Thanks, XRaider.

Very early WiP of the YF-21.

XRaiderV1.7 · 07-01-2008, 05:24 PM

you need to do the YF-19.
really.

Talos · 07-01-2008, 06:53 PM

I'm already starting on it today.

XRaiderV1.7 · 07-01-2008, 07:22 PM

thank you, very much.

Talos · 07-02-2008, 01:56 AM

I did start the YF-19, but haven't gotten enough done to show. I did get a lot done on the YF-21 though.

what happened to the vipers?

Talos · 07-02-2008, 05:02 AM

Got lost in the tide of aircraft, variable fighters, ships, et al.

Besides my Scorpion and Viper Mk. I family/IV/V/VII family, Bj's got the Mk II and VII shading and painting down. I'm concentrating in other areas, like Macross variable fighters.

Who knows, I probably should return to some soon. I'd like to clean up and improve my Viper Mk. I family (including the Mk. IV).

Well, after a very busy 4th I'm pretty much finished the first F-31A paint.

Quote:

With the introduction of the German-American F-31A into USAF service as a lightweight super-maneuverable fighter-interceptor, Several squadrons of older F-16As were converted to the new plane. Two of these were the 22d and 23d Fighter Squadrons of the 52d Fighter Wing, located in Spangdahlem Airbase, Germany.

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, NATO forces deployed as part of first the IFOR (Implementation Force) and then SFOR (Stabilization Force). A restructured and rebuilt Serbian military recommenced operations in late 1998, following deployment of new tank units and 6 used MiG-23s bought from Russia. All six of the fighters scrambled to intercept a NATO bombing raid on their airbase, spearheaded by a squadron of Tornado fighter-bombers from JG 74 "Mölders" of the Luftwaffe. A pair of 23d FS F-31As were providing top cover and met the MiGs on their own. Within 8 minutes, five of the MiGs were destroyed for no losses to Coalition forces.

Looking good Talos! my only nitpick is that it looks like the wing might be mounted too low to mount weapons pylons on without clanking on the runway.

Talos · 07-08-2008, 10:57 PM

Yeah, it wouldn't be able to carry much. A single AIM-9 or AGM-65, I would think should be able to fit on the pylons though. No TERs or anything. It'd be a light intercepter/fighter with limited ground attack capabilities (at least until systems like APKWS II come along).

Previews! Still needs the rest of its markings and new text, but it's getting there.
