Desert Storm 1 Game Download Full Version

[Ellyn Krucke]

TheM998 high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle, or HMMWV (Humvee), entered service in October of 1985. While the base vehicle is used for troop and cargo transport, the Humvee is highly customizable and dozens of variations exist today. Equipped with basic levels of armor, the Humvee was and still is the workhorse of the U.S. Armed Forces in the same way the MUTT and other 1/4 ton trucks were from previous generations. The M998 carries a crew of two along with eight passengers or up to 2,500 lbs. of cargo. The standard cargo variant uses a canvas top that covers the bed and the four doors. The M998 is built on an aluminum frame, making it air transportable, and its diesel engine could reach speeds of 70mph. The basic M998 could have machine guns or TOW missile launchers installed to offer convoy and troop protection.

While seeing some use in Operation Just Cause in 1989, the first widespread use of the M998 was the Gulf War in 1991. Its off-road capability and ease of maintenance led to its success and is a large reason why it is still used today.

The Humvee M998 Tactical Vehicle kit comes with a printed hood grille, windscreen panel, and custom canvas covering. The design is sleek, durable, and ready to handle whatever storm the desert throws at it!

I'm bumping this back to the top to see if we can put this issue to bed one last time. Please, please, please post photos of any legitimate 91 Topps Desert Shield variations you possess. PSA requires a few of them for its team sets, and I'd like to convince them that they don't exist (hard to do).

I contend that all of the cards listed incorrectly in the POP REPORT are unlabeled, and PSA dumped them incorrectly in the "corrected" slot when someone finally requested (for some insane reason) that their DS show the uncorrected error. My McGwire (for instance) is unlabeled, but PSA thinks it's the .618 Slg % card. Obviously PSA should stop labeling DS cards with any error/correction information, since that applies only to the regular set.

My assessment is that no errors exist for 1991 Topps Desert Storm because they were all printed in one run. There were never different plates from another printing to provide "corrected" versions. Slight variations in the print quality or alignment would be possible though.

I trade PMs with Zach from time to time and will ask him to pop in here with any further info he has. But proving a negative to PSA may be as hard as getting them to recognize a 1967 Topps Moeller variation

The irony is that trying to get PSA to acknowledge an actual error or variation, even when they literally have BOTH VERSIONS in their hands, is like trying to get a wet noodle up a bobcat's arse in a telephone booth. "It has to be cataloged in a hobby reference blah blah blah..."

Meanwhile, they just took it upon themselves to whip up this recipe of insane labeling because... ? What could have possibly prompted such a move? If I were to guess... 4SC probably has the pull to do it. They figured they'd create a market and have the first 10, a pop 1, and wham-o, nice ROI.

I have looked at perhaps 10,000 1991 Topps DS cards now and I do not believe legit variations exist. I think there were some 1991 Topps cards with variations that have a fake DS logo on them. Perhaps even some were graded. I've looked hard, but can't find legit variations. Every "variation" I've seen has a fake logo.

However, I think you may find some ink variations on the back. It appears they added a brightener to the red ink early on in the printing of the set, leading to the "Glowback" cards. I think a high percentage - maybe 98-99% follows the same trend as detailed in the set of threads posted above. It is a very odd set and I have enjoyed collecting it.

And that was it. Like that, he was gone. No one ever heard from Bob again. Some say PSA agents got him and gave him an untimely demise. Others think he just went mad and stumbled into the Louisiana bayou only to wind up getting passed through an alligator's colon. What do I think, you ask?

I think the desert's shield holds many mysteries not intended for man's feeble mind. Beware to those who wish to tangle with it. For there be-ith no water in the great... sandy... bad place... realm. Damn, I lost it.

Just one more armor posting for this week. I am doing my best to catch up with some of you guys as a new member. Thank you all again for your help and encouragement so far. It's a big inspiration to keep building.

This is my Tamiya Challenger I Mk. 3 in 1/35. For the desert version, I had to add some applique armor strips that I scratchbuilt with evergreen sheet styrene. The turret basket is Eduard, as are all the myriad grab handles which replace the plastic bumps in the kit. Fiddly work but I like the effect. I filled the turret basket with stowage but it is invisible under the tarp, which I made from tin foil tied down with wire. Pics showed British tanks had well covered stowage in the dusty conditions.

The tracks are my first venture into Friulmodel metal links. They went on very nicely, although it was odd to be painting over them in places to simulate"rubber" pads. The main desired effect of the metal links was to give the tracks realistic sag. Nothing looks more like heavy metal than heavy bits of metal. I redid the Gerry Can baskets on the side skirts with styrene strips so they looked thin enough and added some water cans.

Painted in my own mix of British Gulf War Armor Sand mixed from Tamiya Desert Yellow, Dark Yellow , Sail Color, Buff and Deck Tan. Weathered as usual with oils washes over gloss coat, CMK pigments, pastels, etc. Decals were aftermarket, I think. The figure is from the kit, BTW, and was painted with a tiny brush in Lifecolor acrylics. Frotunately, they brush very well without clumping so were ideal to do the camo pattern on the shirt.

Thanks, Ilan. I currently use my Ipad Air 2 for model photography indoors. Here is what Apple says about the lens: "The iPad Air 2 features an 8MP backside illuminated sensor that takes pictures through a five-element lens and hybrid IR filter. The f/2.4 aperture is the same as its predecessor." I don't understand all of that, but it takes good pictures. I also have a Canon Rebel ios. DSLR, but I haven't got good indoor pics with it yet. Still working out the settings. If you're interested, I have another article a couple of pages back on how I took the photos using a very simple light booth (the subject model is a 32nd scale F-4J).

Nice! Friulmodel track links are my personal favorite. They were recommended to me in 2005 for the old Tamiya T-34/85 kit. I have used them for a Dragon Elefant, Tamiya Panther, Dragon Tiger II, Trumpeter KV-1 and the Tamiya JS-2 that is currently on my workbench. They are expensive, more than the cost of the kit!, but they are worth it.

Thanks, Jim. Yeah, Friulmodel has some expensive stuff. I grab sets when they come down in price somewhat on eBay. I have also had some pretty good results with plastic links, as in the Centurion Shot Cal I posted. Plastic is, of course A LOT cheaper. The main thing is getting that realistic sag. You have to simulate it carefully with plastic but metal track saves you the work. I also find the assembly of metal track fun - just like the real thing with pins and all.

Your Challenger looks superb Colin. I've always had a soft spot for British Main Battle Tanks. I'm getting ready to start the Takom Chieftain Mk.10. My hope is that it comes out half as good as your Challenger.

Thanks for your kind comment, Scott. I too like British tanks (post-war ones, anyway). I have the Takom Mk 5 which I will do one day as the Iranian version. I look forward to seeing what you do with the Mk.10.

Early on 17 January 1991, Operation desert shield came to an end when the air campaign of Operation desert storm began. Task Force normandy, consisting of nine AH-64 Apache helicopters from the U.S. Army's 101st Aviation Regiment, 101st ABN DVN (Air Assault), accompanied by four Air Force MH-53 Pave Low special operations helicopters, flying fast and low, opened fire at 0236 - Baghdad time - on 17 January.

After their 27 Hellfire missiles destroyed Iraqi radar sites, the Apaches followed with 100 Hydra-70 rockets that knocked out the associated anti-aircraft guns. The attack created a twenty-mile gap in the enemy's air defense network opening a corridor through which U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighters, supported by EF-111 Ravens, raced into Iraqi air-space virtually unopposed followed by hundreds of U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coalition fixed-wing aircraft and cruise missiles.

Finally, on 24 February, the ground war began. Hours before the start of the offensive, special reconnaissance teams from the 5th and 3d Special Forces Groups (Airborne), 1st Special Forces, flying out of King Khalid Military City on specially configured helicopters, were sent deep behind Iraqi lines to gather intelligence. Kicking off the main attack in bad weather, the XVIII Airborne Corps quickly made an end run around the open right flank of the Iraqi Army. Simultaneously, U.S. and allied forces in the east attacked directly north toward Kuwait City. The Tiger Brigade (1st Brigade, 2d Armored Division), supporting Marine Corps units, pushed directly north from Saudi Arabia through blazing Kuwaiti oil fields set on fire by retreating Iraqis. By midafternoon on the first day of battle, elements of the 101st and 82d Airborne Divisions were deep into Iraq, in one case just twenty-four miles south of the Euphrates River.
