bought 27 fast patrol boats of the P-6-class from the Soviet Union. Decommissioned at the end of the sixties they were replaced by the more powerful Shershen-class.

Technical Data:
Speed: 42 knots
Displacement: 67 ts
Armament: 2 torpedo launchers, 2 x twin 25 mm machine cannons, 8 depth charges

The second picture is a photomontage again.

To be continued

Greetings
Hagen

Thanks, benihana!

The next one:

Floating naval base

The “Volksmarine” (former East German Navy) used floating naval bases for mine sweepers and fast patrol boats. Nine barges of this floating base type 62 were built from 1959 to 1961. They were decommissioned from 1984 on – some of them were broken, others were used for civil purposes.

These barges had no propulsion and had to be towed to their berths. There was space for up to 200 sailors. In times of war they could be armed with 2 × 25mm (0.98”) / L70 twin guns.

This waterline card model in 1:250 scale is published by MDK-Verlag, Germany.

Picture 2 shows an floating naval base and three type P-6 fast patrol boats.

The next model is the torpedo boat S 67.

This model, published by JSC (Poland, scale 1:250), shows an old torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy.

These small torpedo boats of the class S 67 – S 73 were built from 1892 to 1896 at Schichau shipyard in Elbing (now Elblag, Poland).At the beginning for Wold War I these small boats seemed no longer to be suitable for torpedo boat duties (too small, underarmed and not seaworthy enough) . They were pulled out of the torpedo boat division and were transferred to mine sweeping duties.
S 67 was lost on August, 1918 by a mine hit in the North Sea (2 sailors were lost).

Technical data:
Speed: 21,9 knots
Displacement:
Armament: 3 torpedo launchers, 1 x 5 cm gun (1.97 “)
