Forget "Patriot", forget "Iron Dome", I give you "Iron Willy"......

........Franonia's new controversial air defence system!

To keep the skies safe over Franonia we have accepted this generous gift from another nation of the latest in air defence/eradication........

15mm all metal from GZG, little feckers to put together but that could be just me?

Had some resin tents and these are for operations and support staff, plus a 15mm figure to give an idea of scale.......





The 15mm US figure representing scale in no way represents the donating nation..........

    "Iron willy"? Sounds like the sort of instruction a dominatrix would give to one of her masochist slaves! ;)

    We'll believe you that these are for AA defence and *not* for first strike against Rayonia :)

    'tis good they're so small, don't think the queen of Franonia would let you keep the real sized ones in the royal gardens....

    The Donating Nation has been generous indeed. Air defence I think not.... that would imply that Rayonia had more than hot air balloons, which "Postie Defense journal weekly" confirms they do not!

      If you keep up this arms race Clintistan may well need to build up forces to protect our own borders! This level of escalation jeopardises peace in the whole area! As an ally I ask you for restraint!

      Clintistan is a good ally of Franonia but the insulting rhetoric from Rayonia is hard to ignore!

    I'll try and avoid the cock jokes Fran, I'd only balls it up. Where's the tent from, could it be used for 20mm?

    You've gotta keep those skies clear for O'Leary Air as we are the primary supplier of beer and strippers for Franonia. And don't forget, I'm talking to Putin about getting you some weapons grade plutonium. He thinks I'm cute, so I'm pretty sure it's a done deal :0)

      You got is big guy-we've removed all the seats to make room for your supplies. I'm having dinner with Putin tomorrow night at our Moscow branch of Shenanigan's Pub. Pretty sure we'll finalize the deal then.

    Very impressive, but how does it compare to the rival Phat Dhong delivery system?

    Let the fighting begin! I'll remain neutral so as not to upset either side...great job, Fran!

    I would have thought a single iron would be sufficient, two just seems a wee bit too cocky willy

    As a loyal citizen of Franonia, I will sleep much better knowing Franonia's skies are protected by these.
