The de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide is available at Capun's site as a Spanish Civil War aircraft. I'm working on an IDF/AF skin (circa 1948) for it. If you have a spare NZ$787,500 (The way currencies are bouncing around at the moment I wont even try to put that in Euros or US$s) there's is one for sale locally.

Thanks for spotting the omission Lloyd, I've updated the list for that and for Stormtroopers WIP Skyray skin.

 

Looking forward to your Rapide skin - any chance of a preview pic?

Hey Allenjb42.

What about the A-4N Ahit model ?

This a/c had done some hard work in the Lebanon.Did no one of the modding community pay any attention to this one.

It had a modern HUD and RWR system and could cary LGB's.

BTW,can I use a stock Kfir C2 cockpit to match up with the A-4H to create The A-4N ?

 

Thanks

A progress shot. Early days - I haven't got the camo lined up - but its a start.

Here's a walk-around of the A-4N. Don't know if it's any use to you guys.

[+allenjb42]

List updated for Stormtrooper's excellent fictional Skyray skin.

 

Lloyd, do you want me to scan and send you the relevant pages from the Norton book?

[Viggen]

Allen, some of the links you have posted, no longer work. Is there a chance you could remove those?

[+allenjb42]

Sure - can you tell me which ones?

 

If not then I'll just work my way down the list and update as necessary.

LLoyd - can you let me have your email addy please - pm will be fine.

 

Viggen - I've removed those bad links. It looks like some of the older models have been removed.

 

Unfortunately this leaves us without an Israeli F-16C at CA. The only one available is in the F-16 package at Avsim. Are TMF working on something?

 

Also, I've updated the list for Veltro's superb new Vatour, and the WIP list for Stormtrooper's UH-60 skin(s) and the DAT Lockheed Constellation.

 

Thanks to everyone for their contributions.

[Viggen]

The Mirage Factory must be using General Dynamic's Fort Worth, mile long production line running with the F-16 WIPS they've got coming :yes:

[+Crusader]

totally wrong.. only WIPs atm are 2053 F-4 Phantoms and about 1732 F-8 Crusaders.... but I cant tell you, its a secret ....

[+76.IAP-Blackbird]

I take 58 phantoms and ummmmm, ... those crusaders.. maybe 12... no better 14.

[+allenjb42]

A quick update to the main list for Stormtrooper's excellent UH-60 skin - thanks very much for filling in this glaring gap mate

 

Also added to the WIP list for 76.IAP-Blackbird's very promising and somewhat ironic 'reverse-engineering' conversion of the J-10 to the IAI Lavi - looking forward to this one - in camo maybe?

 

[+76.IAP-Blackbird]

nice find! I ha ve no templates for this bird, all is just paintshop. I startet on a israel F-16 like desert skin. This camo scheme looks good also will try my skills on it but can`t promise anything cause the mapping is a bit strange in it`S way.

 

Lavi prototype skin was released.

Lavi twoseater in the works but with some compromise for the second pilot

also the desert skin in the pipe.

[+LloydNB]

I should have this posted in the next couple of days.

 

LloydNB

[+allenjb42]

Great stuff Lloyd. Looking forward to it.

 

BTW, DAT have posted WIP shots of a Cessna T-41 Mescalero, aka Cessna 172. The IAF operated 2 of them in the 1970s. I'll look up the dates, but IIRC they wore the standard IAF camo of the period.

[+allenjb42]

List updated for Lloyd's Rapide skin, triplethr3at's TA-4H, wilco's A-4N (Early), DAT's Cessna T-41 Mescalero and Lockheed Constellation, and Velto2K's Vatours (how did I miss those?).

 

Thanks very much to all concerned, and keep up the great work guys.

List updated for Veltro's great Hudson and xearl's A-4E_IAF

 

As we seem to have dropped off the sticky section, I'll keep updating the list, and if anyone has any WIP shots or anything else Israeli related then please feel free to post here and keep the thread in view.

 

We seem to have quite a few Isreali weapons in the various weapons packs, so I'll post links to the packs, specifying which weapons are available in each as soon as I get some time.

[Viggen]

No screenies at the moment, but I have a modern WOI campaign in the works. It's been sitting on my HD, and I'll need to update it a little...perhaps add the "Lavi"...:ph34r:

That's great news man.

A WOI modern campaign is much needed here.

The LAVI your'e talking about is a reskined J-10 ,is it ?

[+aleks]

SINGLE SEATER LAVI IS ON THE WAY, BUT I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROL SURFACES AND INIS....ANYBODY INTERESTED IN GIVING ME A HAND?
