+ludo.m54 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 After some hard drive troubles, I finally re-start to work on the A4-T (French Navy Skyhawk project, refused in 1972) It's a very early WIP, still a lot of work to do, but any advice will de appraciate... Ludo Quote
MAKO69 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Its a tradgedy they didnt take on that little sports car. The French pilots would have had a blast. Quote
Emp_Palpatine Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Looking great! I would like to see more... as this girl: And F-18 too. A shame we did not ordered it in the 80's, would have been great for our fleet. Quote

Ludo Might be wrong, but navy planes do bears the roundel on both wings, not on one in the US style. http://cocardes.monde.online.fr/v2html/fr/...mar1_supet.html A two tone like this super etendart looks good for a front line plane.

Stratos Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Great one!! Hope you can create a early version for the A4C and or A4E Quote
+ludo.m54 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks a lot for your support... But I've got a little problem : I cannot supprim this little white line... so if somebody can help me, it would be great... Thanks Ludo Quote

Emp_Palpatine Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 A little number of Rafale are now in service, and they entered it a few years ago. They were planed to join in the early 90's... From the late 70's to the early 2000's, our fleet air arm lacked a modern fighters. The cruze was awesome, but hey, obsolete all the way. That's why a purchase of the F-18 was studied but some nationalist arguments made it fail. For 20 years, we had to keep the Cruze... Quote

Emp_Palpatine Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 It's an old photo I found on Check six. It dates back to when the eagle was evaluated by the Armée de l'Air in the late 70's, before the oil crisis, when France did not lack money and was willing to have an heavy interceptor: hence the F-15 trials and the Mirage 4000 project.

fougamagister Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Ahah amusant de voir un "scooter" bien de chez nous :] >> French Navy Hornet Quote

Emp_Palpatine Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately I don't. I've search the web for a pic of a french tested F-18 too, but did not manage to find one. Edited July 14, 2008 by Emp_Palpatine Quote
MAKO69 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I think that would be a great skin a French Naval Hornet. Another sports car they missed out on. Those damn polititions always mukking up the guys trying to fly the cool planes. It happens all over the world. New Zealand and the f-16 fiasco, Australia and the loss of their naval carrier fleet in '84 tried to get Harriers got squashed oh well. Unfortunately I don't.I've search the web for a pic of a french tested F-18 too, but did not manage to find one. Edited July 15, 2008 by MAKO69 Quote
Emp_Palpatine Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 The Mirage 4000 was a good plane, it would have been cool to have it. Nevertheless I don't think there is such thing as shame to buy a foreign plane when one needs it (read: buy F-18) and can't provide it in a speedfull and efficient manner. But, we must save rafale, and blablabla... So, more than 20 years of waiting for the Navy, and no modern fighter from the 80's to the 2000's. Quote
Syrinx Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 The Skyhawk is a classy lady who always looks good, no matter what clothes she wears. Excellent job Ludo ! Quote
+ludo.m54 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Posted July 19, 2008 Just for fun... or may be more... Ludo Quote
MAKO69 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Way to cool , great work on French Skyhawk. Just for fun... or may be more... Ludo Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Damn this looks so cool.. like this painting! Quote
Spinners Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 That Scooter is da bomb. It's so sick. (Disturbingly, Spinners is getting down with the kids) Quote
+ludo.m54 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 High visibility skin is almost done, just some details to fix, and decals to do (I'm waiting for ID numbers of the aircrafts) and it will be OK : Low visibility skin still need t be work again... And I've a question : Should I release only skins sets or complete aircrafts (A4-T early and late) ? Ludo Quote
