Freiwillige Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 So I was playing with Mirage factory's F-5E tiger II and started using its Mig-28 skin from Top Gun and it gave me an idea for a campaign I am working on. I want to convert their F-5 into a real Mig-28 with a background story to boot. During the 1970's many poor nation's got F-5E's under the Darpa military assistance program. The E was an upgrade to earlier models. Paran was one of the leading users under their pro western sultan receiving over 350 of the aircraft to boost it fledgling democratic airforce as a buffer from the Pro communist nations that surrounded it and Dhimar from the south and east. But a civil war was brewing fueled by communist guerrilla's pouring across the border and a poor an sympathetic populace aiding these groups whose numbers swelled. Soon many in the military were showing signs of Communist fervor and sabotage became prominant in airbases around the nation. Fuel stocks were blown up. Aircraft were damaged to keep them from flying raids against the People's Communist Army. The king sensing impending doom fled to Dhimar and the loyalist faction flew out over 60 F-5E's still available but before they left they stripped the remaining F-5's of everything! Engines were grenaded avionics were stripped. These new airframes would never again fly against the loyalist faction of the king or so they thought. In come the Russians. Heavily subsidizing the rebuilding of Peran they like the US granted military equipment and sent technical experts to Paran. Some of these experts were from the Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau. The hundreds of Stripped F-5's were looked at, the few imediatly repairable ones were test flown and a decision was made. Updated with Soviet technology and avionics the Mig-28 was born. So that the Campaign story im working on as well as the mig 28 backstory. My idea is to get permision from mirage factory of course and update it with Soviet weapons and avionics and engines. A mig 29 style radar and cockpit. Anyone interested?? Quote
