DoctorWho Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Busy with another what-if. More updates soon http://airlinebuzz.com/forums/entry.php?186-PIMP-MY-VIGILANTE!-A-past-kitbash-all-y-all-might-appreciate! Quote
Sheriff001 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Here's a WIP, a RAAF F-106. I'm not all together happy with it. It seems a bit ... sparse. Anyway, more than happy to hear suggestions about how to add to it, or modify it. 1 Quote
PraetorH Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 The most obvious suggestion would be RAAF camouflage... :) Quote
Sheriff001 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Good idea, but quite a way beyond my abilities at this point. Right now, I'm up to playing with decals, single colour repaints, and putting on the RCAF racing stripe. Incidentally, I found this little treasure on the internet: Never used in real life, of course. But I think it would look highly impressive. Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 yes Gen. Agan, head of ADC in 68-69 wanted to give back to the war effort in Nam. pushed for better canopy, guns, camo and AAR capabilty in the Six fleet. i believe the three upgrades that made it were called Project Six Shooter, along with improved cockpit displays. the camo never made it in practice but did make it into the manual.....

Sheriff001 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Yes, i rather thought so. It's a shame. Quote

Sad indeed, the Six may have looked cool in camo. I do not think there is a F-106-template out, so camo might be extremely difficult to do anyway... :( Quote

I do not think there is a F-106-template out, so camo might be extremely difficult to do anyway... :( More than you think. The wings are mirror mapped so you can't get a true 'wrap around camo'. And templates are easier than you think...I made custom ones for these F-106 mods: http://combatace.com/topic/63073-what-if-screenshot-thread/page__st__800#entry572643 Pretty much the only thing that changed between each coloration was the tail flash and the colors themselves...all the rest of the template is in different layers.

RogerSmith Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Not Quite the result I wanted. should it be Less stripes and more parted from each other? 1 Quote

RogerSmith Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Why? Because I Can. Yes I'm angry today, so sue me Quote

Incidentally, I found this little treasure on the internet: Never used in real life, of course. But I think it would look highly impressive. Blue /grey camo in that pattern would be kickass on the 106. Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I don't know what it is about the 102/106, but I just HATE it! But seeing it in the RAAF decals, or even seeing it in camo would look really interesting. Quote

RogerSmith Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Handley-Page B-59B Victors - 93rd BW, USAF Strategic Air Command, 1966 Where can I find? Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 The plane itself is a DAT production, and the skin is not released (yet ?). Quote
Spinners Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Where can I find? Sorry mate but it was just a lash-up to see what it would look like and it's certainly not polished enough for release. However, the grey/white skin is in one of the Victor downloads at the DAT site (which is odd because no Victor flew with that scheme). Quote
