PraetorH Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) There was no ban on the export of the A-10 and certainly for busting Soviet tanks other nations than the US had an equal if not greater interest... It is just that those nations (continental European NATO) had just used up their financial resources on their own projects, and one of those, the Tornado, was supposed to be their tank buster. PS: if you think that is a sacrilege, you better should not see my current project on a US bird Edited March 24, 2011 by PraetorHonoris Quote

Better not be a Tomcat in Iranian markings... or Libyian Markings... damn forgot the first one is real Nah, still within NATO. Although, now as you mentioned it...

+Wrench Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) did that in 2007 (at least, that's the date on the _data.ini)... called it "Viking Mk.3" to keep with the V-Bomber family (have it in anti-flash white too) wrench kevin stein Edited April 1, 2011 by Wrench Quote
Spinners Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 did that in 2007 Not quite Kevin. Mine is the prop job whilst yours appears to be a jet. Lovely work though! Quote
PraetorH Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Somehow I doubt Croatia would need such a plane Still very nice, russouk! Quote
+Wrench Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I stand corrected .. somehow didn't notice the props!! (old age????) You want the Viking? I'll never find time to finsh it off... wrench kevin stein Quote
Spinners Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Rockwell F-13A - No.805 Squadron, Royal Australian Navy, 1979 I stand corrected .. somehow didn't notice the props!! (old age????) You want the Viking? I'll never find time to finsh it off... Yes, it'll be nice to show the folks over at the 'what if modelers' website - thank you. Quote
+Julhelm Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Correct designation for that would be FV-12, as would the Convair 201 I think. Both being SCS fighter designs. Quote
Spinners Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Not too sure about that because of the existence of the YF-12A (the Blackbird based interceptor). Quote
Gunrunner Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Wrong Spinners, even though the 12th slot for the F- series was indeed attributed to the interceptor variant of the A-12/SR-71, FV-12 is not a F- series slot, but a V- series one (like OV-1, OV-10, MV-22, AV-8 and a few others). Thus FV-12 is free and was indeed reserved for that program. Quote
Spinners Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 LOL I guess the clue is in the name - XFV-12! Quote
Gunrunner Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 To be fair the nomenclature is sometimes quite confusing if not confused and has a lot of exceptions and peculiarities. Quote
