Soon I will upload the A-6A Late. screenshot by Coupi

CHINESE DRAGONS

IMHO, the problem is with the pylons - they are a bit too high indeed. The cutout in the flap is there. If one would check the last but one picture and compare with the last one, one would definitely see the pylons are a bit too high. Just compare the position of right inner pylon lowest point at the front against the right main gear door as reference.

Step 2 blendig the tiles with Sea tiles. (Stille jpg files, no tga, thatswhy no waves. Will come later.)

Fixed

As promised, i started to make Sark island by using sat pictures. So it looks at the moment: The height data does not fit to the tiles. I must adjust it later. For comparison, in front is Herm island, where the tiles already are finished, and in background is Sark island in a very early development state.

Station 1,2,4,5 can be equipped with Aero 5A-1 launcher - for Shrike and Bulpup, LAU-7A on ADU-299 adapter for AIM-9 Sidewinder. LAU-78 was for A-6B and Standard ARM missile also on 1,2,4,5 stations. LAU-117 for AGM-65 and LAU-118 for HARM but those are for A-6E already. And also on 1,2,4,5 stations.

Hi ravenclaw_007 Jut checking, did you ever release this little beauty for the F-104G? Cheers Snapper21

I will make three models one with the ALR15 which is uploaded also the upcoming A-6A late with the AN/APR-25 and the last one will be with the AN/ALQ-100

As for late A-6A...AN/ALQ-100 antenna - which was introduced somewhere in February 1968. two months late they replaced ALR15 with AN/APR-25. Of course, some older airframes were retrofitted too.

wingtip speed brakes were added at BuNo 149940 and soon after delivery to operational squadrons fuselage mounted speed brakes were deactivated. 149940 was the 26th Intruder built. Even after deactivation, it was still possible to open fuselage speed brakes - only on the ground for maintenance and other stuff that needed access through the brake well. The fuselage speed brake was entirely deleted from production from BuNo 154170 those are airframes that at some point had operational fuselage speed brakes (1st and 2nd contracts went mostly for modification prototypes EA-6,KA-6 etc..) most from the rest of the list were converted into KA-6D. 1st contract. 147864 147865 147866 147867 2nd contract. 148615 148616 148617 148618 3rd contract 149475 149476 149477 149478 149479 149480 149481 149482 149483 149484 149485 149486 4th contract. 149935 149936 149937 149938 149939 149940 On the inboard flap, there is a circular cutout to provide clearance above 300gal tank. So something is wrong with the model. Either flaps should extend more...or pylons are slightly too high. Or both ..or Something needs to be determined. It would be extremely COOL if you could add to the main model various A/A37B-6/5 ejector racks. Ravenclaw has a marvelous model. I am sure that something can be arranged. Built-in MERs/TERs can give us countless mix loadout options - known for this bomb truck. Also, specific launch rails for Shrikes, Standard ARM, winders etc. would be great. This would give a significant advantage over the stock Thirdwire model. So we do not have to screw around with fake pilot pylons, rails etc.

^ ^ ^ "but i wanna use mine......." i know that song too

When Canada used to be a nation led by sane leaders...CT-144

Yes, both:

Thank you I will try to take another look it looks like you are correct.

Thank you so much again for your mutch parachuted feedback, I will do my best to correct and upload.

nothing too complex today, just some Hogs that moved in to Knob Noster from Dickie Goober.....

You know what, as I did the skin last night (thanks to Ant's templates), and the Ala12 badge and cross decal, I'm just gonna do it for myself. No sense in tossing out out a job half done! (at least I'll be able to post screenies on the next Phantom Phriday)

Well,hell! That explains why I couldn't find it!!! I was looking under F-4 Phantom skins directly, not for a C.12!!! Oh well. Looking over that mod, the only thing I can improve upon it, other than 'attaching' it to the F-4C, is using Sundowner skins, and redoing the numberlist to actually have the EdA number. Thanks for all the input folks!! Back to the Mirages!!!

I thought they called the Atlantic 'the pond' not the lake .

File upload A-6A Early Intruder enjoy.

I'm glad it's working! Thanks for uploading the updated campaign files, I'll put them to use. Always good to have an extra campaign for a terrain. Slainthe!

MiG-21F-13, LSK/LV (East German Air Force), Jagdfliegergeschwader 9, Peenemünde, 1967

Northrop F-5D Freedom Fighter - No.75 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force, 1968 The New Zealand Government's decision to send troops to Vietnam in 1964 was highly controversial but was simply an escalation of the previous position of New Zealand assistance via various support structures such as the Civilian Surgical Team and the supply of a small non-combatant military force of engineers. The Royal New Zealand Air Force had provided transport assistance since 1962 and this had begun to increase when a sufficiently large airstrip to accommodate the Bristol Freighters of No.40 Squadron was built at Nui Dat. American pressure on both Australia and New Zealand to increase their support to US Forces in Vietnam continued and on March 31st, 1966 Sir Keith Holyoake, the New Zealand Prime Minister, announced that the Royal New Zealand Air Force would contribute to a joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing consisting of three squadrons (two RAAF and one RNZAF) operating a version of the F-5A 'Freedom Fighter' which had just finished a succcessful five-month combat evaluation during 'Operation Skoshi Tiger'. On April 30th, 1966 No.75 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force at Ohakea was disbanded and a new No.75 Squadron was formed on the following day at Bien Hoa Air Base in South-Central southern Vietnam operating a handful of F-5A's and F-5B's loaned from USAF stocks. Experiences gained from 'Skoshi Tiger' were incorporated into a new version of the basic F-5A designated as the F-5D and initial deliveries were made to No.75 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during August 1966 and the squadron were declared operational at the end of September 1966. The joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing at Bien Hoa operated in ground-attack operations over South Vietnam and gained an enviable reputation for bombing accuracy and aircraft availability. When the joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing finally ceased operations at the end of 1971 only eleven F-5D's had been lost over Vietnam - nine to enemy ground fire and two due to an unfortunate collision at take-off. All remaining aircraft were handed over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force in 1972 in a move financed by the Nixon administration as part of the wider policy of 'Vietnamization'.
