  1. Yes, it would be nice to see this available.
  2. To be fair Martin, I was just showing a re-decaled version of Spillone104's RF-104G 'LOROP' which uses the Third Wire F-104G with a new recce nose added via Fake Pilot. What have you got planned?
  3. Aeroplane by Mikoyan-Gurevich Truck by ZIL Trees by Bob Ross
  4. It's a D-day 'spotter' flown by US Navy squadron VCS-7
  5. Soko G-4 Super Galeb - Belarusian Air Force, 2005
  6. Aermacchi MB-339A - HävLLv 11, Ilmavoimat, 2003
  7. MiG-23MK - Ukranian Naval Aviation, 1999
  8. J-7FM Fishtail-B - People's Liberation Army Air Force, 2004 Gepard's very inventive J-7FM Fishtail B with a simple 'Lizard' skin.
  9. Unfortunately you can't as I've never uploaded it as it's not complete - basically it has no panel lines or details. If you have anything to help me skin it like a lines layer or the mesh wire layer I'll get it done.
  10. Aermacchi MB-339A - Armenian Air Force, 1994
  11. MiG-23P2K 'Flogger-G' - 62nd Fighter Aviation Regiment, Uzbekistan Air Force, 2002 I can't bring myself to put a roundel on the vertical tail of any aircraft so I've worked the Uzbekistan national emblem into a suitable fin marking for the stock Third Wire skin.
  12. IIRC there are some unfinished 3D models in the SF1 downloads section.
  13. Very nice Henrik and nice of you to drop in!
  14. Hawker Harrier GR.1 - Europa Air Force
  15. @ Doctor Who - How about that basic design without Europe but with something like the NATO emblem in the centre?
  16. And the wing tips. It's an exciting prospect!
  17. That's the immediate problem sorted. Then you need to change the mesh name to rudder (or whatever) and make sure it faces outwards (you are currently showing them on the inside facing surfaces).
  18. Sukhoi Su-47 'Berkut' - Ukraine Air Force, 2009
  19. MiG-27G 'Flogger-D' - 1st Fighter Aviation Regiment, Georgian Air Force, 1993 Artistic licence has been taken with the fin flash (Georgian Air Force Flag) and I appreciate that Georgia might not be quite so arid looking - lol
  20. Grumman-Dornier F-11D 'Super Tiger' - MFG1, Marinefliger, 1964 Grumman’s disappointment with the Wright J65 engine in their promising F11F (Tiger) led to them following a similar path to Lockheed and designing an improved aircraft based around the outstanding General Electric J79 engine. As an interim measure, and mainly at their own expense, Grumman modified two F11-F1’s and fitted J79-GE-3A engines to them and the performance and reliability was so greatly improved that Grumman were soon issuing brochures to anyone in the US Navy who would listen. However, with the F8U-1 Crusader running on a similar timescale and the McDonnell F4H-1 in the pipeline, the US Navy politely declined Grumman’s offer. Undaunted, Grumman studied the market that was opening up in Europe and looked beyond any possible small-scale orders from the Royal Navy and the French Aeronavale. In particular, West Germany appeared to be a whole and potentially lucrative market in itself with the Luftwaffe and Marineflieger possibly requiring 600+ aircraft. Grumman knew that their design was a more flexible aircraft than the compromised ‘straight-line’ Lockheed F-104 and the under-developed English Electric Lightning whilst Dassault did not appear to want to hang bombs on his beautiful delta-winged Mirage III! Grumman’s ‘Super Tiger’ proposal to the Federal German Government was for a multi-role fighter with good air-to-air capability. During late 1958 their proposal was keenly studied by Federal German officials but against Lockheed’s F-104G the Super Tiger looked a bit austere and appeared to be out of contention. However, in January 1959 the Federal German Government stirred the pot by suggesting that they were considering authorising the purchase of two ex-British aircraft carriers for the Marine which allowed Grumman to remind Federal German Government officials that their proposal was carrier capable whereas the others were decidedly not. Sensing a breakthrough, in February 1959 Grumman teamed-up with Dornier to develop the Super Tiger and manufacture any Federal German orders. In March 1959 an order was placed for 400 Super Tigers to be jointly built by a Grumman-Dornier consortium.
  21. Grumman F-11D Super Tiger - 154° Gruppo 6° Stormo, Aeronautica Militare, 1966
  22. Very nice Paul. I just love the Meteor. TK's F.8 is excellent and we can only hope that the two-seaters get the attention they deserve.
