Ecuador Super Etenard

[anthonyp]

Here's an Airfix 1/72 Super Etenard done up for use by the Ecuadorian Air Force.  I got into a Latin/South America kick when I got some decals from Aztec over the summer, and this is one of the results.  It's not armed with anything too special, just some rocket pods.

Nice one, I like!
¿Why Ecuador would have Super Etendards? Maybe if you think they buy them along with the Jaguars they got from France in the 70´s, you could have some Super Etendards flying from shore bases during the Peru-Ecuador conflict in 81, scoring against the peruvian destroyer "Ferre"....
gosh, I really need a shrink!  :dum: :dum:

Looks sleek; love the finished scheme.  When did you complete this one?

[anthonyp]

September, maybe?  Got the Etenards done before October, as well as the Hornets I'm posting now.  The planes I posted during the week were mostly done after these.  I've got three more models to go, then post pics of the finished Bangladesh Su-34 and USCG F-4J, then I'll be done modelling (save for Secret Santa) till sometime in the Spring.  Almost everything is packed up for the sale and move, and I won't be able to unpack it for about three months.

Another cool looking Etendard Anthony!

Yes, that paint does make the bird look rather sleek !

Maybe Entendard's aren't that ugly after all ? Still looks ugly from the underside, tho.......
