The next project primer
The easter egg in my last build revealed the faintest hint of my next project. it is one of Bruno's (S&P) earlier aircraft,2nd gen I think. The colors are fantastic and the aircraft is another favorite. It was well designed but needs a few tweaks. I scratch built landing gear, and built up some add-ons presented here. first is the MK 117 gp bombs and the mer that holds them. The sffl shows some gross flaws that are barely noticeable in person. I took Bruno's napalm bomb and a bomb from one of the hurricanes and fuzed them together to make a passable mk117. The mer rack is from Bruno's freebie Vietnam war set.

Here is the main landing gear legs, the rest of the detail is on the revised main parts sheet...

Last of the add-on goodies are 2 aux fuel tanks. these come from one of Bruno's freebies or I ripped them from one of his A4's or something. They can be seen with and without tail fins, most pics I 've seen of the subject show them with fins. also on the display eraser are 2 aim 9 sidewinders...
Anyhows from just the doo-dads shown here you can deduce the project is a 'Nam era aircraft. I partially started building it up last week but found a few quirks that needed remedied. I proof tested some of the other parts and feel confident when I build the modified parts they should work out okay. But like Mike Tyson says,"everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." we'll see soon. |

That's looking great, Ted!
Gene K P.S. You might want to check the White Balance on your phone/camera since your photos appear to have a green tint (fluorescent lighting?). |

CMDR, you seem to be on top of the mods you're doing so far. Think perhaps your skills would extend to an F-105G Wild Weasel? The second 'office' would be the biggest hurdle.
