- In August of 1981, President Ronald Reagan deployed a large naval force to conduct "Freedom of Navigation" operations off the coast of Libya. Libya responded by deploying fighter-bombers and interceptors, resulting in a tense standoff that peaked when two VF-41 F-14A Tomcats from the USS Nimitz - "Fast Eagle 102" and "Fast Eagle 107" - were ordered to intercept a pair of Libyan Su-22 Fitters. One of the Su-22s fired upon the F-14s and missed, and when the Su-22s tried to escape the Tomcats returned fire. Fast Eagle 102 shot down the first Su-22 and Fast eagle 107 shot down the second. The incident was over quickly.
Done fantastically in diecast in 1:72 scale by JC Wings is this Sukhoi Su-22M3 Fitter-H from the Libyan Air Force during the Gulf of Sidra incident on August 19th, 1981.

Die Karre ist der absolute Wahnsinn! Ich habe sowohl die M3 als auch die M4 ,davon ,in meiner Sammlung! Die Entwicklung dieses Modells stammt ursprünglich von CalibreWings und wurde von JcWings übernommen und fertiggestellt . Man erkennt ,den Ursprung an den Details und am Piloten ,die eindeutig auf CW verweisen!
JC Wings taking over from Calibre at least gave us a model that looks pretty good. As I've said the newer JC Wings offerings seem to be a real step up. Thanks for watching!!
I have this one too, and from Polish squadron. This one is so fantastic I don't regret having 2 of these. I almost felt your happiness hearing how it excites you when you described it during the video. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching 😀. I wish I could afford two,haha. I was pretty happy seeing it for the first time. I have had this model for awhile, I must say I do have great will power. Well except when it comes to buying diecast 🤣. Yeah the main reason I video the same time as opening it up for me the first time is to give the viewer my honest view on it and of coarse reaction. If it means I do miss a few things in the excitement of the moment then so be it,haha. Once again thanks for checking out the video and commenting 😀👍
This is what every Diecast model should look like. A very nice plane and a wonderful model. I really want it in my collection.
Although it still has 2 disadvantages: no stand, and in flight condition, the main chassis covers do not match the model quality.
As always LIKE from me.
You Are right, but there is a price to pay for quality. And that exactly what it is...The price. These are considerably more expensive, well especially for me here in Australia. But the detail is well worth it and yes for those that like to display aircraft in flight is a problem they need to pay extra for a stand. Thank you as always for supporting the channel with your views and comments 😀👍
@@heavymetaldiecast Yes, unfortunately the price is very high... But, I'll have to buy at least one.
Really want one of these in my collection one day but really wish they'd cut down on those inked panel lines. Nice review as ever!
Yeah definately a nice one to grab and you can feel special being one of only 400 people in the world to have it,haha. Haha that's Libyan dirt, they all look like that 🤣. It's Probably not as visable just looking at the aircraft on the shelf. Videoing close and close up photos will always highlight everything. I watched the CW video when Noel was inking the MiGs, but there is a lot of time and effort that goes into it. I guess that's why they can be a little expensive. Well here in Australia they are 🤣. Thanks for watching the video 😀👍
Really awesome model, something that I would like to get my hands on.
Love the attention to detail :)
It is a really nice model. Not without its minor issues but well worth grabbing one if you can. But there are apparently only 400 made so you better be quick,haha Thanks for watching. 😀
@@heavymetaldiecast I looked at the prices on eBay , too expensive for me :(
@@RicheUK yeah it's crazy at times. One would think some diecast were cast from solid gold 🤣 just keep an eye out until maybe you get one at a reasonable price. That's what I tried to do. The amount I paid was a lot but it was by far the cheapest I had seen for awhile 😀👍
@@heavymetaldiecast Yeah I worked out how much you paid, you got it at a good price.
Maybe Hobby master might do this in the future :), however I sense a looooong wait :)
That is an awesome bird! Lucky dog, glad you got your meat paws on one lol. Beautiful 🤘
Haha yeah it was a lot of do I or dont I, when it came to buying it as even what I paid was a lot of money!! But it was the cheapest I could find here in Oz at the time. Probably cheaper in the US if you can find one 😉 , thanks as always for watching!!!
@@heavymetaldiecast I looked at the diecast shop my buddy & I shop at & he has one for $119! If we use cash there's no tax. I hate these decisions only because I shouldn't buy it right now. We'll see 🤔
@@jrex9197 hmmm to put that in perspective that equals around $180AUD, I paid $260AUD or something like that, and that was a cheap price here,haha.....and 1 of 400 world wide!!! How special do you want to feel knowing only 399 other people will have the model you own,haha. Just to be the devil on your shoulder 😂😂
Looks great ! I hope the new f-104 jC wings is as good !
Yeah this was a pretty solid build. Hopefully the 104 will be, I assume it would because it does seem JC is lifting their game a little!!
I have the russian air force one and it does have an amazing detail, sadly the elevator and wings are lose and they won'nt go straight as well as the ordinance and the antenna kept falling so i had use paper glue
Ah man that sucks, I only had the one loose tank on mine the rest of the ordnance went on fine on my one ! Only my wings I found were very easy to move, like when you moved the model on an angle the wings would go back in its swept back position without being touched. But over all I was pretty happy with what came on my box 😀. Thanks again for checking out the video and commenting 😀👍
3:26 It seems that starting from 2023 until now JC Wings has removed the year of manufacture below the production number */400
I'm glad the fitment of JC Wings is getting better, previously I was attracted to Panzerkampf but I can't lie JC Wings excels in Box Art and Aircraft Livery
Oh for sure the liveries that JC Wings offer are always done well. The only let down being the occasional fitment issues, which I think personally they are getting better at. Especially on the models they use their own tooling. They used a lot of old Witty Wings molds from what I learned and so those issues that Witty Wings had came across to JC Wings in regards to fitment problems!!
This model looks very good but it is expensive and the display stand should be buy apart. The scheme looks great. However, it seems a very delicate model. I think...iam going to Buy one😂. Thank You for sharing your model.
Thank you for watching. Yes its expensive and like all JC Wings stand has to be bought separately which adds more cost. I am glad the video helped in some way to help you make the decision to get one yourself. Hopefully you will get one at a reasonable price!! Happy Hunting and thanks again for watching!!
Waw. O nível de detalhes é espetacular, Belo esquema de camuflagem, aeronave muito bonita, 🌟modelo incrível.
Yes this has an amazing amount of detail on it. Although a little on the expensive side of it, its definitely worth it!!! Thanks for checking out the video!!
Cool model of lesser known Cold War fighter bomber aircraft
Yeah it's really well done actually. If you have the cash to splash it's worth it 🤣. Thanks for watching 😀👍
Cool jet model
@@elijahglasser1421 This is certainly a great looking model 😀 Thanks for watching 😀👍
excellent Soviet fighter was the best of its generation
The first of their kind for the Soviets and these are a great looking aircraft too!!! Thanks for checking out the video!!!
nice model, looks like you paid way too much than what we pay in US I don’t know if every country is different.
Yeah looks nice. Unfortunately diecast is expensive here, so is a lot of stuff like a box of beer (24 cans 375ml) is over $50. I don't smoke but a packet of some cigarettes is $50. Fuel is around $2 a litre for unleaded98 which is i guess around $8 a gallon for you guys 🤣
@@heavymetaldiecast It seems that you have outrageous prices in Australia.
@@PatriotFalcon that is true, we are over taxed here. Cost of living is high, so now imagine how much it's costing me to do this channel,haha. Lucky I'm doing it for enjoyment. 🤣
Just imagine if you changed the name of the channel and people could find it and the money you could make to buy more models but I know you just want to do what you do.
Maybe stop buying and do some comparison videos God knows youve got enough.
You drive me crazy.
Haha not sure if your joking or serious but either way is fine 🤣. Never been about money for me with this channel. It's all about keeping myself busy because I'm unable to work a normal job due to an injury. If I ever wanted to make tons of money on UA-cam I wouldn't choose diecast as the subject 🤣 I will be doing some comparisons eventually 🤣 just working out a format for that. I apologise if I'm driving you crazy 🤣 your not my ex wife are you 🤣 I appreciate you dropping past and the feedback. Cheers 😀👍
