Upcoming models

[murphyaa]

I'm gonna split the fuselage, but not the wings. We'll see how big I can get it.

I was gonna make a gag suggestion that you put a soda or beverage bottle of your choice on it.

I actually looked at recommending the AMX shuttles to put on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. At least until I can get one of my own designed (I'm trying, but just can't grasp the shape of the fuselage yet.) I'm also thinking of designing an X-45C to put on it too.

SOOOOOO sorry to hear that the Mohawk is shelved. I was really excited about this beautiful airplane. Hope you pick it up again shortly. There is no Mohawk made of paper, There are several excellent 747s in paper out there in all sizes and accuracy. I'm sure you understand my meaning, with all due respect.

WWWEEELLLL. Would a model of a OV-1A/JOV-1A, The one by Roden at 1/48 help?
It's unbuilt and the part bags are still sealed with only the instructions and decal bag open.
I just ask for two things: Obviously finish the Mohawk -1A and possibly do the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Pod for the -1D .
*He shuffles his feet and looks down* and the other thing maybe add to your 'to design' list: X-47B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B

Any way Thanks for the great work and sharing it with us Murphy

I've got plenty of reference images. I take a few dozen pictures of the one down at Pima every time I go. I just lost the oomph I needed to push it over to the finished model stage.

I'm planning on doing the X-45C to stick on top of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft:

----------------------------
I need some Googlefu assistance again. I've been searching for hours, but I can't find a high resolution image of the first emblem on the side of the cockpit.



I have the other two already. Does anybody have any idea what it is?

picked from this walk around at Davis Monthan Air-and-Space.com: Boeing YAL-1A Airborne Laser

Yeah, I found it right after posting the question. Kinda like when you buy a replacement for a lost item, the item shows up again.

Just watched the Honeywell 757 with the extra engine pylon behind the cockpit take off. Never knew it was based here.

Any updates on the F-15 Reporter bundles? Seems kind of quiet lately.

And is this the Honeywell 757 you saw? First I’ve heard of it. Anybody have any background information on her?

[murphyaa]

I'm actually gonna release the Reporters tomorrow. I'm trying to get to a series a week.

--------------------------------------
That's the bird. Looks like she's based at the Honeywell plant at the airport. I've been seeing it over the past couple weeks, but never connected what it was until I saw it close up (taking off),and was able to match the markings.

I got to see 3 versions of the 757 I want to do. I got to fuel an American Airlines 757, got to see the Honeywell 757 again, and got to watch Air Force Two land.
