Long hard week working on YAP's Set 10 in YAP3 format. Finding shadow spikes, moire in meshes but we are getting there. Putting missions together. The scenery is so good now, it's fun just to watch.

Another groundobject to decorate the airports so they look like a war.



Just a nice shot.



Our new A-26K pre-paint. Nice, though.



RLAF T-28 over Na Khang.



Lima site.



Actually, you are supposed to do this after landing. And some of the landings will be appropriately impossible.



Two more groundobjects.



MPPD's Voodoo needs a repaint. And that shadow spike welded.



Two groundobject Hueys in 101st colors




The mechs at Camp Eagle before the ultimate gunship fight.



Gotta re-pose these guys...or maybe they just don't want to go?





Snakes arriving at the Last Stand.



Covey FAC at the Last Stand.



We have a target date for release that I think we will make. A long explanation of what we are sending out will be sent out soon. It's pretty good. It is a lot of work but we are very proud of where we have taken old WOV.

We have two aircraft on their way for Set 10 missions but they will arrive in time. As you can surmise, we are going places that aren't normally visited in war games to do things that weren't talked about much.

Very impressive!

I need a break! But I did have time for one nit-picking thing that has bothered me for years. The napalm cans. Now they look right.

Attention to detail at its best!

I have a question regarding the YAP3 conversion/mod. I have read about mission series 1 and 10 being worked, will the other 8 be modified in due time also?

Vr NIELS

All of them are going to be reworked in order and replaced; 1) at the website store for any new customers and 2) sent out as replacements for any current owners that want them (or a new customer that buys a YAP2 set still at the store). We aren't charging customers to replace their YAP2 mission sets. We may charge a small fee for YAP3. It is taking a lot of time and money to convert.

We intend to replace several aircraft and bring them up to a higher standard like in Rising Sun. Those will be inducements rather than objects for sale if we can afford it. There are a few new models we with to introduce but they do not fit into any mission set. We don't know how we will deal with that yet.

The process of changing missions sets over should go quickly.

Details: Maybe too much?

Outstanding - the more detail the better!

One down, one to go...

The magnificent...Dollar Nineteen. (Huh?) Stay with me here.

Have you ever seen this painting? It hangs at CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA. It's "Earthquake's Last Flight". It is about a drop by American mercenaries the day before the French surrender and long after AAA was considered lethal in the valley by everyone else.



I heard the story...several versions...of James McGovern at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu from Air America guys a long time ago. At the time, they had not recovered his remains or acknowledged that he was an American at war.

So with great detail we put together his plane...the C-119. Some pics (not done yet).



All this for one mission? We have done it before in Big Mother and that included a ship from Hinch. Our motto at YAP is "Is anyone here good at math?"



Speed brake.



Zoom in on this pic.



On the way to Dien Bien Phu.



Drop over the camp.



So...540506 Earthquake McGoon. The first Yankee Air Pirate to die in the air war in Southeast Asia.



So...you kinda see where we are going.

The last addition will be ready on time and it will knock your socks off.

I admire this attention to detail. Looking forward to YAP3

Final paint C-119C. It was too clean.

Clamshells will be removed for the mission.







What's missing from this picture? The puddle of oil beneath the engine. We have a tga....no.





Cat Bi being made 1954-ready.





C-47, we know but a C-119 pit for one mission was way over budget.
