Sure - can you tell me which ones? If not then I'll just work my way down the list and update as necessary.

List updated for Stormtrooper's excellent fictional Skyray skin. Lloyd, do you want me to scan and send you the relevant pages from the Norton book?

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/isaac_gershman/a-4n/ Here's a walk-around of the A-4N. Don't know if it's any use to you guys.

http://www.spectrum-headquarters.com/angel_interceptor.html Have a read of this and get up to speed mate. Russo, according to this the Angels were armed with guns and not lasers anyway.

I know. 'Very large combat ships' obviously means different things to different countries' navies! That last sentence was just a bit of fun. Apparently this is the real deal: http://www.defense-update.com/newscast/110...141107_lcsi.htm Still, it would have been cool to see Israeli F-35Bs making a covert strike from INS Golda Meir on some Nazi hideout deep in the South American jungle!

Just a bit more info from a recent email: Right now none of the Arab countries are in line for the F-35, any version. There was talk with Saudi but we have been told this is not going to happen for a long time after we get the planes. Israel is in deep negotiations with the US Government on many issues, budget being the main one, and other budget considerations from the army and navy. Puts our office in a strange situation as we are competing for 2 very large combat ships for the Israel Navy also Lockheed Martin(tough due to price), plus orders for C-130J's that is more or less a done deal. From the army side there are options for defense systems that the army say they need urgently. Not enough money to go round for all. Nice that our company are the manufacturers of nearly all the budget priorities equipment. Two very large combat ships, planes in grey paint schemes, possible F-35B order. You don't think....?

Some good points made - both on the Saudis getting the F-35 and on the Israeli paint scheme. I'll see if my relative can get some artists impressions - surely Lockheed Martin must have produced some for sales purposes?

It wouldn't suprise me if somewhere down the line Saudi and (maybe Jordan) got F-35s and possibly F-22s. Heck, the way the global economy is going the Saudis may be the only ones who can afford them!

Thanks for spotting the omission Lloyd, I've updated the list for that and for Stormtroopers WIP Skyray skin. Looking forward to your Rapide skin - any chance of a preview pic?

I have a relative who works pretty high up in the Tel Aviv office of Lockheed Martin (and I don't mean on the 15th floor!). This is from an email I just received: As for the planes, we are very hectic with this program right now and have lots of teams coming over from the US on this. The Israel version will be Grey like the US. The actual order has not yet been signed and is still in negotiation stage. (Price shot up from original budget, so difficult situation, especially with everyone hurting financially, including US Aid). We hope to sign in the next few weeks. Only after order signed and we have a specific model for Israel will they assign a name. I will let you know. It is an amazing plane. I used an F-35 simulator that was here for testing and display. Fantastic feeling. Looks like we're going to need a grey Israeli skin after all...

List now updated for: Wilco's Hill Grey post-Gulf War IAF skin for the WOI F-16A JAT81500's award winning IAF skin for Klavs81's F-35A. I've put this in the fictional section for the moment, and will move it to the main list once the plane enters service - which may be as early as 2012 if Wiki is to be believed. Wrench's V2.5 update to Gepard's Israel 2 terrain Thanks one and all. BTW does anyone know if the Israelis have assigned a nickname to the F-35 yet?

Hreat stuff Veltro. Looking forward to it.

Had them in my DACM install for ages. It's one of my only installs that I like to fly as the 'bad guys'

Many happy returns guys.

Just saw this. Thanks very much mate - the fast wasn't too bad this year. Don't think I'd like to keep Ramadam though!

One of the best.

Great stuff lindr2! Any chance of the 9M114 Shturm (AT-6 Spiral) for the Mi-24 at some point?

Plus the Mustang, Meteor & C-47 open the possibility of a WW2 sim in the future...
