!! Ι think I have a profile of that VT.2 with the Bofors 57 somewhere, while the last illustration shows OTO Melara 76. Do you know what year that Italian magazine was published? |

1977-78, I think Iraq received SR.N6 Mk6C just before the war with Iran, probably 1979-80. |

in 1976 Iran receives their hovercrafts: this picture is from the january 1977 number, ad is an MK5A with dummy missile launchers. I don't find any picture of iraqi boats |

If you search "SR.N6 Mk6C" in Google, there is an article in 1983 War Machine Book and few more photos. The Iraqi hovercraft were painted in a green-grey camo. BTW, these dummy missile launchers on above photo look very much to these in BH.7 Mk20 drawing on which I base my SB-scale drawing...Also on the article from italian magazine... |

I have started the BH.7 Mk6 (a WIP exists in this thread) and will also do SR.N6 Mk6. There are SR.N4, SR.N5 and single prop SR.N6 in the old archives somewhere. |

Question : Where can I created a new thread for the drawings? Some are never where (BH.7 Mk 6/Mk 20) and other entered service (e.g SR.N6 Mk6C) |
