Spinners

I know what you mean but there's a big difference between showing a 'what if' like this, made with just one or two serial/code number decals and a full on release with 18-26 decals plus loading screen, read me, packaging, etc. and I really do like to quickly move onto my next interest - lol.

F-5E in a 'Karpada' stylee

Northrop F-5E 'Skoshi Tiger II' - 469th TFS, 388th TFW, USAF, 1975 The success of the USAF's 'Skoshi Tiger' evaluation of the Northrop F-5C led to the adoption of the F-5C as a lower cost alternative to the more expensive F-4 Phantom in an early introduction of the 'Hi-Lo mix' then in favour with Pentagon whizzkids. This in turn led to strong USAF interest in Northrop's proposed follow-on F-5E Tiger II and an accelerated testing and production program. Entering service in 1971 the first USAF squadron to equip with the type was the 469th Tactical Fighter Squadron who operated the aircraft in an operational evaluation program predictably designated 'Skoshi Tiger II'. Skin is from paulopanz' F-5E America download (FAB Camo).

Triple Nickel on top (again)

Right up there with your best Mario!

That might depend on which side of the old 'Iron Curtain' you are...

Hi fenzor and welcome to Combat Ace. Pilots legs dangling outside of the aircraft are a tell-tale sign that a component has been added using the 'fake pilot' method. Go and check the Read Me and/or installation instructions as you've almost certainly installed it incorrectly.

It's really not worth getting one's knickers in a knot...

Oh, you have to be much more patient than that to really enjoy the Strike Fighters experience...

Cold War Warrior! Reflections of the past

Viffing with the Grunts

Spitfires (lol - all not covered by Thirdwire's IX) Typhoon Tempest

Fantastic Russ. The size of the P.1121 will surprise many people! I'd have put it's IOC somewhere between the Lightning and Harrier so the 60's and 70's schemes would be entirely appropriate although I'm sure that we would have seen a 'Desert Pink' FGR.4 too! BTW Bill Gunston has a short chapter on the P.1121 in his book "Fighters of the Fifties" and reckons that around Hawkers the name of 'Hurricane' was openly used for the project.

Well, I have to do something whilst we wait for Expansion Pack 3...
