During a proficiency exercise, Staff Sgt. Amanda Kudlas installs a transmission cable to a high-powered amplifier of the AN\USC-60A Flyaway Tri-band (FT) Satellite antenna next to one of two attached 3-in-1 Expandable Shelters. Behind her Tech. Sgt. Alexander Dale organizes RF cables. They are with the 15th Air Mobility Operations Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. on April 16, 2009. The 15th Expeditionary Mobility Task Force relies on cross-utilization to keep the human footprint small and setup as fast as 30-minutes to have the shelter and all support functions running with secure and non-secure satellite communication suites and network computer workstations for initial leadership to begin operations. This extends existing Air Mobility Command infrastructure, through both in-place employment and rapid forward deployment capabilities such as the DACE: Cafe-style Communications Operations which ensures precision, reliability of a Contingency Response Wing? worldwide mission. With on-call capabilities and configured with state-of-the art equipment such as the Deployable Air Mobility Division Communications Element DACE These DACE packages, operated by just five Airmen, provide deployed Airmen satellite capability, land mobile, HF and UHF/VHF radios. Because cross utilization occurs throughout the CRWs their footprint at forward locations is reduced to 1/10 of the personnel and fewer AFSCs are needed than a decade ago. CRWs are a product of 40 years of TALCE experience and lessons learned from OEF / OIF. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

The trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) with 15 days itinerary offers you the chance to explore additional areas than that offered by a short trek to ABC. Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of the widely sought for treks in Nepal. The trail to the base camp is filled with a unique landscape full of terraced fields of crops and upon reaching higher altitude one can enjoy the beauty of rhododendron trees and evergreen forests. The walk passes through Gurung and Magar villages that have a rich ethnic cultural way of living. The traditional way of life of Nepali people living in mountain region can clearly be observed here. The lodges around the region are well kept and typical Nepali cuisines are offered. The brightly coloured and well-kept tea houses and restaurants are found along the way where you can get good rest and enjoy your food. At the evening you will have a good entertainment with singing and dancing in Nepalese folk tunes by our team.
The trek starts from NayaPul to Annapurna Base Camp and back to Pokhara through Phedi. Mount Annapurna is a 10th highest peak in the world with the height of 8,091m. The trek to the base camp reaches the highest altitude of 4,130m/13,550ft. The walk through icy trail around Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp is quite slippery so you will have to be careful. The walk through the glacial ridges and view of the huge mountain peak right in front of you will give you an awesome experience that you are not likely to forget ever.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the model, the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: Fagot) was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In aerial combat during the Korean War, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles. In response to the MiG-15’s appearance and in order to counter it, the United States Air Force rushed the North American F-86 Sabre to Korea. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most produced jet aircraft evr, with more than 13,000 manufactured.
Beyond Czechoslovakia (with the Aero S-102 fighter and CS-102 trainer, Poland undertook the licensed production of the Soviet MiG-15 fighter jet, too. The locally manufactured versions were designated as the "Lim" series, "Lim" being an acronym for "Licencyjny Myśliwiec," which translates to "License Fighter." The primary manufacturing facility for this ambitious project was WSK Mielec, with WSK Świdnik serving as a key subcontractor, particularly for component production.
Preparations for the initial production of the Lim-1, the Polish equivalent of the original MiG-15, began at WSK Mielec in the summer of 1951. The very first Lim-1 aircraft, which was initially assembled from imported Soviet parts to facilitate employee training, successfully completed its maiden flight on July 17, 1952. The initial batch of six Lim-1 aircraft was officially delivered to the Polish military in September 1952. Subsequent production units began to be supplied to operational combat units starting in January 1953. The production run for the Lim-1 concluded on August 31, 1954, with a total of 237 units built across 12 production series.
Following the successful production of the Lim-1, Poland transitioned to manufacturing the Lim-2, which was the licensed version of the more advanced MiG-15bis. Remarkably, the first Lim-2 was produced on September 17, 1954, merely 17 days after the final Lim-1 rolled off the production line. Production of the Lim-2 continued until November 23, 1956. During this period, 530 aircraft were built across 20 production series, although some sources suggest a slightly lower figure of 496 aircraft.
Poland, while undertaking the licensed production of the MiG-15 fighter series, did not initially produce dedicated two-seat trainer versions of the MiG-15. Instead, to address the scarcity of the original Soviet-built MiG-15UTI trainers, Polish facilities undertook extensive modifications of existing single-seat Lim-1 and Lim-2 fighters to create their own two-seat trainer aircraft. These modified versions were designated SBLim-1 and SBLim-2, with "SB" standing for "Szkolno-Bojowy" (Trainer-Combat).
The SBLim-1 was created by converting single-seat Lim-1 fighter aircraft into two-seat trainer-combat variants. This conversion process began in 1957. The SBLim-2 was a later development, emerging in 1966. It represented a more complex modification than the SBLim-1. Uniquely, the SBLim-2 was often a "hybrid" aircraft. It combined the front section of an existing UTI MiG-15 (the Soviet-built trainer version) fuselage with the rear section of a Polish-produced Lim-2 fuselage. These aircraft were powered by the Polish-produced Lis-2 engine, which was a licensed version of the Soviet VK-1 turbojet engine.
The SBLim-2 was formally introduced into service in December 1967, serving as the Polish equivalent to the Soviet MiG-15UTI. It played a crucial role as a trainer for pilots destined to fly various Polish-produced jet aircraft, including the Lim-2, Lim-5 (MiG-17), and Lim-6bis (MiG-17 variants), and even pilots for the newer Su-7 and Su-20 aircraft. Like the SBLim-1, the SBLim-2 carried fixed armament, commonly one NR-23 cannon or an A-12.7 machine gun.
On the domestic two-seaters’ basis, Poland also developed specialized variants for reconnaissance and artillery spotting tasks. These were known as SBLim-1Art and SBLim-2Art. These aircraft carried an additional observer/navigator in the rear seat, equipped with appropriate observation and communication equipment for their specific roles.
The SBLim-2A was a Polish modification of the SBLim-2 aircraft, which in turn was a Polish developmental version of the two-seat MiG-15UTI training aircraft (a two-seat version of the MiG-15 fighter jet). In 1965, some SBLim-1 and SBLim-2 aircraft were adapted for artillery observation and fire correction tasks, receiving the designations SBLim-1A and SBLim-2A respectively. The primary role of the SBLim-2A was artillery observation and fire correction, but the aircraft were also used for reconnaissance and SAR missions (see below). The rear cockpit was adapted for an observer by removing some equipment. On some aircraft the armament was also increased to two 23 mm cannons, and the aircraft was equipped with AFA-21 and AFA-39 photographic cameras and an S-13 photocannon.
The SBLim-2A aircraft constituted an important element of the Naval Aviation, providing support for artillery units and contributing to the fleet's reconnaissance capabilities. Its service, although relatively short in the reconnaissance role, was a significant stage in the development of Polish naval aviation. The major SBLim-2A operators was the Polish Navy Aviation's 7th Special Naval Aviation Regiment, which underwent significant transformations and operational changes throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1983, the unit was renamed the 7th Naval Fighter-Bomber Regiment and transitioned into a fighter-bomber unit. At this time, its fleet included 36 Lim-6 bis, 8 Lim-2 SB, and 5 TS-11 Iskra aircraft. Also in 1983, the 28th Naval Rescue Squadron was reorganized into the 16th Naval Special Aviation Regiment. The Polish Navy began acquiring Mi-14 helicopters in the early 80s, with anti-submarine (PŁ) versions delivered between 1981 and 1983, and Search and Rescue (SAR) versions following in 1984. Towards the end of the decade, in 1989, the Navy received its first two W-3T version W-3 Sokół helicopters for training and transport, soon followed by four W-3RL Anakonda emergency versions.
In 1988 a major restructuring took place. The existing 7th Fighter-Bomber Regiment, the 16th Special Aviation Regiment, and the 15th Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Squadron were all disbanded. A new 7th Naval Special Aviation Regiment was then formed, operating from airfields in Siemirowice and Darłowo. The operation of Lim-6 bis aircraft was officially discontinued in the same year.
On April 1, 1991, units stationed in Darłowo formed the 40th Anti-Submarine and Rescue Squadron. The 7th Special Aviation Regiment of Siemirowice was ultimately disbanded on January 1, 1996, and replaced by the 3rd Kashubian Air Squadron and 5th Security Battalion.
SBLim-1A aircraft were withdrawn from service by 1975. The SBLim-2A were retired in the early 1990s, but this was not the end of their career. Some were, however, after the 7th Special Aviation Regiment had been termintaed, converted back to training versions during overhauls and re-designated as SBLim-2M. The last examples of the SBLim-2M were withdrawn from service in the early 1990s.

The kit and its assembly:
This is another Hobby Boss MiG-15, but this time the two-seat trainer kit. While it effectively a what-if model, this project is very close to reality – in fact it’s only the paint scheme (even though this was inspired by a real Polish Navy SBLim-2A, see below) and tactical code that are fictional, or rather a personal interpretation or real-world things.
The Midget was built OOB, and external difference to an earlier baseline MiG-15 (e. g. shape and position of the airbrakes) will only be obvious to expert eyes. The Mig_15 kit is one of the more complex Hobby Boss kits (read: more than just a fuselage plus wings and some bits to stick onto this base) like the company’s F9F or Hawker Seahawk and IMHO pretty good and crisp. It’s still quite simple, but it features many small detail parts to be added to the airframe that yield a convincing model, including a surprisingly well detailed cockpit tub, a nice landing gear and two different pairs of underwing tanks (slipper and drop-shaped tanks with fins).
While it goes together well there are some watchouts:
- Locator pins inside the air intake should be sanded away, they are visible from certain angles
- The canopy’s locator pins should be removed, too, and I split the part for open cockpit display
- Do not forget to add nose weight, even though there is little internal space for it
Painting and markings:
While it looks as if it had been painted in a fever dream this Midget is very close to reality! The Polish Navy SBLim-2As all carried individual camouflage paint schemes, with three and sometimes even fopur different colors, and wide and wild color choices! For my build I adapted the scheme of a real aircraft coded “2004 Red”, of which I only had a starboard profile drawing, though. So, the colors and the pattern from the left and above had to be guessed, and I gave it a fictional new tactical code. To make things look even more spectacular I adopted a painting detail from another SBLim-2A (“6010 Red”): it had, probably during overhaul, been re-touched with fresh bluish dark green paint (a tone NOT part of its original camouflage in dark green, erath brown, a bluish grey and rather yellowish sand or ochre tone) in many places, e. g. on leading edges, around the cockpit and over some inspection flaps. A wild and shaggy look, even though I am certain that the aircraft were in a very good shape.
Finding appropriate tones for everything took a while, and I settled for bright Humbrol 89 (mid Blue) underneath and Model Master 2031 (Blue FS 35109), Humbrol 149 (Dark Green, FS 34092), Revell 43 (USAF Neutral Grey, FS 36270) and Model Master 2134 (Fulcrum Gray Green). The touch-ups werre done with thinned Humbrol 3 (Brunswick green). The drop tanks (in this case I used the standard pylon-mounted variant) were painted with aluminum metallizer.
The cockpit tub was painted in the dreaded Soviet anti-fatigue teal, with a black dashboard and dark grey seats. The landing gear and the respective wells were painted in a grey tone (Revell 43), with bright green wheel discs as contrast, using good benchmark pics from literature (e. g. the exhaustive “Mikoyan MiG-15” by Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Komissarov).
The markings mostly came from a Gran MiG-15UTI kit that I had procured for this project because of its decals sheet – it includes markings for a 7th Special Naval Aviation Regiment SBLim-2A, specifically the unit’s badge consisting of an owl perched on top of an anchor. The same sheet provided the national markings as well as the many blue stencils, which add a modern touch to the vintage Midget. The tactical code was puzzled together from single red digits, from a PLAAF aircraft (Trumpeter).
Some panel shading was done as well as dry-brushing with light grey to add a used look, and finally the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish and the wire antenna, made from heated black sprue material, was mounted between cockpit and fin.

With a little careful adjustment the focusing is buttery-smooth! A great feature of using an acme screw rather than a traditional rack and pinion is that focus remains securely locked wherever you leave it. No additional knobs to tighten, just focus with the big knob and leave it - it will NOT move. There isn't even any backlash! Of course the drawer slides play a significant role in both the great extent and great stability of the focus movement. They do add some weight, but they sure work well.

Un anillo de macro actual no sirve, su carcasa de plástico es gruesa y supera el diámetro del agujero de la base macro. Tiene que ser un viejo PK-13 de metal, un tubo sencillo sin transmisión de diafragma es más barato y tiene menor diámetro y habría que adaptarlo, este no necesita nada. Encaja sin transformación aunque solo sirve en modos manual y apertura y pierde el aufoco, que por otra parte no nos servirá de mucho en macro, aunque hay que darle alguna vuelta a la idea para podre hacer apilado de foco con los modelos de cámara o aplicaciones tipo DigiCamControl que sí lo permiten.
