I've still got that gallery of Hound Dog photos I sent you way back when.

Little hard to tell since most of the difference is in the 'fatter' undersides of the attack Tweet. Obviously, it looks like the trainer since it lacks the tip tanks or minigun in the nose.
Basically, the A-27 had larger engine nacelles (hung down lower; upper contour appears to be the same), and fatter tires - covered by bulged covers on the mains. The rest (tip tanks, minigun, hardpoints, IFR probe, etc.) are pretty much add-ons to the trainer. So, some minor 'stretching' of the nacelles and bit of bulge to the mains and you've pretty well covered it. I found a couple of images that provide a chance to see the (admittedly) subtle difference between the two: http://www.supertweet.org/wp-content...essna_a37b.jpg and http://www.globalaviationresource.co...t/images/2.jpg You can see the fatter tires and lower profile on the A bird. Less obvious is the lack of a "splitter plate" on the A bird (not really a SP in the usual sense...) Also, the A bird has 'flip up' intake grills intended to catch FOD (debris) from getting sucked into the intakes. Fairly good picture of one on thePrime Portal site. The Vector Site has a write up on the Tweet that can help explain some stuff re: the variants. http://www.vectorsite.net/avtweet.html

I think my model is gonna represent the Tweet in general, and not be tied to a specific model (I will throw in wingtip tanks, weapons pylons, and the minigun fairing on the nose though.) |

You can see a little triangular shadow from the strakes beginning to the "U".

Hey Wulph, if you still want to order a CD, send me an pm and I'll make one special for you (if you want both CD's, I'll put both onto one disk to save room.)

Lot's of high res on Google images: <T-37 cessna tweet> search terms. The T-37A/B had the nose strakes and simple engine inlets. Engines were old-style centrifugal flow compressor turbojets - very tolerant and robust engines (they were capable of eating most runway trash and spitting it out the back - with a few sparks but little damage).
The A-37 had few visible airframe changes other than slightly larger engine nacelles to accommodate the axial flow engines out of a T-38 swapped in for more thrust. Yogi |
