What if Wyvern

[cthulhu77]

still kicking around the idea of a pylon racer...

I was going to do it anyway, but different camouflage scheme.

Smells like Wyvern group build !



And that way, we could force Patrick into building us a Belgian Navy one !

:dum:

You know, that comment plus the one a few further along by Lancer saying the Wyvern would make a great jungle fighter puts a picture in my mind of a BAF Wyvern armed to the teeth and stationed somewhere in the Congo.

I also have images of it as a weathered hand me down COIN bird in the hands of some poorer African or South American country.

Shame I threw away my extra Zimbabwe air force decals that came with my 1/48 Hobbycraft DH Vampire. :dum:

The CA 1/48 Wyvern has been trying to call my name for a while now and my resistance is begining to falter.

An RAN version or, handed down after RAF efforrts there, a Malaysian version?

WICKED!!!!

My Python engined Wyvren is going to be a Royal Marines bird in one of my scenarios and was wondering about weapon fit.

Then I though instead of bombs or RP's how about slinging one of the "Tiny Tim" rockets in the torpedo crutch ? It would fit but what would she be used for - bunker busting ? - and could she carry anything else as well ?

Drop tanks would be 'bout the only other stores that'd make sense with that payload, Chris.  At least, IMHO.

That's what I was thinking Evan. I've got a couple of Tiny Tim's - they come in the SIGA weapons pack for the Mauler so looks like one goes on a Wyvren
