Next, the A-6A late improved to the same standard as the newly uploaded A-6A Early.

SAAB/IAI J-35I D'rakon, 170th Squadron "The Orange Tails", 1971 There was already a israeli Draken from me, but I decided to redo it.

I made some remarks to show which recon pod belongs to East Germans and which to the Polish. It could be, that the polish pods based on UB-32 pod, while the east german pods were modified UB-16.

The F1M is the next one on our to do list.

Block 10 - check tailplane size, the enlarged version that came with Block 15 has more area on the leading edge too and not only the bigger trailing edge This (large-area leading edge) is wrong on the TW F-16A, iirc - fuselage pylon, there are two - 1 for tank/bombs, a shorter and shallower pylon for ECM pods (missing on all F-16's iirc) - wing weapons pylons - only 1 type (size/shape) for all 4 wing positions (the short one on the model is correct) The longer pylon presently on the innermost position is for large 600 370 Gal tanks - both tank and pylon are jettisoned as one unit EDIT large 600 Gal tanks have their own pylon, its a export F-16C thing - Block 10/15 have only the 2 rearmost C/F dispeners, not the 2 extra on the LH side

Mirage F1 EE with AN/ALR-300 RWR is uploaded and will be available soon The preview

Well, that is most interesting. I was not aware that other air forces also created locally and used recon pods based on the UB-16 rocket pod. I guess that was some Warsaw pact sharing of ideas and experience

that is what i have now for the F-16A_B10 , let me know if i missed something

I took together some pics / infos about recce pods on 21s:

Looks impressive.

The updated A-6A Early has been uploaded please don't forget to delete the old install before adding the new files.

The small fin sensors on the pitot tube are AoA sensors of the aiming device for the gun. Since the MiG-21RF had had no gun, so they were useless, thatswhy the "clean" pitot tube. The small wing pods, you mention, are a good argument. But the wings are interchangable between MiG-21 versions. In the LSK (East German Air Force) we had exactly one MiG-21UM with the wings of the MiG-21MF (2 hardpoints each wing), while all other Sparkas had 1 hardpoint per wing. What me makes thinking, that teh egyptian MiG-21RF are modified MiG-21MF is the engine. They had R-13F-300 engines. The guy, who made the upper photo said, that he was able, during his visit in the ukrainian repar facility in Odessa, to have a look in the engine tube and he realized, that it was a R-13, not an R-11. IIRC, i have heared, that it was nearly impossible to fit a R-13 in the fuselage of a MiG-21 of the first and second generation, because parts of the engine were located at other positions. And the MiG-21R was a plane of the second MiG-21 generation. On the other hand the egyptians were tricky guys. Perhaps they have found a way to make the impossible possible. It's confusing.

Very nice. Any chance for upgraded Mirage F1EM VI, or private fleet - 63 Dassault fighter jets that were acquired by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) ?

From Wikipedia: MiG-21RF (Izdeliye 94RA; NATO "Fishbed-H") Egyptian designation for MiG-21R aircraft which had been locally modified by permanently mounting the cameras in a fairing under the nose. 16 or 18 planes were modified, the R11F2-300 turbojet, the pitot was moved to the right and no AoA vanes were present. Look at the side air sensor, inherited from the PFM series All R models were configured in this way BUT and yes, a big BUT Quoting Wikipedia again: MiG-21RF (Izdeliye 96R; NATO "Fishbed-H") Not to be confused with the Egyptian local designation "MiG-21RF." This designation was used after some MiG-21Rs were upgraded with R13-300 engines as in the MiG-21MF. So, this is a yes and a no on all previous statements and we will be more confused Now I will have another version to be made hahahahahahahahahaahhaha

Me boy a bajar del barco por un tiempo ,tengo que mudar mi PC a Windows 10 y no se que resultará de este cambio, solo espero que no me de problemas. Esto es en lo que estaba trabajando, y mi tiempo para esto ya se cuenta en minutos en lugar de horas como en otros tiempos.

Trying out in the famous 354th. One mission down, took a bunch of hits but brought her home. Mission complete but my terrible dive bombing run continued and I hit nothing. I was plum on the rear of a lone MiG-17 with a clean aircraft and a speed advantage, but as it was over Cat Bi I thought better of it and stayed on the deck with the burner plugged in.

...up ahead's another town....... that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes) Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain

well i try on the research everything in red is placed there by text on website, not a book (which i feel is less likely for errors) or pic i know, it stayed the same for Euro 1 too

Oh, soooooo funny! Be well brother!! Update on the F-13 Peek-A-Boo Cannon! Airbrakes still WIP

Here in the U.S., it is the day after Memorial Day. Still fresh in my mind is remembering and reflecting on the ultimate sacrifices made. And another reminder of how important it is to set aside our differences, and unify our thoughts and prayers around a common purpose. And then each year as Summer heats up, it gets me re-energized around Vietnam as the August Gulf of Tonkin anniversary comes around that escalated everything. And all that got me thinking… The old glory days of widespread Vietnam interest have faded away, and today a much smaller and fragmented approach remains. In my humble opinion, while individual projects and personal initiatives arise that are commendable, it no longer makes sense to continue to stand-up siloed projects. We have eBurger’s legendary SF2V Air & Ground War, YAP and Revamped YAP, When Thunder Rolled, Capun’s Vietnam creations, individual project efforts and more. Every one of these projects for various reasons have decided to “go at it alone” with a select group of participants and insiders. And yet every one of them is re-creating the same things over and over again; offering different flavors/versions like the terrain, aircraft, ground objects, etc. Can we consider a new and perhaps better approach this year? I would like to propose joining forces and the unification of all these projects. Bringing together, where it makes sense and is mutually agreeable, all available Vietnam project components, assets and team talents for those willing. And we set a new quality and ethical baseline, a fresh start, collaborating to ensure we use only purified assets - those that have received proper permission and credit. This ethical approach not only honors the original creators but also upholds the integrity of the new unified vision. One initial plan and consideration could be to deliver the project in phases. Starting with the most important aspects of the war, obviously for me that is Operation Rolling Thunder. And then expand to cover additional campaigns/strategies such as the Tet Offensive, Lam Son 719, and more. Along the way we expand and cover what is needed – such as supporting/major helo operations (LZ X-Ray a must), Search and Rescues including BAT 21 Bravo, Recon aircraft such as Bird Dogs over the A Shau Valley and more. We compare assets, we leverage what is best available from across the projects and where appropriate create a trusted sharing arrangement. And it’s done in a controlled and manageable “piece by piece” approach broadening out the scope covering more and more aspects of the war. I don't have all the answers on the nitty gritty how and what about this, or what about that - I'm just trying to first assess the possibility and potential interest. Let me also say, that I have been blessed and trusted by many modders with literally countless source files, permissible contributions and assets related to Vietnam. Being a Vietnam fanatic, I have meaningful relationships in some capacity with every one of these separate Vietnam-era projects underway, including all project leaders. I am already reaching out to them to further explore this idea and others as well. In full transparency, having access to and being a major contributor to the When Thunder Rolled project opens up incredible new options and considerations no longer exclusively payware and many more options for freeware and donation-based approaches. For example, instead of creating yet another terrain foundation, perhaps the WTR terrain that already included the ground-breaking original/enhanced version with rail lines, Ho Chi Minh trails, NVA camps and countless other details could simply be leveraged - and then simply enhanced for accuracy and "updated" vs. having to “do it all over again.” Obviously just one example, but when scaled to the entire scope of possible assets becomes a major accelerator to enhancing Vietnam-era assets with better options available today. I am wondering if we could set aside and work through our past and differences, and look towards a different future. By coming together and unifying our efforts, we can combine the best of our resources, talents, and ideas. This unity not only becomes a rallying point, but also fosters a sense of community and love for a shared purpose among all participants. We can create a cohesive and powerful tribute that far surpasses anything we could achieve alone. Could this be a possibility; what are your thoughts?

I will be uploading two new updates to the A-6A models with a lot of improvements thanks to yakarov79 for his work and assistance in springing this update.

As I am doing this with no specific order... MiG-21F and F-13 Cannon will be added later New gear doors Small diameter wheels and wheel bays And yes, I am working on the other versions too, completing the skins...

Thank you ravenclaw looks brilliant, I now have enoigh bombs to finish the mission
