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.

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!

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?).

What twigged me was the fins on those tanks.

And Pericles is right- a nice Thud.

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.
